A Unified Task Priority Control Framework Design for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Creators: name: THOMAS, CRIS
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2022

description: In this thesis, we investigate the problem of bringing various behaviours of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles under a common control framework. Thereby, we propose a unified guidance and control framework for AUVs based on the task priority control approach. This incorporate various behaviors such as path following, terrain following, obstacle avoidance, as well as homing and docking to stationary and moving docking stations. The integration of homing and docking maneuvers into the task priority framework is thus a novel contribution of this thesis. This integration allows, for example, to execute homing maneuvers close to uneven seafloor or obstacles, ensuring the safety of the AUV by giving the highest priority to the safety tasks. Furthermore, the proposed approach tackles a wide range of scenarios without ad hoc solutions. Indeed, the proposed approach is well suited for both the emerging trend of resident AUVs, which stay underwater for a long period inside garage stations, exiting to perform inspection and maintenance missions and homing back to them, and for AUVs that are required to dock to moving stations such as surface vehicles, or towed docking stations. The proposed techniques are further studied in a simulation setting, taking into account the rich number of aforementioned scenarios.

description: The aim of this study is to identify potential mineral deposits beneath the Southern Benue Trough of Nigeria based on apparent density mapping technique of estimating lateral rock densities from modelled gravity data. In this study, we apply the inverse density deconvolution filter to a short-wavelength gravity component in order to estimate the rock densities for mineral exploration applications and tectonic studies at the Southern Benue Trough in Nigeria. The estimated rock densities vary between 2.50 and 2.74 g/cm3, with minimum density values assigned to volcano-sedimentary deposits along the Cameroon Volcanic Line and maximum density values in the eastern and southern parts associated with mafic igneous rocks. Our gravity and density maps reveal the geometry of dominant geological structures within the study area. The density map highlights carbonate-hosted metallic elements with varying intercalations. Some of these identified mineralized zones coincide with locations of past and present producing mines. Intermediate and mafic igneous rocks as well as highly compacted and volcano-sedimentary rocks are mapped as rock-forming minerals for a mineral exploration. Hence, the obtained model of mineral-bearing rocks mainly demonstrates mechanisms of tectonic events, patterns of deformation regimes, and mineral prospectivity map of the study area.

On the structure of globular cluster systems in elliptical galaxies
Creators: name: Bekki, K.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: It has long been known that the radial density profiles of globular cluster systems (GCSs) in elliptical galaxies vary with the total luminosities of their host galaxies. In order to elucidate the origin of this structural non-homology in GCSs, we numerically investigate the structural properties of GCSs in elliptical galaxies formed from a sequence of major dissipationless galaxy merging. We find that the radial density profiles of GCSs in elliptical galaxies become progressively flatter as the galaxies experience more major merger events. The density profiles of GCSs in ellipticals are well described as power-laws with slopes (αgc) ranging from −2.0 to −1.0. They are flatter than, and linearly proportional to, the slopes (αs) of the stellar density profiles of their host galaxies. We also find that the GCS core radii (rc) of the density profiles are larger in ellipticals that experienced more mergers. By applying a reasonable scaling relation between luminosities and sizes of galaxies to the simulation results, we show that αgc ≈ −0.36MV − 9.2, rc ≈ −1.85MV, and αgc ≈ 0.93αs, where MV is the total V-band absolute magnitude of a galaxy. We compare these predictions with observations and discuss their physical meaning. We suggest that the origin of structural non-homology of GCSs in ellipticals can be understood in terms of the growth of ellipticals via major dissipationless galaxy merging.

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: We report the use of spectrally resolved femtosecond two-color three-pulse photon echoes as a potentially powerful multidimensional technique for studying vibrational and electronic dynamics in complex molecules. The wavelengths of the pump and probe laser pulses are found to have a dramatic effect on the spectrum of the photon echo signal and can be chosen to select different sets of energy levels in the vibrational manifold, allowing a study of the dynamics and vibrational splitting in either the ground or the excited state. The technique is applied to studies of the dynamics of vibrational electronic states in the dye molecule Rhodamine 101 in methanol.

Civilians at war: William Henry Drake and the Commissariat in the Crimean War
Creators: name: Stevens, Megan
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This dissertation examines the performance of the British Commissariat during the Crimean War of 1854-56, through the documents of William Henry Drake and his wife, Louisa, for which it received much criticism. While agreeing with much historical comment and analysis that has gone before, the Drake papers cast a new light on the conduct of the Commissariat during that war. The life and career of Drake is also presented. Drake, a commissary whose career was very successful, in no way epitomises all other Commissariat officers - there were few whose careers were more successful, and most did not excel as he did. The first chapter briefly examines the history of the Commissariat prior to the Crimean War. The second looks at, with commentary from other sources, the conduct of the war, up to the fateful hurricane of 14 November 1854. The third chapter investigates the effect of the hurricane on the supply of the British Army. The fourth and final chapter explores how Drake's career was positively affected by his conduct during the war, as well as the changes wrought to the Commissariat as a result of it. The dissertation argues that the Commissariat, despite being cleared of all wrongdoing in two of the three Commissions of Inquiry held into their conduct, did indeed share in the blame for the disasters which befell the British Army during the Crimean War.
Application of Intelligent Techniques for Optimal Management of Weakly Connected Microgrids
Creators: name: PAREJO MATOS, ANTONIO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2022

description: La decarbonizzazione e la mitigazione del cambiamento climatico sono diventate una priorit� per molti Paesi e governi. Uno dei principali strumenti per realizzare questi obiettivi � la crescita delle fonti di generazione rinnovabili nel sistema elettrico, ma la loro inclusione costituisce una grande sfida per il funzionamento della rete a causa della loro alta variabilit� e il loro comportamento stocastico.
In questo contesto, la gestione del sistema elettrico e delle microgrid pu� essere trattata come un problema di ottimizzazione in cui le risorse vengono fatte funzionare con l'obiettivo di minimizzare la funzione di costo. Questa funzione di costo e le restrizioni operative corrispondenti dipendono da ogni situazione specifica, ad esempio, da quali sono i requisiti di consumo di energia, quanto � debole la connessione con la rete elettrica e quanto sono critici i carichi da alimentare nella zona. In questo senso, nonostante la grande variet� di approcci di ottimizzazione, questi hanno in comune l'importanza di contare su un sistema di previsione di alta qualit� per prevedere le incertezze della microgrid (o rete) da far funzionare. I principali approcci esistenti per prevedere le incertezze sono la previsione deterministica e stocastica (che in molti casi � anche chiamata probabilistica).
Considerando l'importanza dei sistemi di previsione per eseguire l'ottimizzazione delle microgrid e, in generale, delle reti elettriche, questa tesi di dottorato si concentra sulla progettazione di un modello di lavoro di previsione orientato alla microgrid che include una vasta gamma di approcci di previsione, che rende possibile la sua integrazione con altre applicazioni, ad esempio, sistemi di ottimizzazione della gestione dell'energia. Questo modello di lavoro include diversi metodi deterministici e stocastici ed � in grado di gestire l'addestramento e la selezione dei modelli per eseguire la previsione secondo il tipo di rappresentazione dell'incertezza che � richiesto in ogni caso.

description: Hydrogen energy technology allows the production of electricity from hydrogen and backward to store large amounts of energy by converting electricity into hydrogen, using a fuel cell, an electrolyzer, and a hydrogen storage system. The fuel cell market is increasing, offering components with improved converting performances; the expansion of this market and the spread of hydrogen system applications are bringing down the industrial costs of such technology offering new opportunities for commercial applications. This work concerns the Polymer Electrolyte Membrane technology, giving a complete overview of opportunities and problems that may arise from the employment of this type of system for maritime applications. The starting point of the analysis follows a more theoretical approach. Performance and degradation issues have been deeply investigated through thorough literature analysis, to issue the main problematics that can appear in the real operation of the PEM fuel cell system. In this context, a degradation map has been drawn, which can help the prediction of voltage degradation linked to the poisoning of the cell components. Therefore, since the external parameters that can influence the FC performance are highlighted, a statistical approach is investigated to understand how the reactants' flow rates and the thermal control can affect the performance. This has been possible thanks to the employment of the software Design Expert. In the second part of the Thesis, a more experimental approach to the thematic of PEM fuel cell systems for maritime applications is faced. This has been possible thanks to the test campaign
carried out on the HI-SEA system, a 240-kW system located in the IES Laboratory of the University of Genoa (Savona Campus), made up of eight Polymer Membrane Fuel Cell modules supplied by Nuvera. This is one of the few complete and existing real-size laboratories for the assessment of PEMFC technology for maritime applications. The laboratory activities are part of the collaboration between the University and Fincantieri, the main Italian shipbuilder. The
system has undergone a commissioning phase, which is accurately described, where previous issues are analyzed, understood, and solved to optimize the control system. Therefore, despite a prolonged inactivity time, the PEM fuel cell stacks have been reactivated thanks to a dedicated and innovative procedure. Finally, the system is fully operative: the results of the whole system operation confirm its suitability for operation in a ship-likely environment.

description: En el sector de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones, que con ocasión de la promulgación de la Ley 1341 de 2009 fue objeto de importantes modificaciones al incorporar los principios de convergencia y liberalización (Capítulo I, numeral 1.1.), el Estado ha dejado de ser un prestador directo o indirecto de los servicios para asumir tan sólo las competencias de regulación1 y de vigilancia y control. En ese escenario, en el que la prestación de servicios públicos de telecomunicaciones se ha convertido en un derecho de contenido económico de los particulares, asociado a la libertad de empresa, la política pública sectorial ha centrado su objetivo en garantizar la libre competencia a través del interfuncionamiento de los servicios y la interoperabilidad de las redes (Capítulo I, numeral 2.1.) para lo cual ha intervenido por vía regulatoria la definición; estructuración; modalidades; y, efectos de las relaciones de interconexión entre proveedores de redes y servicios de telecomunicaciones (Capítulo I, numerales 2 y 3). Al tiempo que esas relaciones se han agilizado, simplificado y asegurado en cumplimiento de los fines propuestos, han surgido también situaciones de controversia que pueden versar sobre el establecimiento; la implementación; el cumplimiento; o, el alcance de algunas de las estipulaciones incorporadas en los acuerdos que las formalizan (Capítulo II, numeral 3); controversias que era de esperarse fueran resueltas en corto tiempo en procura de la vigencia de los principios que rigen el sector, pero que en la práctica han enfrentado los proveedores en discusiones jurídicas que más allá de lo que en el fondo implican, han sido dilatadas por temas de competencia que dieron lugar a la participación de múltiples autoridades (Capítulo III, numeral 1) y ello a pesar de que la Comisión de Regulación de Comunicaciones CRC, como entidad adscrita al Ministerio de las Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones MINTIC, tiene formalmente asignada la función relativa a la solución de controversias relacionadas, entre otros asuntos, con las relaciones de interconexión; función que data del año 1994 al surgir con la expedición de la Ley 142 de 19942 y la Resolución 087 de 1997 que fue ratificada con el Decreto 1130 de 19994; consolidada además con la Ley 1341 de 20095; y, todo ello de manera coherente con lo señalado en las decisiones o resoluciones de la Comunidad Andina de Naciones CAN6 (Capítulo II, numeral 1).

Statistical methods to model and evaluate physical activity programs, using step counts: A systematic review
Creators: name: Silva, Sampathawaduge

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Background: Physical activity reduces the risk of noncommunicable diseases and is therefore an essential component of a healthy lifestyle. Regular engagement in physical activity can produce immediate and long term health benefits. However, physical activity levels are not as high as might be expected. For example, according to the global World Health Organization (WHO) 2017 statistics, more than 80% of the world’s adolescents are insufficiently physically active. In response to this problem, physical activity programs have become popular, with step counts commonly used to measure program performance. Analysing step count data and the statistical modeling of this data is therefore important for evaluating individual and program performance. This study reviews the statistical methods that are used to model and evaluate physical activity programs, using step counts. Methods: Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, this review systematically searched for relevant journal articles which were published between January 2000 and August 2017 in any of three databases (PubMed, PsycINFO and Web of Science). Only the journal articles which used a statistical model in analysing step counts for a healthy sample of participants, enrolled in an intervention involving physical exercise or a physical activity program, were included in this study. In these programs the activities considered were natural elements of everyday life rather than special activity interventions. Results: This systematic review was able to identify 78 unique articles describing statistical models for analysing step counts obtained through physical activity programs. General linear models and generalized linear models were the most popular methods used followed by multilevel models, while structural equation modeling was only used for measuring the personal and psychological factors related to step counts. Surprisingly no use was made of time series analysis for analysing step count data. The review also suggested several strategies for the personalisation of physical activity programs. Conclusions: Overall, it appears that the physical activity levels of people involved in such programs vary across individuals depending on psychosocial, demographic, weather and climatic factors. Statistical models can provide a better understanding of the impact of these factors, allowing for the provision of more personalised physical activity programs, which are expected to produce better immediate and long-term outcomes for participants. It is hoped that this review will identify the statistical methods which are most suitable for this purpose.

Experimental and analytical validation of a fastener bearing test as a means of evaluating the bracing characteristics of plasterboard
Creators: name: Liew, Y. L.

name: Duffield, C. F.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The beneficial bracing characteristics of plasterboard have recently been incorporated into Australian design standards for residential structures. There is a need to develop control procedures, commensurate with these enhanced design guidelines, to control the quality of plasterboard such that its manufactured properties conform with the bracing characteristics assumed. This paper reports the findings of a study into the adequacy of existing plasterboard quality tests as a measure of its bracing capacity. The paper also reports the development of a new test method, described herein as fastener bearing test, as an alternate quality control method for bracing capacity of plasterboard. This fastener bearing test is subsequently validated through an extensive experimental program and analytical modelling. The paper concludes that the proposed test is a reliable method to assess the bracing capacity of plasterboard. It has also established the validity of a simple closed-form mathematical approach to ascertain the lateral capacity of clad framed walls.

The Chemical Transformation of Fireworks in the 19th Century
Creators: name: BARRY THOMAS STURMAN
Publisher: name: Figshare
Year: 2017
Subjects: History

description: Fireworks originated in ancient China, and were known in Europe by the 13th century.  For many centuries fireworks remained much the same, but during the 19th century they were transformed by the introduction of a full range of colours and other novel effects. This was brought about by the application of new materials that had become available because of developments in chemistry and chemical industry in Western Europe since the middle of the 18th century.  The value of these new materials in fireworks was discovered mostly by amateur firework-makers, long before chemists could explain how the new effects were produced.

description: Esta monografía se centra en interpretar la incursión de la era digital en nuestro gobierno alrededor de renombrar una acción de gubernamental concreta, a saber el traslado electrónico de recursos de apelación. Inicia esta investigación en el primer capítulo con una retrospectiva general de la gobernabilidad propuesta y alcanzada con las estrategias de gobierno enfocadas a la era digital contempladas desde hace dos décadas. Luego se centra en la estrategia de Gobierno en Línea y sus cuatro Ejes de acción enmarcados todos en un entorno articulador entre el pasado y el presente por lo cual cada eje de la estrategia del cuatrienio anterior mira hacia el avance que se entrega para continuar en perspectiva de la nueva Política de Gobierno Digital. Cabe destacar la mención que se hará al proyecto de Ley para la modernización del sector TIC, se resaltará su ánimo simplificador lo que se considera acorde con la era digital, la cual exige un mundo funcional simplificado. Y como tercer capítulo, este trabajo monográfico hace una aproximación prudente y moderada al tema de la Seguridad de la Información, por ser un tema imprescindible, fundamental, crucial y transversal a la Política de Gobierno Digital.
Time To Play: Combining Time-Use Surveys And Census Data To Estimate Small Area Distributions Of Potentially Ict Mediated Leisure.
Creators: name: Anderson, Ben
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2007
Subjects: time use
spatial microsimulation
small area

description: There is an acknowledged need for a more locally oriented analysis of access to and usage of 'information society' services which can differentiate between patterns across relatively small geographical areas and which can support analysis of the local, individual and national factors that may be causing social, economic and digital exclusion. There is however a paucity of data and methods that can support this need. This paper reports preliminary results from the development of a method to estimate patterns of internet uptake and media time-use at small area levels (2001 Lower Layer Super Output Areas) using spatial microsimulation. The paper describes the method and provides a number of results for the Eastern region of England based on the 2000 Office for National Statistics Time-Use Survey. The paper discusses the reliability of the results, their potential value to policy makers and commercial strategists and indicates directions for future research.

The indirect influence of quasars on reionization

description: The exact role of quasars during the Epoch of Reionization remains uncertain. With consensus leaning towards quasars producing a negligible amount of ionizing photons, we pose an alternate question: Can quasars indirectly contribute to reionization by allowing ionizing photons from stars to escape more easily? Using the semi-analytic galaxy evolution model to evolve a galaxy population through cosmic time, we construct an idealized scenario in which the escape fraction of stellar ionizing photons (fesc) is boosted following quasar wind events, potentially for several dynamical times. We find that under this scenario, the mean value of fesc as a function of galaxy stellar mass peaks for intermediate mass galaxies. This mass dependence will have consequences for the 21-cm power spectrum, enhancing power at small scales and suppressing it at large scales. This hints that whilst quasars may not directly contribute to the ionizing photon budget, they could influence reionization indirectly by altering the topology of ionized regions.
A Solution for Improving Robustness in GNSS Positioning from Android Devices
Creators: name: BENVENUTO, LORENZO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2022

description: Starting with the Nougat 7.0 version of the Android Operating System released in 2016, Google has permitted direct access, via the Android development API, to the GNSS raw measurements on Android-based smartphones. This new feature opened a new research field aimed at developing low-cost applications for satellite-based positioning systems. In particular, after the publication of a white paper from the European GNSS Agency, many authors started to analyse the quality of the raw measurements retrieved from smartphones and compare them with other types of low cost GNSS devices. The main detected issues turned out to be the low quality of the GNSS observales due to the low quality of the hardware (receiver and antenna) mounted in the smartphones. Nowadays raw GNSS measurements support is mandatory on devices that run Android 10 (API level 29) or higher, but unfortunately the support for some of the raw GNSS measurement fields (e.g. pseudorange rate, ADR, AGC) is optional and can vary based on the type of GNSS chipset installed on the device. Furthermore, not all the smartphones present on the market support double frequency or multi-constellation. In this thesis we present a solution for improving the robustness of GNSS positioning in Android devices in real time, that combines an acquisition phase performed in a dedicated Android app (thus working on the edge) and a processing phase, based on a modified version of the open source library RTKLIB, performed on dedicated servers. The processing phase performed on the smartphone is aimed at cleaning,
filtering, organizing and delivering the data acquired via the GNSS raw data library. The server-side processing phase applies an improved version of the RTK library. Our version provides an additional interface for processing different format of GNSS data (in particular a new one defined for GNSS measurement from Android devices) and a method to mitigate in real-time the multipath effect on the collected data. We will focus our attention on the architecture of the proposed solution (Android endpoints and processing server), on the proposed improvement of the GNSS positioning procedure, and its implementation in our version of the RTKLIB library, and on preliminary results obtained by the resulting system.

Lacking Capitalism: Desiring Marketing In Times Of Capitalist Crisis
Creators: name: Brei, Vinícius
name: Böhm, Steffen
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2017
Subjects: critical marketing; marketing discourse; capitalism; Lacan; lack; resistance; customer needs; desires

description: In this paper we analyze the social and historical construction process of marketing, and how it is inherently linked to the reproduction of capitalism in times of crisis. Based on Foucauldian discourse theory, we critically interrogate marketing's discursive change from a production- and sales-led to a consumption-led paradigm in the 1960s and 1970s. We use Lacan's (1977, 1998) theory of individual desire as lack, and Laclau and Mouffe's (1985) logic of antagonism to discuss how the modern individual is constituted as desiring subject. Marketing acts both to produce and fulfil this lack aimed at the satisfaction of customers' needs and desires. Based on Boltanski and Chiapello's (2005) analysis, we argue that marketing plays an important role in the way capitalism is able to regenerate and legitimize itself through its capacity to incorporate critique and resistance.

description: La liberalización del sector de telecomunicaciones y los avances tecnológicos, han promovido en Colombia el ingreso de nuevos agentes al mercado, mayor competencia y alta necesidad de Espectro Radioeléctrico para la prestación de los servicios. La definición constitucional y legal del Espectro Radioeléctrico como un bien público, inenajenable e imprescriptible, lleva a que históricamente la gestión de este bien se enmarque en un modelo administrativo estático, regido por directrices de eficiencia y generación de recursos económicos para el Estado. Los impactos de la globalización de los servicios, la convergencia tecnológica, la compartición activa y pasiva de infraestructura, la implementación de modelos comerciales en la provisión de funcionalidades de emisión, transmisión o transporte y recepción de información, conllevan a una revisión del concepto de Espectro Radioeléctrico, que sirva para iniciar un proceso de liberalización de este bien y adaptarlo a un esquema basado en elementos de mercado. Con la finalidad de promover el mercado en los servicios públicos de telecomunicaciones, diferentes países han actualizado la definición jurídica del Espectro Radioeléctrico, pasando de la tesis clásica de bien escaso, a catalogarlo como un bien limitado. Este cambio se ha complementado con reformas constitucionales, expedición de leyes y transformaciones en las estructuras regulatorias, que permitieron flexibilizar las concesiones y los permisos habilitantes para el uso del Espectro, reconociendo un mercado secundario en el uso de este bien.
