description: Timed automata (TAs) are an efficient formalism to model and verify systems with hard timing constraints, and concurrency. While TAs assume exact timing constants with infinite precision, parametric TAs (PTAs) leverage this limitation and increase their expressiveness, at the cost of undecidability. A practical explanation for the efficiency of TAs is zone extrapolation, where clock valuations beyond a given constant are considered equivalent. This concept cannot be easily extended to PTAs, due to the fact that parameters can be unbounded. In this work, we propose several definitions of extrapolation for PTAs based on the M-extrapolation, and we study their correctness. Our experiments show an overall decrease of the computation time and, most importantly, allow termination of some previously unsolvable benchmarks.

description: Specifying properties can be challenging work. In this paper, we propose an automated approach to exemplify properties given in the form of automata extended with timing constraints and timing parameters, and that can also encode constraints over real-valued signals. That is, given such a specification and given an admissible automaton for each signal, we output concrete runs exemplifying real (or impossible) runs for this specification. Specifically, our method takes as input a specification, and a set of admissible behaviors, all given as a subclass of rectangular hybrid automata, namely timed automata extended with arbitrary clock rates, signal constraints, and timing parameters. Our method then generates concrete runs exemplifying the specification.

Optimal musical engagement: the individual experience of participation within a musical community of practice
Creators: name: Godwin, Louise
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This study explores the research problem of how to increase ongoing, life-long participation in playing a musical instrument. The research aim is to understand the nature and character of musical engagement within the case study group, and seek findings that may provide insights into how to foster ongoing participation in playing and learning a musical instrument.

The case study adopts a qualitative research approach to examine the relationship between the participation characteristics of an all-ages community-based fiddle group in central Scotland, and each participant’s perception of the quality of individual musical experience. Qualitative data is gathered through one-to-one interviews with eleven participants ranging from eight to sixteen years. This data set is triangulated with quantitative data collected through the online survey and documentary evidence.

Employing a phenomenological research approach, the researcher utilises a series of filters and lenses in order to analyse the data from the perspective of individual enjoyment, musical agency, self-affirmation and social affirmation. This process establishes various themes pertaining to the experience of participation in the musical community of practice arranged in four chapters: the collective dimension (belonging); the individual dimension (becoming); the cultural context and genre; and the pedagogical approach.

The research reveals that enjoyment is both an outcome of the experience of group participation, and a necessary factor if musical engagement is to be achieved. The findings demonstrate that lifelong participation in playing music can be fostered by participation in a musical community of practice grounded within an inclusive philosophy, embedded in an agreed cultural context and musical genre, and adopting a pedagogical approach which prioritises equally the individual and collective dimensions of musical agency.

description: We present a comparative study of different modeling approaches to the electronic properties of the $\textrm{Hf}_{0.05}\textrm{Nb}_{0.05}\textrm{Ta}_{0.8}\textrm{Ti}_{0.05}\textrm{Zr}_{0.05}$ high entropy alloy. Common to our modeling is the methodology to compute the one-particle Green's function in the framework of density functional theory. We demonstrate that the special quasi-random structures modeling and the supercell, i.e. the locally self-consistent multiple-scatering methods provide very similar results for the ground state properties such as the spectral function (density of states) and the equilibrium lattice parameter. To reconcile the multiple-scattering single-site coherent potential approximation with the real space supercell methods, we included the effect of screening of the net charges of the alloy components. Based on the analysis of the total energy and spectral functions computed within the density functional theory, we found no signature for the long-range or local magnetic moments formation in the $\textrm{Hf}_{0.05}\textrm{Nb}_{0.05}\textrm{Ta}_{0.8}\textrm{Ti}_{0.05}\textrm{Zr}_{0.05}$ high entropy alloy, instead we find possible superconductivity below $\sim 9$K.

description: Introduction of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in a Josephson junction (JJ) gives rise to unusual Josephson effects. We investigate JJs based on a newly discovered heterodimensional superlattice V$_5$S$_8$ with a special form of SOC. The unique homointerface of our JJs enables elimination of extrinsic effects due to interfaces and disorder. We observe asymmetric Fraunhofer patterns with respect to both the perpendicular magnetic field and the current. The asymmetry is influenced by an in-plane magnetic field. Analysis of the pattern points to a nontrivial spatial distribution of the Josephson current that is intrinsic to the SOC in V$_5$S$_8$.

description: In emergency medical situations, individuals are often exposed to unknown pathogenic viruses and bacteria. Therefore, the use of portable pulsed light UV disinfection devices in emergency and critical care centers has increased. However, the virucidal efficacy of these devices remain unclear. The present study aimed to examine the virucidal efficacy of a portable pulsed light UV disinfection device against various viruses. The efficacy of a portable pulsed light UV disinfection device, obtained from ClearPulse® (COMET CORPORATION, Tokyo, Japan), was investigated against feline calicivirus, influenza A virus, herpes simplex virus type 2, poliovirus type 3, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The device was tested at various irradiation times (1, 5, and 10 s) and irradiation distances (1, 5, and 10 cm). The portable pulsed light UV disinfection device was effective against the tested viruses at an irradiation distance ≤ 5 cm and an irradiation time ≥ 5 s. These results indicate that the portable pulsed light UV disinfection device is effective for the rapid disinfection of surfaces against viruses, making it highly useful in emergency and critical care situations.

Essays on the role of the incentives of issuers, transparency, and culture on the global IPO underpricing difference
Creators: name: Jamaani, Fouad

Year: 2024

subject: Finance

description: Initial public offerings (IPOs) underpricing is a widely researched area in finance literature. Yet, empirical evidence demonstrating and theoretical models explaining differences in underpricing across countries have remained an enigma in academia for a long time. This thesis consists of three independently interconnected essays that explain differences in underpricing observed across the Group of Twenty (G20) IPO markets. This is achieved using the Entrepreneurial Wealth Losses¿ (EWL) theory, time-variant differences in country-level transparency, and differences in country-level national cultures. Specifically, the purpose is to answer the following three main research questions: (1) does entrepreneurial wealth losses theory explain underpricing differences across IPO markets?; (2) do differences in country-level transparency directly explain underpricing and moderate the relationship between firm-level variables and underpricing across IPO markets?; and (3) do differences in country-level national cultures directly explain underpricing and modify the relationship between firm-level variables and underpricing across IPO markets? A total of 10,217 IPOs, covering 12 developed and 10 developing G20 economies from January 1995 to December 2016, were obtained from secondary sources. The quantitative techniques of unbalanced cross-sectional regression models, Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS), one-way clustered 2SLS, and two-way clustered 2SLS models, Hierarchical Linear Modelling (HLM), and number of robustness tests were employed to test the hypotheses. The EWL model is adopted and extended in this thesis. This research contributes to the theoretical framework by providing methodological advances in various finance areas like IPOs, IPO-governance and IPO-cultural literature, and has practical implications for researchers, investors, entrepreneurs and policy-makers.

description: We study the Hubbard model with time-reversal invariant flux and spin-orbit coupling and position-dependent onsite energies on the kagome lattice, using numerical and analytical methods. In particular, we perform calculations using real space dynamical mean-field theory (R-DMFT). To study the topological properties of the system, we use the topological Hamiltonian approach. We obtain a rich phase diagram: for weak and intermediate interactions, depending on the model parameters, the system is in the band insulator, topological insulator, or metallic phase, while for strong interactions the system is in the Mott insulator phase. We also investigate the magnetic phases that occur in this system. For this purpose, in addition to R-DMFT, we also use two analytical methods: perturbation theory for large interactions and onsite energies, and stochastic mean-field theory.

description: Old-minimal $R+R^2$ supergravity has a $U(1)$ R-symmetry which rotates the chiral curvature superfield. We gauge this R-symmetry and study new interactions involving the gauge multiplet in the context of inflation and supersymmetry breaking. We construct models where supersymmetry and the R-symmetry are spontaneously broken during and after Starobinsky inflation, and one-loop gauge anomalies are cancelled by the Green--Schwarz mechanism which can also generate Standard Model gaugino masses. The hierarchy between the auxiliary fields, $\langle F\rangle\gtrsim\langle D\rangle$, leads to split mass spectrum where the chiral multiplet masses are around the inflationary scale ($10^{13}$ GeV), while the gauge multiplet masses can be arbitrarily small.

description: A metallic covalently bonded carbon allotrope is predicted via first principles calculations. It is composed of an $sp^3$ carbon framework that acts as a diamond anvil cell by constraining the distance between parallel cis-polyacetylene chains. The distance between these $sp^2$ carbon atoms renders the phase metallic, and yields two well-nested nearly parallel bands that span the Fermi level. Calculations show that this phase is a conventional superconductor, with the motions of the $sp^2$ carbons being key contributors to the electron phonon coupling. The $sp^3$ carbon atoms impart superior mechanical properties, with a predicted Vickers hardness of 48~GPa. This phase, metastable at ambient conditions, could be made via cold compression of graphite to 40~GPa. A family of multifunctional materials with tunable superconducting and mechanical properties could be derived from this phase by varying the $sp^2$ versus $sp^3$ carbon content and by doping.

description: Spin accumulation induced by an electric field in chiral electron system is investigated based on a linear response theory. It is shown that the spin response function has a spatially uniform component due to the chiral angular momentum generation effect, resulting in a nonlocal spin generation. The result suggests a scenario for nonlocal long-range spin transport in chiral metals reported experimentally recently.

We also show that this tiling is unique up to symmetries, which proves a variation of a conjecture by Bölcskei from 2001. For positive integers $p$ and $q$ this tiling also provides a tiling of $(\mathbb{Z}/(p^n+q^n)\mathbb{Z})^n$.

BioTwist - overcoming severe distortions in ridge-based biometrics for successful identification
Creators: name: Kotzerke, Johannes
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Biometrics rely on a physical trait's permanence and stability over time, as well as its individuality, robustness and ease to be captured. Challenges arise when working with newborns or infants because of the tininess and fragility of an infant's features, their uncooperative nature and their rapid growth. The last of these is particularly relevant when one tries to verify an infant's identity based on captures of a biometric taken at an earlier age. Finding a physical trait that is feasible for infants is often referred to as the infant biometric problem.

This thesis explores the quality aspect of adult fingermarks and the correlation between image quality and the mark’s usefulness for an ongoing forensic investigation, and researches various aspects of the “ballprint” as an infant biometric. The ballprint, the friction ridge skin area of the foot pad under the big toe, exhibits similar properties to fingerprint but the ball possesses larger physical structures and a greater number of features.

We collected a longitudinal ballprint database from 54 infants within 3 days of birth, at two months old, at 6 months and at 2 years. It has been observed that the skin of a newborn's foot dries and cracks so the ridge lines are often not visible to the naked eye and an adult fingerprint scanner cannot capture them.

This thesis presents the physiological discovery that the ballprint grows isotropically during infancy and can be well approximated by a linear function of the infant's age. Fingerprint technology developed for adult fingerprints can match ballprints if they are adjusted by a physical feature (the inter-ridge spacing) to be of a similar size to adult fingerprints. The growth in ballprint inter-ridge spacing mirrors infant growth in terms of length/height.

When growth is compensated for by isotropic rescaling, impressive verification scores are achieved even for captures taken 22 months apart. The scores improve even further when low-quality prints are rejected; the removal of the bottom third improves the Equal Error Rate from 1-2% to 0%.

In conclusion, this thesis demonstrates that the ballprint is a feasible solution to the infant biometric problem.

description: Minimum invasive surgery is based on bilateral teleoperation in which surgeon interacts with the master side to the slave side that is located at a distance. The synchronization in between the two ends is through a communication channel. The primary objective in the telesurgery is the position and force tracking providing the surgeon with high fidelity. The presence of time delays in the communication channels makes the realization more difficult, and sometimes it may even destabilize the system. The work focuses on a design of the force control system by using Model Predictive Control to compensate for the effects of the time delay related to the use of surgical arms. Another vital issue of minimum impact velocity during contact with the environment has been tried to achieve by using the prediction from the Model Predictive Control to prevent accidental tissue damage. This work also addresses a problem of the developing a simple delayed free predictive kinematic imaging to understand the type of behavior of the system during contact with the environment when no perception is available.

description: Climate fiction, or 'cli-fi', represents a valuable bridge for the communication of climate science. Although there is a developing body of scholarly literature on cli-fi, much of which appropriately draws on philosophy and close-reading practices, there are very few accounts that offer a taxonomy of the genre itself. The Critical Component, Fiction in a Strange Climate, advances a descriptive typology of climate fictions based upon a qualitative dataset of over two hundred fictions, which has been built especially for the purposes of this thesis. The creative component, a novel entitled Children of Tomorrow, also takes up the subject of anthropogenic climate change.

Combined, the critical and practical components attempt to answer the central research question: how, and to what extent, has narrative fiction—in particular, the novel—engaged with anthropogenic climate change?

description: Despite its cultural diversity, Turkey remains a notable gap in the research map of folk linguistics and perceptual dialectology. This paper presents the results of a pilot study on the perception of dialectal variation conducted in Istanbul using the draw-a-map method. The proclamations of great dialectal diversity in Turkey notwith-standing, only a small minority of the respondents admitted to using a dialect themselves. Nonetheless, certain sociodemographic variables have been found to correlate with the selection of certain cities on the map. The discussion examines the potential linguistic and sociological factors influencing the responses, as well as the perception of dialectal variation in general. It emphasises the interplay between exposure, knowledge, and cultural diversity, and touches on the sociolinguistic context in Turkey.Türkiye’nin kültürel çeşitliliğine rağmen, halk dilbilimi ve algısal diyalektoloji araştırma haritasında dikkate değer bir boşluk olarak kalmaktadır.

description: The interactions of $\bar{D}^{(*)} Λ_c - \bar{D}^{(*)}Σ_c^{(*)}$ are studied within the framework of a dynamical coupled-channel approach. A series of bound states and resonances with different spin and parity are dynamically generated in the hidden charm sector. Four $S$-wave bound states are found in the mass range of 4.3 to 4.5 GeV, close to the pentaquark states observed by LHCb. Two of the states have a spin parity of $J^P= 1/2^-$ and the other two have $J^P=3/2^-$. In addition, several resonances with different spin and parity in higher partial waves are predicted.
Modelled on software engineering: flexible parametric models in the practice of architecture
Creators: name: Davis, Daniel
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: In this thesis I consider the relationship between the design of software and the design of flexible parametric models.

There is growing evidence that parametric models employed in practice lack the flexibility to accommodate certain design changes. When a designer attempts to change a model’s geometry (by modifying the model’s underlying functions and parameters) they occasionally end up breaking the model. The designer is then left with a dilemma: spend time building a new model, or abandon the changes and revise the old model. Similar dilemmas exist in software engineering. Despite these shared concerns, Robert Woodbury (2010, 66) states that there is currently “little explicit connection” between the practice of software engineering and the practice of parametric modelling.

In this thesis I consider, using a reflective practice methodology, how software engineering may inform parametric modelling. Across three case studies I take aspects of the software engineering body of knowledge (language paradigms; structured programming; and interactive programming) and apply them to the design of parametric models for the Sagrada Família, the Dermoid pavilion, and the Responsive Acoustic Surface. In doing so I establish three new parametric modelling methods.

The contribution of this research is to show there are connections between the practice of software engineering and the practice of parametric modelling. These include the following:
• Shared challenges: Both practices involve unexpected changes occurring within the rigid logic of computation.
• Shared research methods: Research methods from software engineering apply to the study of parametric modelling.
• Shared practices: The software engineering body of knowledge seems to offer a proven pathway for improving the practice of parametric modelling.

These connections signal that software engineering is an underrepresented and important precedent for architects using parametric models; a finding that has implications for how parametric modelling is taught, how parametric models are integrated with practice, and for how researchers study and discuss parametric modelling.

description: We report on the low-temperature thermal expansion and magnetostriction of the single-impurity quadrupolar Kondo candidate Y$_{1-x}$Pr$_{x}$Ir$_2$Zn$_{20}$. In the dilute limit, we find a quadrupolar strain that possesses a singular dependence on temperature $T$, $\varepsilon_{\mathrm{u}} \sim H^2 \log 1/T$, for a small but finite magnetic field $H$. Together with the previously reported anomalous specific heat $C$, this implies a quadrupolar Grüneisen ratio $Γ_u = \partial_T \varepsilon_{\mathrm{u}}/C \sim H^2/(T^2 \log 1/T)$ whose divergence for finite $H$ is consistent with the scenario of a quadrupolar Kondo effect. In addition, we find a singular behavior of the isotropic strain $\varepsilon_{\mathrm{B}}$ in zero magnetic field resulting in a divergence of both the volume thermal expansion and the volume Grüneisen parameter. We speculate that this behavior might be also induced by putative Kondo correlations via elastic anharmonicities or static strain disorder.

subject: Interaction and experience design

description: This PhD project, presented as a thesis with publications, explores integrating decision support tools in daily strategising activities to mitigate food loss and waste (FLW). Even with the global capacity of the food industry and the supply chain to feed everyone, significant FLW persists annually. In addressing this challenge, the research investigates the multifaceted nature of organisational decision-making to curtail surplus food production and diminish FLW, a critical component for achieving sustainable food systems. By employing strategy as practice and sociomateriality frameworks, the research demonstrates the dynamics of social and technological factors influencing decisions within organisational contexts. Through 22 in-depth interviews with representatives from 20 diverse organisations, the findings provide insights into strategic approaches for industry-wide FLW reduction while considering the social and material factors influencing organisational decision-making processes. Hence, the central finding of this thesis is that entrenched practices tend to impede the adoption of sustainable strategies, posing constraints to the food industry's innovation and resilience amid growing environmental and social imperatives. The findings of this research are relevant to the academic literature in two ways. Empirically, the thesis contributes to the emerging literature on strategic management that explores social and material agencies within strategic decision-making for FLW reduction. Theoretically, identifying practice inertia in sociomaterial strategic practices offers novel insights into the interdependencies between organisational routines and technological platforms, contributing to the understanding of the barriers and catalysts in the food industry that are likely to hinder sustainable transformation. Thus, addressing practice inertia involves a comprehensive approach, intertwining technology, strategy, and behavioural transformation to foster sustainable and resilient food industry practices. In doing so, it proposes a pathway for research that examines sociomaterial concerns which may arise in the future within strategic management and the sociomaterial ecosystems these strategies create and influence.

A Consistent Theory of Tachyons with Interesting Physics for Neutrinos

description: Working strictly within the physics theories of Special and General Relativity, I have produced a series of studies developing a consistent mathematical description of tachyons, using both classical and quantum frameworks for particles and fields. The most important choices throughout this work concern the question of which habits from the study of ordinary particles (those that are restricted to velocities less than that of light) should be kept and which should be changed. The first part of this paper notes an alternative set of theories wherein that question is answered differently from the choices of this author; and the results of that are severe in terms of physical symmetry. Following that is a broad summary of what has been accomplished in this work: this starts with the recognition that low energy tachyons will create large gravitational fields through the space-components of the energy-momentum tensor and leads to studying properties of the cosmic neutrino background. Lastly there is a discourse on the various arguments that have been given against the very possibility for tachyons to exist.

description: To be fully conscious of one’s own imminent or eventual death is a solitary and repeated confrontation with finite reality. This is a time where one’s consciousness switches between truly knowing inevitable mortality and possibly finding refuge in the fullness of life. To be in ‘apprehension’ denotes being in fearful anticipation and has a quality of grasping, or taking hold. As time limited beings our approach to an intimate relationship with mortality may cause perplexity and fear while the meaning of death itself remains elusive. Fear and unknowing may promote the need to seek and hold meaning. This research project arises from my lived and observed experience of the fragility of human existence, an experience that highlights the transience of life and the impermanence of the material world. In my research practice I explore the moment of attempting to recognize my own inevitable death. I aim to evoke a contemplative response through the delivery of my research project, where questions of meaning relating to mortality can be addressed.

In considering the apprehension of mortality the philosophical approaches of Henri Bergson, Gilles Deleuze, Martin Heidegger and Kitaro Nishida are discussed alongside psychological and neurobiological interpretations of time and responses to mortality. Art practitioners such as Claire Morgan, Bill Viola, Lee Ufan, Len Lye and Laura Woodward are key to framing my approach to studio investigation. I find a material quality in the apprehension, or grasp, of mortality. Areas of practice include light, sculpture, photography, kinetic art, 3D design, rendering and printing, sound and video. Video projection emerges as the primary medium in the delivery of my project. An appreciation of expressions of time is significant in my research direction. Through involving the viewer in a time extended visual experience I aim to evoke a contemplative moment, in which repetition, movement, variation, duration, irresolution and yearning take place as human responses to mortality.

description: Vector vortex beams, featuring independent spatial modes in orthogonal polarization components, offer an increase in information density for emerging applications in both classical and quantum communication technology. Recent advances in optical instrumentation have led to the ability of generating and manipulating such beams. Their tomography is generally accomplished by projection measurements to identify polarization as well as spatial modes. In this paper we demonstrate spatially resolved generalized measurements of arbitrary vector vortex beams. We perform positive operator valued measurements (POVMs) in an interferometric setup that characterizes the vector light mode in a single-shot. This offers superior data acquisition speed compared to conventional Stokes tomography techniques, with potential benefits for communication protocols as well as dynamic polarization microscopy of materials.

description: We present measurements of periodicity for transverse loop oscillations during the periods of activity of two remote and separated (both temporally and spatially) flares. The oscillations are observed in the same location more than 100 Mm away from the visible footpoints of the loops. Evidence for several possible excitation sources is presented. After close examination, we find that the eruptions during the flaring activities play an important role in triggering the oscillations. We investigate periodicities using time-distance, Fast Fourier Transform, and Wavelet techniques. Despite different excitation sources in the vicinity of the loops and the changing nature of amplitudes, the periodicity of multiple oscillations is found to be 4 - 6 minutes.

New insights into the capillary retention force and the work of adhesion

description: We calculate the normal capillary retention force that anchors a drop to a solid surface in the direction perpendicular to the surface, and study the relationship between such force and the Young-Dupre work of adhesion. We also calculate the work necessary to create or destroy a patch of solid-liquid interface by moving the triple line on a solid substrate. We argue that when the capillary number is small and a drop is sliding on a surface at constant speed, the lateral retention force is the major source of energy dissipation, whereas viscous dissipation plays a minor role.
