description: In the middle part of the last decade the authors observed a downward trend in the number of students choosing electrical engineering courses in Victoria. This trend was evident across all of the engineering disciplines in Victoria. This trend was exacerbated over the past decade by a reduced number of students studying engineering pre-requisite and enabling subjects at year 12. This result combined with the fact that the national demand for engineers exceeded graduate supply, led to a shortage of engineers. The report by King (2008) into the supply of engineers for the 21st century made a number of recommendations relating to an attempt to increase the supply of engineers. This paper discusses some strategies for improving the awareness of engineering as a career amongst the secondary school student population. How can the introduction of engineering experiences through Physics in secondary schools improve the interest in engineering careers? Note the word 'Physics' refers to Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) subject. A group of Swinburne academics engaged with a number of VCE Physics teachers to collaborate and determine a suitable approach to improve the awareness of studying engineering at University. A number of discussions and a consultative debate led to the development of a learning resource kit. The VCE teaching staff using the kits were then surveyed to determine their effectiveness. The kits are being used in a number of secondary schools. As the study is not finalised, we anticipate that the results will show that this strategy is effective. This is backed up by the positive feedback from the VCE physics teachers as well as the survey results of the teacher's opinions. The learning resource kit has contributed to increasing the awareness of the connection between electronics and physics, by providing VCE physics teachers and students with what we consider to be excellent resource to facilitate an exciting and interesting approach to learning Further Electronics. We believe that this activity has encouraged more students to consider studying electronic engineering at University. We have shown a model which we believe is successful in improving the pathways to engineering from secondary schools using a 'hands-on' activity as the motivator. We recommend that Engineering staff in Universities should develop similar partnerships with physics teachers to increase the students' awareness of engineering as a possible career choice and thereby improve the pathway. On the whole the project has achieved the majority of its aims well or very well and some aims partially.

description: The rapid growth of cloud deployments has made them foundational to modern com-puting infrastructure, enabling unprecedented scalability, flexibility, and resource sharing.However, traditional general-purpose CPUs are burdened with managing critical infrastruc-ture functions such as storage, security, and networking. SmartNICs have emerged as atransformative technology, integrating specialized processing cores and accelerators directlyon NIC hardware to offload and accelerate these essential functions. By handling complextasks at line speed, SmartNICs enhance throughput, reduce latency, and alleviate CPUload, effectively addressing the limitations of conventional NICs in cloud environments. Thiswork explores the offloading of NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) functionality to SmartNICs,investigating the performance implications of hardware-accelerated storage management.The experimental approach of this study leverages SmartNIC technology to measureperformance metrics directly indicative of CPU efficiency, including CPU interrupts, contextswitches, and I/O throughput, which demonstrate improved performance through offload-ing. To investigate if these metrics indicate real-world performance gains for the CPU, thisstudy benchmarks two database applications, PostgreSQL and MongoDB, and the CPUperformance is measured using completed database transactions and average latency per op-eration. By comparing the offloaded and non-offloaded configurations, the increase in CPUefficiency due to SmartNIC offloading in distributed storage infrastructures is quantified.The number of database operations rises by at least 20% in the least efficient case, with acorresponding decrease of 10% in database transaction latency when the operations are of-floaded. These results highlight the potential of SmartNICs in improving CPU performance,reducing transaction latency, and maximizing resource utilization, ultimately demonstratingtheir transformative impact on scalability and performance in modern cloud-native infras-tructure. This study contributes to understanding the feasibility and benefits of SmartNICdeployment for NVMe-oF in cloud infrastructures, providing valuable insights into futurecloud optimization strategies

The aim of the experiment was to check the effect of lime stress conditions on chlorosis, grape yield, technological parameters and stilbene (resveratrol, piceid, piceatannol, ε-viniferin) concentrations in grapes. Lime-induced chlorosis decreased grape yield per plant to a very high extent, as a result of a reduction of cluster and berry size. Technological grape parameters such as soluble solids, pH, anthocyanins, increased under lime stress over the control, whilst titratable acidity was not affected. All the tested stilbenes, being stress compounds, increased in the grapes of chlorotic vines.

description: This study analyzes the language employed by Kompas, Republika, Media Indonesia, and Jawa Pos regarding the relocation of Indonesia’s capital city, focusing on attitude, graduation, and engagement. Eight online texts were analyzed using discourse analysis. This paper used systemic functional linguistics as a tool to analyze the texts. The findings revealed a predominance of positive attitude data (67.2% positive, 32.8% negative), predominantly heterogloss in engagement (91.8% heterogloss, 8.2% monogloss), and a majority of raising/sharpening graduation data (75.1% raising/sharpening, 24.9% lowering/softening). This disparity between positive and negative appraisal data signifies significant and contentious issues the government, community leaders, and the general public face concerning the capital city’s relocation. The results of news outlets analysis demonstrated how ideological orientations shape the construction of social and political values, influencing public beliefs and perceptions of the capital relocation project in Indonesia.

Prototype of an intervention strategy with a focus on mathematics support for first year Civil Engineering students 'at risk'

description: Retention strategies are vital for universities to compete successfully in a deregulated market, as new cohorts of first year Engineering students not only struggle with the new environments, but also may be less prepared in prerequisite areas such as mathematics. In this environment, it is now each university's responsibility towards enrolled students to provide support structures to engage them and to give them a chance to successfully complete their degree. The Faculty of Engineering & Industrial Sciences at Swinburne University of Technology has experienced the second highest growth rate across all first year Engineering enrolments in Australia this year. To retain these students, an Engagement and Retention strategy is being developed with academic focus on mathematics support. This preliminary study includes an intake of Civil Engineering students enrolled in the first year first semester linear Algebra and Calculus Engineering mathematics subject. We report on preliminary outcomes of our investigation into how effective the current retention strategy is, to inform a new Intervention Strategy. We ask the questions: How do we identify students at risk? and Are students who should be, using the services we are offering? Data available is the number of student visits of the dedicated Mathematics Help centre (MASH), use of online MathsCasts videos created specifically for this cohort of students, and records of individual appointments to assist students to manage their study plan. This data is analysed and matched with the students' scores on major assessment items throughout the semester to find out how students have interacted with available academic support services and what impact this interaction has had on student performance and retention. As we expected, while the support services are used by many students successfully, others do not seek help when they should. Students who are failing are not engaging sufficiently with the available support. These students appear to be entering the university in the lower range of entry scores, they come from alternative pathways, or are repeating the subject. We suggest criteria to identify students at risk, and the prototype of the new Intervention Strategy. To be successful an Intervention Strategy needs to be implemented in the students first semester at critical points in the curriculum to ensure maximum benefit to the student. The proposed strategy is at conceptual stage and will be trialled and enhanced in a future semester.

description: The idea of integrating users into a co-design process as part of a mass customization strategy is a promising approach for companies being forced to react to the growing individualization of demand. Compared to the rather huge amount of literature on manufacturing and information systems for mass customization, only little research discusses the role of the customer within the co-design process. Customers face new uncertainties and risks, coined "mass confusion" in this paper, when acting as co-designers. Building on a construction strategy of empirical management research in the form of six case studies, we propose the use of online communities for collaborative customer co-design in order to reduce the mass confusion phenomenon.

description: Two studies (storage and challenge tests) investigated the microbial shelf life combined with a semi-quantitative determination of volatile compounds of cloudy apple juices after power ultrasound (US) treatment. The sublethal injury of spoiler yeasts (Candida parapsilosis and Rhodotorula glutinis) was also evaluated. The maximum effect of sonication was observed 14 days post-treatment in both tests, especially on psychrotrophic count. Sublethal injury occurred only in C. parapsilosis. Microbiological data estimated the shelf life of sonicated juices to be around 21 days. The typical aroma compounds of the raw juices decreased quickly in control samples compared with sonicated ones. The flavor stability provided by US treatment seemed to be maintained for at least the first 14 days of cold storage. The US affected the shelf life of raw apple juices, probably due to yeast sublethal stress; some specific aroma compounds could be used as freshness or treatment markers.

description: The uniform microporous organic polymer (MOP) was obtained in one-pot and one-step polymerization process through Schiff base chemistry under thermal conditions. The obtained anthraquinone–melamine based MOP (AM-MOP) displays high surface area (215 m2/g). AM-MOP was manually filled into a column with high pressure and used as packing material in the high-performance liquid chromatographic applications. The analysis of compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, flavonoids, and phenolic acids was performed to display a possible application by using AM-MOP packed column. Compared to the commercial columns, AM-MOP exhibits better selectivity factor and column efficiency arising from its strong π–π interaction activity. Furthermore, it has similar solvent uptake in both polar and nonpolar media, which explains good compatibility of the material with all mobile phases, from acetonitrile to methanol and water.

description: A bench-scale pure moving bed bioreactor-membrane bioreactor (MBBR-MBR) used for the treatment of urban wastewater was analyzed for the identification of bacterial strains with the potential capacity for calcium carbonate and struvite biomineral formation. Isolation of mineral-forming strains on calcium carbonate and struvite media revealed six major colonies with a carbonate or struvite precipitation capacity in the biofouling on the membrane surface and showed that heterotrophic bacteria with the ability to precipitate calcium carbonate and struvite constituted ~7.5% of the total platable bacteria. These belonged to the genera Lysinibacillus, Trichococcus, Comamomas and Bacillus. Pyrosequencing analysis of the microbial communities in the suspended cells and membrane biofouling showed a high degree of similarity in all the samples collected with respect to bacterial assemblage. The study of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) identified through pyrosequencing suggested that ~21% of the total bacterial community identified in the biofouling could potentially form calcium carbonate or struvite crystals in the pure MBBR-MBR system used for the treatment of urban wastewater.

title: Abelian lattice gauge theories in three dimensions
Creators: name: Mariani, Alessandro
Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: 530 Physics

description: Lattice gauge theories in three spacetime dimensions are relevant for condensed matter
physics, but also as a testbed for ideas in particle physics. Here we focus on pure gauge theories
without matter, which, especially in the Abelian case, are often thought to be less interesting; in
this work we hope to demonstrate that they display a very rich physics.
The first theory that we consider is the non-compact integer-valued gauge theory whose
gauge group is Z. This is relevant for the study of vortices, topological excitations which are
found in superfluids. We consider the problem of their construction in a fully quantum theory.
Our novel result is the numerical calculation of a set of critical exponents associated to the
vortices as well as the demonstration that they obey a simple scaling relation.
We then consider the compact gauge theory whose gauge group is U(1). We review the
well-known literature on this topic, as well as the celebrated proof of confinement in this theory.
Our novel contribution is the numerical calculation of its equation of state at finite temperature.
It allows us to probe the spectrum of the theory and discuss some of the peculiar features of
confinement in this theory, such as the existence of inequivalent length scales as well as its
effective description as a scalar theory.
Finally, we consider a novel modification of the U(1) gauge theory which can be constructed
by introducing a topological angle α. This is most natural in the Hamiltonian formalism. We
compute several quantities in the case α = π, and show that this theory displays quite unusual
properties for a gauge theory, such as a broken Z2 symmetry in the continuum limit as well as
fractionalized flux strings.

Global sociology of computing speed: race for the fastest supercomputers
Creators: name: Uzun Weidner, Nil
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Twice a year, the Top500 list ranks the world’s fastest 500 computers and the nation-states in which they operate. These “supercomputers” outperform the storage capacity and processing speed of personal computers by multiple orders of magnitude. Designed, built, and operated for large-scale simulations and the analysis of complex systems, supercomputers are a crucial element of scientific computing, from medical imaging, genome sequencing, and molecular dynamics, to nuclear weapons research, climate modeling, and astrophysical simulations. Governments invest hundreds of millions of dollars in supercomputer research every year, and the leading universities and research centers building and hosting these machines are competing fiercely for a position on the Top500 list. Meanwhile, in the background, there has been an extensive debate about the temporal fabric of life exponentially getting faster and faster due to technological change, where technology is mainly understood as computers. Consequently, scholarly and journalistic works on technological speed-up and acceleration are ever-increasing. However, the global political dimension of computing speed escapes these accounts on multiple occasions. Also, global technology races as an analytical category have not attracted much sociological attention other than as particular historical events or contextual backdrops like the space race or the vaccine race. Digitalization, datafication, and computerization opened up new areas of inquiry in social sciences but works focusing on computing speed are almost non-existent. The scholarly literature within which the investigation of computing speed can be located is rich, however, there is still a lack of interdisciplinary works to analyze complex, multilayered, and connected global technoscientific temporalities. This dissertation initiates a dialogue by bringing the sociology of speed, STS, and global sociology together and proposes a framework for global sociology of computing. By focusing on the empirical case of supercomputing, it brings forth the global mediations that connect and constrain the material and discursive processes of producing, circulating, and exchanging computing speed, and it offers a perspective to understand the broader category of technoscientific speed as a resource in the form of geopolitical, technoscientific, economic, social, cultural, and symbolic capital.
Invention or transformation: tradition in the contemporary world
Creators: name: Ballantyne, Glenda
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Interest in the fate of tradition in modernity has emerged as a central concern in recent social theory. Prominent analyses have pointed to contemporary processes of detraditionalisation, and in some cases retraditionalisation, particularly in the realm of personal relationships, and of ‘the invention of tradition’, especially in connection with nationalist and ethnic movements. The ongoing presence and influence of tradition in modernity is also a central theme within the emerging paradigm of ‘multiple modernities’. For this increasingly influential perspective, however, the significance accorded to the presence of tradition in modernity has a markedly different basis. The traditions it is concerned with are those which define civilisations, and its central claim is that diverse civilisational traditions shape modern constellations and coconstitute multiple forms of modernity. In this paper, I suggest that the multiple modernities perspective’s broader frame of reference and distinctive conceptual framework provide important background to all debates around the operation of tradition in modernity. In the limited space available, I make this case in relation to the idea of the invention of tradition. An analysis of the underlying premises of the two approaches suggests that the multiple modernities perspective can shed new light the phenomena referred to as the invention of tradition, and bring to the fore aspects of the influence of tradition that it tends to obscure.

Training on multiple sub-flows to optimise the use of Machine Learning classifiers in real-world IP networks

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Literature on the use of machine learning (ML) algorithms for classifying IP traffic has relied on full-flows or the first few packets of flows. In contrast, many real-world scenarios require a classification decision well before a flow has finished even if the flow's beginning is lost. This implies classification must be achieved using statistics derived from the most recent N packets taken at any arbitrary point in a flow's lifetime. We propose training the classifier on a combination of short sub-flows (extracted from full-flow examples of the target application's traffic). We demonstrate this optimisation using the naive Bayes ML algorithm, and show that our approach results in excellent performance even when classification is initiated mid-way through a flow with windows as small as 25 packets long. We suggest future use of unsupervised ML algorithms to identify optimal sub-flows for training.

description: Pollen characteristics (length, width, diameter, number of pores and stain ability), type of pollination, fruit set and number of seeds per berry of the eight Georgian autochthonous grapevine varieties Rkatsiteli, Saperavi, Gorula, Gorula no. 21, Tsulukidzis Tetra, Alexandrouli, Mujuretuli and Orbeluri Ojaleshi have been investigated. It is concluded that for fruitset of the tested hermaphrodite grapevine varieties, self-pollination plays a predominant role, but in addition crosspollination is necessary for their high fruitset.

description: The representation of mobility in literary narratives has important
implications for the cultural understanding of human movement and migration.
In this paper, we introduce novel methods for measuring the physical mobility
of literary characters through narrative space and time. We capture mobility
through geographically defined space, as well as through generic locations
such as homes, driveways, and forests. Using a dataset of over 13,000 books
published in English since 1789, we observe significant “small world” effects
in fictional narratives. Specifically, we find that fictional characters cover far
less distance than their non-fictional counterparts; the pathways covered by
fictional characters are highly formulaic and limited from a global perspective;
and fiction exhibits a distinctive semantic investment in domestic and private
places. Surprisingly, we do not find that characters’ ascribed gender has a
statistically significant effect on distance traveled, but it does influence the
semantics of domesticity.

description: Chlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (ClPAHs) have been discovered to represent ubiquitous environmental pollutants in the last decade. In the present study, sample pre-treatment and ionisation conditions associated with the gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis of ClPAHs were evaluated. The optimal pre-treatment of ambient air particulate samples was achieved using fractionation over silica gel with 10% dichloromethane in n-hexane as the eluent. The optimised condition of GC/MS with electron impact ionisation permitted analysis of all target ClPAHs. Not all target ClPAHs were detected using GC/MS with negative chemical ionisation, although this technique exhibited greater sensitivity for several of the compounds compared to electron impact ionisation. The analytical method was applied to the survey of ClPAHs in atmospheric particulate matter obtained close to an industrial site and in a standard sample of tunnel dust. Fourteen and eighteen species of ClPAHs were detected in the industrial air samples and tunnel dust, respectively, confirming the capability of the method. The compositions of ClPAHs were significantly different between air samples and tunnel dust. It suggests that alternative emission sources rather than vehicle exhaust could play a significant role in the air.

description: Using combined chromatographic methods, two asterosaponins (compounds 1 and 2), including a new compound novaeguinoside E (compound 1), and six glycosylated polyhydroxysteroids (compounds 3–8) were isolated from a methanol extract of the starfish Culcita novaeguineae. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data (1H and 13C NMR, HSQC, HMBC, 1H–1H COSY, ROESY, and HRESI-MS) and by comparison with the literature values. The new compound 1 represents the third example of asterosaponins containing the 5α-cholesta-9(1l)-en-3β,6α,20,22-tetraol aglycone. Among isolated compounds, 4–7 exhibited moderate to weak cytotoxic activities against five human cancer cell lines such as Hep-G2 (hepatoma), KB (epidermoid carcinoma), LNCaP (prostate cancer), MCF7 (breast cancer), and SK-Mel2 (melanoma).

Vine and soil-based measures of water status in a Tempranillo vineyard
Creators: name: Intrigliolo, D. S.
name: Castel, J. R.
Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2015

description: Seasonal changes of leaf and stem water potential and midday stomatal conductance (gs) of Tempranillo grapevines were determined in irrigated and non-irrigated vines in 2003 and 2004. Leaf water potential was measured at pre-dawn (Ψpd) and at midday (Ψlmd), while stem water potential was measured in the early morning (Ψsem) and at midday (Ψsmd). At Ψpd to -0.54 MPa rain-fed and irrigated vines had similar midday Ψl and Ψs. This was due to both, stomatal closure and reduction of leaf area. Under these conditions, Ψpd and Ψsem were better water stress indicators than midday Ψ. In both years a close correlation was found between Ψpd and Ψsem. However, for a given Ψpd, Ψsem of vines was lower in 2004 than in 2003. This was probably due to the larger leaf area developed by vines in 2004. Stomatal conductance reflected reasonably well differences in the vine water status but its variability was much higher than that of Ψ. Moreover, the afternoon depression of stomatal conductance observed even in irrigated plots, indicates that measuring gs early in the morning is more convenient when assessing different treatments.
