Management of freshwater resources in Israel and Lebanon
Creators: name: Hindy, Antoun
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis explores the larger number of issues that underpin the allocation of water, water rights, and conflict over water. After specifying the weak points in the existing relevant legal instruments, this thesis take into consideration the inclusion of economic, culture-religion and political contextual precepts as a remedy to the legal deficiency. The aim is to discover patterns of cooperation among the riparian adversaries, to generate a working hypothesis on cooperation over water issues.

This thesis argues that no single set of actors holds the key to effectively addressing the challenge of equitable and sustainable management of precious water resources. It is also important to realize that it is not enough just to seek to increase the availability and usability of water.

However, it is also the case that the private sector, non-governmental organizations, international agencies and national agencies can play a major role both as investors and as managers of utilities. In fact, many would agree that it is the common responsibility of all actors in society: businesses, governments, scholars, researchers and individuals, to contribute to the elaboration of numerous solutions. In addition to learning from their efforts and efforts in other regions, interested parties can promote a new water and environmental ethic, educate the broad population and facilitate discussion.

Investigating the immune and cytotoxic responses of mast and lung epithelial cells to engineered nanoparticles
Creators: name: Elbaz, Abdulkareem
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The applications for engineered nanoparticles have increased dramatically in recent years. They have been introduced into the industrial, electrical, agricultural, pharmaceutical and medical fields due to their unique properties. To date, zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely used in a number of commercial products such as cosmetics and sunscreens, due to their broad UV absorption characteristics, which protect the skin from sunburn and skin cancer. In the biomedical domain, biodegradable chitosan NPs have been assembled to carry medical compounds and genes as a vaccine delivery vector. However, currently there is limited understanding of how these nanomaterials interact with the cellular immune system, and what their potential impacts on human health might be. This study investigates the possible health risks associated with the application of inorganic ZnO and TiO2 NPs, as well as their in vitro cytotoxicity, inflammatory and allergic immune responses using mast cells and lung epithelial cells. This study also investigates the role of the various structural properties (size, wall thickness and porosity) of organic chitosan nanocapsules in drug delivery. The findings from this study will provide valuable information on how size and dispersion of NPs can play major roles in cytotoxicity and immune responses. These discoveries will also impact considerable on the development of new nanomaterials with lower toxicity, immunogenicity and greater therapeutic potential.

Inhibiting economic coercion by groups: an examination of the economic torts and anti-secondary boycott laws in Australia
Creators: name: Goodwin, David
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 480605
subject: Tort law

description: This thesis explores legal boundaries restricting economic coercion, by persons in groups and by groups acting in concert. When groups take collective action targeted at another party there is potential for considerable damage to be inflicted. What forms of coercion should the law allow, what justifications are advanced for conduct and by what means should the ambit of prohibitions be confined? The issues are studied within the context of the private political contest between activist groups such as environmental NGOs, and for-profit corporations. The boundaries of permissible conduct have historically been defined by the rules of common law economic torts - causing loss by unlawful means, conspiracy, intimidation and inducing breach of contract – and in more recent times by statutory interventions by Parliaments, including limitations on boycott conduct under competition laws. Through doctrinal research and analysis of judicial opinions, the current settings of the laws in these areas, as they apply in Australia, are examined. The study takes account of normative and policy considerations, including the advances that have occurred in the practice and effectiveness of modern-day activism. It addresses the challenge of setting defensible legal compromises in situations where there are conflicts between competing rights and priorities. The study outlines modifications and adaptations of existing rules that may be considered by lawmakers in order to improve the coherence of long-established legal doctrines, while enhancing societal welfare.

description: Zukunftsfähige Architektur bedeutet unter anderem, die Suffizienz und Robustheit im Planungsprozess von Gebäuden in den Mittelpunkt zu rücken. Dieses Paper stellt ein Kindergartenprojekt in der Stadt Bremen vor, für das ein Energiekonzept entwickelt wurde, das sich primär auf die passive Funktionalität der Architektur fokussiert; Technische Komponenten werden ergänzt, wenn sinnvoll und notwendig. Um Lösungen zu evaluieren, wurden dynamische Simulationsverfahren zur Quantifizierung der Umwelteinflüsse herangezogen. Die Methodik berücksichtigt thermische und hygrische Simulationen mittels der Simulationsumgebung TRNSYS in Kombination mit Luftströmungssimulationen auf Basis von TRNFLOW. In ständiger Wechselwirkung mit der Architektur wurde das Gebäude hinsichtlich der baulichen CO2-Emissionen optimiert. Beispielsweise wurde anvisiert die Erdarbeiten für die Energieversorgung minimal zu halten. In einem letzten Schritt wurde auch der betriebswirtschaftliche Aspekt dreier Energieversorgungsalternativen untersucht und gegenübergestellt. Der thermische und hygrische Komfort wird mittels optimierter Luftströmung und feuchteaktiver Innenbauteile optimiert. Der Leistungsbedarf der Energieversorgung wird unter Einhaltung der Komfortwerte um ca. 50% in Relation zu klassischen Auslegungsverfahren reduziert.

Evaluating a centralized clustering model for small-medium scale farmers in Fiji
Creators: name: Taulealea, Sully
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Market failure, inconsistency and fluctuation have been some of the challenges facing small-medium scale farmers (SMFs) in Fiji. Past records show that major government and privately driven marketing projects have failed to achieve long-term sustainability. This thesis takes into account these shortcomings and proposes an alternative framework based on the ideology of clustering, which has been shown to be successful in other countries.

The research employed a qualitative phenomenological approach. It involved indepth interviews with 34 stakeholders in Fiji, namely; hoteliers, academics, Ministry of Agriculture employees, and representatives from private organizations. The results showed that participants valued quality, efficiency, monetary benefits and culture as core issues surrounding the acceptance of the model. According to participants, quality entailed a holistic approach incorporating pre-planting, post-harvesting and marketing phases; efficiency focussed on the turn-over time in the production process; monetary benefits included economic returns and ownership; while culture emphasized the importance of the communalistic behaviour of “solesolevaki” in traditional society, and how this could be consolidated in a market-driven environment. A refined CCM is proposed based on this feedback.

This research is useful for policy makers and project developers in the agriculture sector. In addition it would be useful to aspiring groups of SMFs at the provincial and divisional level in Fiji. This study also provides additional literature on the ideology of clustering SMFs in the Fijian context through the proposed model.

Creative embroidery in New South Wales, 1960 - 1975
Creators: name: Wood, Susan
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: In the years between 1960 and 1975 in NSW there emerged a loosely connected network of women interested in modern or creative embroidery. The Embroiderers' Guild of NSW served as a focus for many of these women, providing opportunities for them to exhibit their work, and to engage in embroidery education as teachers or as learners. Others worked independently, exhibited in commercial galleries and endeavoured to establish reputations as professional artists. Some of these women were trained artists and wanted embroidery to be seen as 'art'; others were enthusiastic amateurs, engaged in embroidery as a form of 'serious leisure'. They played a significant role in the development of creative embroidery and textile art in NSW and yet, for the most part, their story is absent from the narratives of Australian art and craft history. These women were involved in a network of interactio ns which displayed many of the characteristics of more organised art worlds, as posited by sociologist Howard Becker. They produced work according to shared conventions, they established co-operative links with each other and with other organisations, they organised educational opportunities to encourage others to take up creative embroidery and they mounted exhibitions to facilitate engagement with a public audience. Although their absence from the literature suggests that they operated in isolation, my research indicates that there were many points of contact between the embroidery world, the broader craft world and the fine art community in NSW. This thesis examines the context in which creative embroiderers worked, discusses the careers of key individuals working at this time, explores the interactions between them, and evaluates the influence that they had on later practice in embroidery and textiles in NSW.

description: National Space Plasma Interactions Unit (N-SPI-U) at NRIAG, EGYPT has been constructed five years ago to investigate the spacecraft charging/discharging phenomena under the effect of the ambient plasma environment in LEO. This is the first time to initiate such tests in Egypt which are very important for the ambitious Egyptian Space Program. Argon gas is used to generate plasma for simulating the plasma properties. The application of this plasma flowing gives the threshold in voltage and current at which potential the current is cut off in the connector. The effect of the plasma on different aluminum alloys (Al-6061, Al-7075, Al-2024) is considered, and results shown that the material deformation and surface degradation can be occurred due to discharge of the ambient plasma and the arc current. In addition we tested the arc and degradation occurred on solar array besides its electric performance after the effects of space plasma.The performance of Si solar cells as a consequence of exposure to LEO plasma environment are investigated. The operating point of the filament of the source is 13 A at 5 V. The potential difference between the filament and the surrounding anode is 450 V and the flowing current is 0.5 A. Diagnostic tools such as Longmuir probe, spectrophotometer and CCD camera are used to describe the plasma properties. Six square shaped Si cells samples of side length of 1cm are supported on a holder located inside the chamber. Three of them are back- connected to a power supply of -100 V, while the others are unbiased. Si solar cells (biased and unbiased) are exposed to the simulated plasma fluency for different times up to 14 h and their alternating current (AC) properties are measured. The results shown the shift of the junction profile toward the front surface and the decreasing in resistance of cell series. However, decreasing of a parasitic Schottky barrier between the front surface and metal grid indicate that, The exposure of the cells after simulated LEO plasma caused a structural change in the diffused donor layer, leading to an increase in the number of electrically active doping atoms.

description: This work examines a symmetry-protected bound state in the continuum (BIC) supported unique all-dielectric dome-shaped metasurface (MS). The simple unit MS is made up of four dome-shaped nanobars of silicon in the top layer and silica glass as the substrate. Two strong transmission dips denoted as an electric dipole (ED) and magnetic dipole (MD) quasi-BIC with a high Q-factor that surpasses the value of 104 are observed after the symmetry between the nanobars is broken by a small angle from their initial position. A crossover between the ED and MD resonances is noticed when the periodicity of the MS is changed in the y direction. In addition, transmission spectra show the avoided-crossing phenomenon of dipole quasi-BIC resonances when the superstrate's refractive index (RI) is reduced from its initial value. Other widely used dielectric materials are additionally employed in dome-shaped nanobars to evaluate their performances in terms of sharpness and near-zero transmission. Moreover, Other forms of symmetry breakdown such as diagonal width and length asymmetry have been investigated for their impact on the Q-factor. Finally, we have demonstrated two significant applications, including refractometric glucose sensing and third harmonic generation (THG). Our dome-shaped MS is roughly 300 times more efficient at generating third harmonics than a flat rectangular silicon film MS. Our proposed BIC and q-BIC-facilitated MS may provide a method for enhancing the functionality of biological sensors, multimodal lasing, optical switches, and nonlinear optics.

Optical tracking control of a differentially-driven wheeled robot
Creators: name: YEO, LOREN CHEE WUI
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Mobile robotics has become an increasingly ubiquitous technology in modern times. A typical example is the wheeled mobile robot (WMR). In order for a WMR to function effectively, it must demonstrate excellent tracking control and localisation capabilities. This is achieved by having accurate and responsive control algorithms as well as high-precision sensor systems. However, this often requires complicated algorithms and expensive equipment.

This thesis proposes a system to show that good tracking performance can be achieved with moderately simple control algorithm and relatively inexpensive hardware. The platform used in this research was a differentially-driven wheeled robot constructed using the Lego MindstormsNXT system. Positional tracking was provided by two Avago optical laser sensors commonly found on the computer mouse. The main programming environments were MATLAB and Simulink, along with several other open-source applications.

In the first part of the thesis, a PID-based system is presented along with the two control schemes. The first is a purely kinematic model and the second includes dynamic constraints. For both versions, a cascaded PID design was employed and settings were manually tuned. The final mathematical models were computationally simulated and their respective results were analysed and compared. Hardware validation was not conducted for this phase of the research as the simulation results suggested that the PID-based system may not produce the desired level of tracking performance.

The second part of the thesis explores a model reference adaptive control system. Lyapunov's direct method was used to achieve stability and convergence in the system. In contrast to the PID-based model, a vastly more accurate geometric localisation technique was applied. The research identified a number of shortcomings in current geometric localisation methods and suggested ways to mitigate them. In addition, a novel approach for detecting faulty sensor readings was introduced in conjunction with the development of a semi-redundant system.

The eventual theoretical model was tested using computer simulation, and the outcome was contrasted with the results of the PID-based system. This was followed by the construction of a prototype in order to verify the validity of the proposed model. Various configurations of the adaptive model were tested and compared: the two localisation methods, use of single and dual sensors, and application of semi-redundancy.

The thesis concludes with the analysis of results of the prototype testing. The theoretical propositions in the thesis were shown to be amply validated. Suggestions for future research work are also presented.

This approach moves iteratively from the fragmented and relational qualities of the online network, the Korsakow authoring software, the essay film, and the list as ways of making interactive nonfiction, to ecocriticism as a way to understand what this practice does. I See You, Grey Skies/Blue Skies, Sunny, Rainy, Foggy, and Sometimes I See Palm Trees, as the creative components of this research, compose the world in fragments and soft relations which respond to multilinearity as a specific quality of the online network.

After developing a practice of listing to notice the unnoticed I find the ways ecocriticism and posthumanism think about the world as appropriate lenses to understand the projects I have made. I see particular affinities between how these fields think about the world as indeterminate and my own fragmented and relational practice. The understanding which culminates through applying these evocative lenses is a non-narrative audiovisual nonfiction practice which composes the world in fragments and soft multiple relations. I propose this practice thinks about and senses the world ecocritically.

description: Nowadays, Microchannel Plate (MCP), as a kind of electron multipliers based on the secondary electron emission, is widely used in many high-sensitive experiments, such as neutrino detection, which require the noise to be as low as possible, while the conventional straight-channel MCP will inevitably have ion feedback, resulting in the sequential after-pulses being the major source of noise. Normally, the problem can be effectively avoided by coupling two straight-channel MCPs in cascade and combining the channels into a `V` shape known as chevron MCPs, but this method is limited by the manufacturing techniques due to the unavoidable gap between the two pieces that will worsen the resolution and peak-to-valley ratio. However, the ion feedback can be inhibited significantly for MCPs with curved channels. Based on Geant4, we investigate how the geometrical parameters of curved-channel MCP influence the gain and get the optimum pore diameter for an MCP to reach the maximum gain with fixed thickness and applied voltage. Additionally, the track-by-track simulation reveals that the average acceleration distance of a secondary electron inside the curved-channel is approximately 20 um when the applied voltage, length-to-diameter ratio and pore diameter are 950 V, 50:1 and 20 um, respectively.

description: Data integration is considered a classic research field and a pressing need within the information science community. Ontologies play a critical role in such a process by providing well-consolidated support to link and semantically integrate datasets via interoperability. This paper approaches data integration from an application perspective, looking at techniques based on ontology matching. An ontology-based process may only be considered adequate by assuming manual matching of different sources of information. However, since the approach becomes unrealistic once the system scales up, automation of the matching process becomes a compelling need. Therefore, we have conducted experiments on actual data with the support of existing tools for automatic ontology matching from the scientific community. Even considering a relatively simple case study (i.e., the spatio-temporal alignment of global indicators), outcomes clearly show significant uncertainty resulting from errors and inaccuracies along the automated matching process. More concretely, this paper aims to test on real-world data a bottom-up knowledge-building approach, discuss the lessons learned from the experimental results of the case study, and draw conclusions about uncertainty and uncertainty management in an automated ontology matching process. While the most common evaluation metrics clearly demonstrate the unreliability of fully automated matching solutions, properly designed semi-supervised approaches seem to be mature for a more generalized application.

description: We analyze the generation of spin-squeezed states via coupling of three-level atoms to an optical cavity and continuous quantum measurement of the transmitted cavity field in order to monitor the evolution of the atomic ensemble. Using analytical treatment and microscopic simulations of the dynamics, we show that one can achieve significant spin squeezing, favorably scaling with the number of atoms $N$. However, contrary to some previous literature, we clarify that it is not possible to obtain Heisenberg scaling without the continuous feedback that is proposed in optimal approaches. In fact, in the adiabatic cavity removal approximation and large $N$ limit, we find the scaling behavior $N^{-2/3}$ for spin squeezing and $N^{-1/3}$ for the corresponding protocol duration. These results can be obtained only by considering the curvature of the Bloch sphere, since linearizing the collective spin operators tangentially to its equator yields inaccurate predictions. With full simulations, we characterize how spin-squeezing generation depends on the system parameters and departs from the bad cavity regime, by gradually mixing with cavity-filling dynamics until metrological advantage is lost. Finally, we discuss the relevance of this spin-squeezing protocol to state-of-the-art optical clocks.

title: Griechisch-römisches Religionsverständnis und Mysterienkulte als Bausteine der christlichen Religion
Creators: name: Ortner, Max
Year: 2009

description: In der gegenständlichen Arbeit wird der Nachweis versucht, dass das Christentum als Religion, deren theologische Reflexionsmodelle und Rituale (Liturgie) sowie Fröm¬mig-keitsformen im zeitlich-räumlichen Kontext ihre Genese und dogmatisch-orga¬ni¬sa¬¬to-rische Festigung maßgeblich (auch) von den antiken Religionen und insbeson¬de¬re von den hellenistisch transformierten Mysterienkulten mitgeprägt wurden. Schwerpunktmäßige Themenbereiche sind: Mysterienkulte und Trinität, Mysterien¬kulte und Eucharistie und die Marianisierung des Christentums als Erbe werden der grie-chisch-römisch-hellenistischen Göttin- und ihr Heros-Vorstellung. Dies soll exem¬¬pla-risch am Kybele-Attis-Kult demonstriert werden. Daneben wird kurz auf mögliche Einflüsse der hellenistisch-orientalischen Myste¬rien¬-kulte auf bestimmte Ritualformen des Islam, insbesondere des Schiitismus (Sufis¬mus, Aschura) eingegangen. Das Erkenntnisinteresse impliziert gegenständlich das Verstehen-wollen geschicht¬li¬cher Ereignisse und religiös-kultureller Transformationsprozesse, basierend auf den Reflexionsmodellen und Handlungsmotivationen der jeweiligen Protagonisten und wir-kungs¬geschichtlichen Folgen. Neben offenzulegenden Erkenntnisinteressen ist der vor-liegenden Arbeit in methodischer Hinsicht das ideologiekritische Moment in¬härent, so-dass das methodische und interpretative Vorgehen sowohl der Hermeneutik Hans-Georg Gadamers als auch der ideologiekritischen Verstehenslehre Jürgen Habermas‘ verpflichtet. Durch das Wissen, dass in beiden hermeneutischen Syste¬men die Wahrheitsfrage nicht releviert wird, kann auch die Gefahr einer allfälligen In-eins-Setzung von wirkungs-geschichtlich Erkennbarem und Wahrheit von vorn¬her¬ein gebannt werden. Denn es zeigt sich auch im behandelten Themenbereich, dass sich erst in der Wir-kungsgeschichte in der Regel der eigentliche und vollere Sinn von Geschehen¬dem und diskursiven Reflexionen entfaltet. Aufgrund dieser Methoden¬wahl besteht auch die nach¬prüfbare Möglichkeit, im wir¬kungsgeschichtlichen Hori¬zont gegebene und sehr häu¬fig systematisch verzerrte Kommunikationen (ideologi¬sche Verschleierung) zu de-chiffrieren. Diesem methodi¬schen Verstehenssystem liegt der Grundsatz des sogenann-ten hermeneutischen Zirkels zugrunde, darin bestehend, dass das Einzelne im Ganzen und das Ganze aus dem Einzelnen zu verstehen ist. Im Rahmen dieser hermeneutischen Dialektik erhält auch das Vorurteil als geschichtlich überkommenes und noch nicht reflektiertes Vorverständnis positive Bedeutung.

description: The multi planet system HR8799 is the first target observed with MIRI's coronagraphs as part of the MIRI-EC Guaranteed Time Observations exoplanets programme in Nov. 2022. We obtained deep observations in three coronagraphic filters from 10 to 15mic (F1065C, F1140C, F1550C), and one standard imaging filter at 20 mic (F2100W), with the goal to extract the photometry of the four planets, as well as to detect and investigate the distribution of circumstellar dust. Using dedicated observations of a reference star, we tested several algorithms to subtract the stellar diffraction pattern while preserving the fluxes of planets, which can be significantly affected by over-subtraction. Measuring correctly the planet's flux values requires accounting for the attenuation by the coronagraphs as a function of their position, and to estimate the normalisation with respect to the central star. We tested several procedures to derive averaged photometric values and error bars. These observations have enabled us to obtain two main results. First of all, the four planets in the system are well recovered, and their mid-IR fluxes, combined with near-IR flux values from the literature, are compared to two exoplanet atmosphere models, ATMO and Exo-REM. As a main outcome, the MIRI photometric data points imply larger radii (0.86 or 1.07 RJ for planet b) and cooler temperatures (950 or 1100 K for planet b), especially for planet b, in better agreement with evolutionary models. Second of all, these JWST/MIRI coronagraphic data also deliver the first spatially resolved detection of the inner warm debris disk, the radius of which is constrained to about 15 au, with flux densities comparable, but lower than former unresolved spectroscopic measurements with Spitzer. abridged...

description: The solution of Bethe ansatz equations for XXZ spin chain with the parameter $q$ being a root of unity is infamously subtle. In this work, we develop the rational $Q$-system for this case, which offers a systematic way to find all physical solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations at root of unity. The construction contains two parts. In the first part, we impose additional constraints to the rational $Q$-system. These constraints eliminate the so-called Fabricius-McCoy (FM) string solutions, yielding all primitive solutions. In the second part, we give a simple procedure to construct the descendant tower of any given primitive state. The primitive solutions together with their descendant towers constitute the complete Hilbert space. We test our proposal by extensive numerical checks and apply it to compute the torus partition function of the 6-vertex model at root of unity.
