description: We study the molecular beam epitaxy of rock-salt ScN on the wurtzite GaN($1\bar{1}00$) surface. To this end, ScN is grown on free-standing GaN($1\bar{1}00$) substrates and self-assembled GaN nanowires that exhibit ($1\bar{1}00$) sidewalls. On both substrates, ScN crystallizes twin-free thanks to a specific epitaxial relationship, namely ScN(110)[001]$||$GaN($1\bar{1}00$)[0001], providing a congruent, low-symmetry GaN/ScN interface. The 13.1 % uniaxial lattice mismatch occurring in this orientation mostly relaxes within the first few monolayers of growth by forming a coincidence site lattice, where 7 GaN planes coincide with 8 ScN planes, leaving the ScN surface nearly free of extended defects. Overgrowth of the ScN with GaN leads to a kinetic stabilization of the zinc blende phase, that rapidly develops wurtzite inclusions nucleating on {111} nanofacets, commonly observed during zinc blende GaN growth. Our ScN/GaN($1\bar{1}00$) platform opens a new route for the epitaxy of twin-free metal-semiconductor heterostructures made of closely lattice-matched GaN, ScN, HfN and ZrN compounds.

Shut Up and Dribble?: Debunked (Athlete Endorsements in U.S. Presidential Elections - 2016-2024)
Creators: name: Pianim, Amalie
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2025
Subjects: Athlete Endorsements, Presidential Elections, Hometown Counties, Vote Share

description: This paper examines the impact of athlete endorsements on voter behavior and electoral outcomes using data from the 2016, 2020 and 2024 U.S. Presidential Elections, specifically focusing on athletes’ influence in their hometown counties. Despite public skepticism surrounding athletes’ lack of political knowledge, research suggests endorsements from figures in sports may increase vote shares. This study compares two regressions to analyze the impact of athlete endorsements on vote share across counties. The first shows that Republican athlete endorsements slightly decrease Republican vote share, while Democratic athlete endorsements significantly increase Democratic vote share. The second, which includes interaction terms like athlete retirement status and sport type, reveals that the effects of Republican athlete endorsements vary based on these factors, while Democratic athlete endorsements consistently boost Democratic vote share. Ultimately, this paper reveals that athlete endorsements are increasingly important in shaping elections, particularly in local communities.

description: News media coverage of Indigenous Australian peoples and perspectives is often absent or, when present, unfair or shallow in context or understanding. This raises the question of how much ‐ and what kind of ‐ exposure to Indigenous knowledges and perspectives journalists-in-training receive in their university studies. To find out, this study analyses 30 unit outlines and assessment details of journalism subjects at three Australian universities. It follows this analysis with interviews of seventeen undergraduate journalism students at these universities to explore their perceptions of if and how their journalism programmes paid attention to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander topics and perspectives in the classroom setting. The results reveal that the journalism students in this sample, even those from the same university, had an uneven experience related to Indigenous knowledges and perspectives in their university journalism subjects. This testifies to the generic nature of unit outlines and learning objectives and to the broad discretionary power that individual tutors and lecturers have to shape the flow of information that is engaged with during the learning opportunities they oversee. Student recommendations for how Indigenous knowledges and perspectives could be more usefully integrated into journalism education were also gathered and reported.
Social and cultural factors that influence the uptake of E-learning: case studies in Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkey, Singapore and Australia
Creators: name: Barton, Siew
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This is a study of the influence of social and cultural factors on the adoption of e-learning in higher education in Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkey, Singapore and Australia. Particular attention in each case was given to factors relating to social capital, attitudes and patterns of behavior in leadership, entrepreneurialism, and teaching and to broader sets of attitudes that shape general outlook. A case study approach was chosen in order to enable a richer and more finely grained analysis of the issues. The case studies are based on semi-structured interviews and observations, conducted over several years.

This research shows that previously known factors that affect the adoption of e-learning in higher education, namely policy, guidelines, paradigm shifts and pedagogical change are also significant in the contexts of each of the case studies in this research. However, this research shows that the adoption and uptake of e-learning technologies is also strongly shaped by cultural and social factors but not in ways that might first have been expected. It was not so much that there are specific cultural and social factors relating to specific e-learning technologies. Rather, it is that the degree of uptake of these technologies depends on teachers being encouraged, guided and assisted to innovate and adopt new technology. This can only occur when there is sufficient social capital, mediated through appropriate social networks, to build trust, overcome objections and anxieties and generally motivate staff to engage in challenging, time-consuming initiatives in e-learning that generally do not promise immediate rewards.

Certain culture-based issues emerged as important. These included staff mentoring, clustering through ‘bamboo networking’, trust-building and overcoming fear of ‘losing face’ (kiasu), facilitating women to take the initiative and lead, developing sensitivity to cultural differences, encouraging entrepreneurialism and rewarding pioneering endeavours were present in varying degrees across all five case studies. They were subtle variations on a central theme which was clearly that of the impact of social capital as a driver. It was social capital played out through personal relationships and social networks that most strongly influenced individual teachers and teachers to be sufficiently motivated to add to an already busy schedule by taking on the additional burdens of pioneering e-learning technology and it was those social relationships that provided guidance and ongoing encouragement. As a consequence of these findings, the thesis offers a social capital model of e-learning adoption which suggests that the adoption and uptake of e-learning technologies is strongly shaped by cultural and social factors.

description: We give quantitative estimates for the rate of convergence of Riemannian stochastic gradient descent (RSGD) to Riemannian gradient flow and to a diffusion process, the so-called Riemannian stochastic modified flow (RSMF). Using tools from stochastic differential geometry we show that, in the small learning rate regime, RSGD can be approximated by the solution to the RSMF driven by an infinite-dimensional Wiener process. The RSMF accounts for the random fluctuations of RSGD and, thereby, increases the order of approximation compared to the deterministic Riemannian gradient flow. The RSGD is build using the concept of a retraction map, that is, a cost efficient approximation of the exponential map, and we prove quantitative bounds for the weak error of the diffusion approximation under assumptions on the retraction map, the geometry of the manifold, and the random estimators of the gradient.

description: The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for a variety of commercial, civilian, and defense applications has increased many folds in recent years. While UAVs are expected to transform future air operations, there are instances where they can be used for malicious purposes. In this context, the detection, classification, and tracking (DCT) of UAVs (DCT-U) for safety and surveillance of national air space is a challenging task when compared to DCT of manned aerial vehicles. In this survey, we discuss the threats and challenges from malicious UAVs and we subsequently study three radio frequency (RF)-based systems for DCT-U. These RF-based systems include radars, communication systems, and RF analyzers. Radar systems are further divided into conventional and modern radar systems, while communication systems can be used for joint communications and sensing (JC&S) in active mode and act as a source of illumination to passive radars for DCT-U. The limitations of the three RF-based systems are also provided. The survey briefly discusses non-RF systems for DCT-U and their limitations. Future directions based on the lessons learned are provided at the end of the survey.

Selvage
Creators: name: HOWARD, Michael
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The Masters project “Selvage” is interested in reconsidering the efficiency of market garden sites. The site of Werribee South, Victoria, Australia is a market garden production region on the outer fringes of Melbourne, between two major cities, Melbourne and Geelong. The site is a test ground for the reconsidering of market garden efficiency through the introduction of residential development and the reintroduction of dairy farming. The market gardens site operates as an intensively irrigated production allowing for intensive year round horticultural operations. It is these units of irrigation that drive the project investigation into efficiency.

The site is made up of irregular land titles that affect the efficiency of production. The disjuncture between these titles and the left over spaces provides opportunity for residential development and dairy farming to be explored. The project Selvage provides a range of outcomes according to the synthesis of these conditions through the irrigation unit of one hectare.

The project offers a justification through efficiency of reconsidering the relationship between zones of residential occupation and horticultural production that are currently mutually exclusive through the planning scheme. It offers a model for existing production zones and future areas for production. It doesn’t resolve issues of operation for each of the three programs used. The project suggest further questions be asked as to why these programs are separate and why production zones aren’t considered as scenic view scapes for residential development. The future of peri-urbanisation and the relationship to productive lands could be reconsidered to further value these lands.

description: Ensuring the robustness of lane detection systems is essential for the reliability of autonomous vehicles, particularly in the face of diverse weather conditions. While numerous algorithms have been proposed, addressing challenges posed by varying weather remains an ongoing issue. Geometric-based lane detection methods, rooted in the inherent properties of road geometry, provide enhanced generalizability. However, these methods often require manual parameter tuning to accommodate it fluctuating illumination and weather conditions. Conversely, learning-based approaches, trained on pre-labeled datasets, excel in localizing intricate and curved lane configurations but grapple with the absence of diverse weather datasets. This paper introduces a promising hybrid approach that merges the strengths of both methodologies. A novel adaptive preprocessing method is proposed in this work. Utilizing a fuzzy inference system (FIS), the algorithm dynamically adjusts parameters in geometric-based image processing functions and enhances adaptability to diverse weather conditions. Notably, this preprocessing algorithm is designed to seamlessly integrate with all learning-based lane detection models. When implemented in conjunction with CNN-based models, the hybrid approach demonstrates commendable generalizability across weather conditions and adaptability to complex lane configurations. Rigorous testing on datasets featuring challenging weather conditions showcases the proposed method's significant improvements over existing models, underscoring its efficacy in addressing the persistent challenges associated with lane detection in adverse weather scenarios.

Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The aim of this research is to explore the application of natural biopolymer chitosan for the purpose of incorporating fragrance oil into automotive fabrics and its antimicrobial properties relevant to automotive interior textiles. Chitosan was selected for this study for its film forming ability and inherent antimicrobial attributes. 100% polyester automotive fabrics were used in this study, as 100% polyester is predominant fibre used for automotive interior textiles. Application of strawberry fragrance oil was firstly studied on 100% polyester woven fabric treated with chitosan as a binder by pad-dry-cure process. It was concluded that the fragrance oil, due to its volatility, was not durable on the fabric. Subsequently, the application of microencapsulated strawberry fragrance oil was studied to overcome the low durability issue. The microencapsulated fragrance oil was applied to the greige, as well as finished, commercial 100% polyester automotive woven and knitted fabrics, in combination with chitosan. The treated fabrics were then assessed for smell retention. The new qualitative sensorial evaluation method was specifically developed for this study. It was concluded that application of the microencapsulated fragrance oil to the 100% polyester fabrics in combination with chitosan produced durable fragrance finish. The treated fabrics were also assessed for their antimicrobial properties. For the purpose of this evaluation a modified standard test method was designed. The assessment of the results indicated that the fabrics treated with microencapsulated fragrance oil in combination with chitosan displayed excellent antimicrobial properties. The study concluded that the use of chitosan as a binder for the application of microencapsulated fragrance oil results in high fragrance retention in 100% polyester automotive fabrics and also produces excellent antimicrobial attributes in these fabrics. Therefore, chitosan with microencapsulated fragrance oil can be utilised to develop automotive textiles to achieve the necessary antiodour and antimicrobial properties.
ICT peer coaches: techno-pedagogues of the twenty-first century
Creators: name: Ellul, Rita
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This PhD by project investigates the ICT peer coaching programmes in place in three government schools in Victoria, Australia. The increasing use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in schools has presented educators with many new challenges as they seek to maximise the potential afforded by ICT to improve student learning and get the best return on investment.

Teacher professional learning is essential in supporting teachers to improve their practice and support a culture of continuous improvement across the school. The literature review highlighted that past methods of professional learning such as one-off workshops and off-site events are less effective to enable teachers to develop both ICT skills and pedagogical knowledge needed for 21st century teaching and learning. While peer coaching is increasingly offered as a professional learning strategy in schools, very little is available which focuses on peer coaching in an ICT context and whether it effectively supports teachers to integrate ICT into their classroom practice.

This research examines whether ICT peer coaching as a professional learning strategy supports teachers’ integration of ICT into their learning and teaching programme. It uses a constructivist (naturalistic) inquiry methodology and a collective case study approach. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, observations and an analysis of artefacts such as school strategic plans and policies.

A number of key findings emerged through the study and included an additional stage to the three-stage ICT coaching cycle often found in the literature and the need for documentation by the learners, such as the development of a portfolio, to support deeper reflection on their practice. The study also identified the need for greater cohesion between the ICT peer coaching programmes and the culture, strategic planning and reform agenda in place at the school in order to align the programme to the school’s strategic goals.

The product is the teacher2teacher: ICT Peer Coaching wiki. Its purpose is to provide principals and teachers with a practical resource which provides information on ICT peer coaching and a model which would support them in establishing such a programme in their school. Templates are included and users of the wiki are invited to contribute to the resources in the spirit of online collaboration.

description: For a planar domain $Ω$, we consider the Dirichlet spaces with respect to a base point $ζ\inΩ$ and the corresponding kernel functions. It is not known how these kernel functions behave as we vary the base point. In this note, we prove that these kernel functions vary smoothly. As an application of the smoothness result, we prove a Ramadanov-type theorem for these kernel functions on $Ω\timesΩ$. This extends the previously known convergence results of these kernel functions. In fact, we have made these observations in a more general setting, that is, for weighted kernel functions and their higher-order counterparts.

We prove that starting from a fine initial mesh our proposed adaptive algorithm produces a sequence of discrete first eigenvalues that converges to the first eigenvalue of the continuous problem and the distance between discrete eigenfunctions and the normalized eigenfunction set corresponding to the first eigenvalue in $W^{1,p}$-norm also tends to zero. Extensive numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness and efficiency.

description: We present a novel Artificial Intelligence approach for Beyond the Standard Model parameter space scans by augmenting an Evolutionary Strategy with Novelty Detection. Our approach leverages the power of Evolutionary Strategies, previously shown to quickly converge to the valid regions of the parameter space, with a \emph{novelty reward} to continue exploration once converged. Taking the $Z_3$ 3HDM as our Physics case, we show how our methodology allows us to quickly explore highly constrained multidimensional parameter spaces, providing up to eight orders of magnitude higher sampling efficiency when compared with pure random sampling and up to four orders of magnitude when compared to random sampling around the alignment limit. In turn, this enables us to explore regions of the parameter space that have been hitherto overlooked, leading to the possibility of novel phenomenological realisations of the $Z_3$ 3HDM that had not been considered before.

Effects of trace metals on the Australian abalone, Haliotis rubra
Creators: name: Gorski, Jacquelle
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis focussed on the effects of a range of trace metals on various stages of Haliotis rubra development. The trace metals assessed in this thesis were the essential metals Cu, Zn and Fe; and, the non-essential metals Hg, Cd and Pb. Copper and Hg proved to be the two most toxic metals to the life stages of H. rubra studied. The concentrations affecting normal development of the fertilised egg exposed for 48h showed a decreasing order of toxicity with 48hEC50 recorded at 7µg Cu/L, 20µg Hg/L, 42µg Zn/L, 4,102µg Fe/L, 4,515µg Cd/L, and 5,111µg Pb/L. Settlement and metamorphosis occur in normal larvae when aged 5 days, and exposure of the 5 day old larvae to the metals for 48h resulted in impaired crawling success at 128µg/L Cu and Hg, and 1250µg Cd/L. Settlement was inhibited after exposure to 128µg Cu/L, 32µg Hg/L, and 1250 Cd/L. Metamorphosis of larvae 96h after exposu re was inhibited by 32µg Cu/L, 512µg Zn/L, 32µg Hg/L and 625µg Cd/L. The rate of metamorphosis was enhanced after exposure to Cu and Hg at 0.5µg/L and 64 - 256µg Zn/L. Exposure to Zn at concentrations 64, 128 and 256 µg Zn/L caused an increased rate of settlement and metamorphosis. Juvenile H. rubra exposed to the six metals for 96h were most sensitive to Cu, which produced a 96hLC50 of 87µg Cu/L compared to Hg with a 96hLC50 of 173µg Hg/L. Juvenile H. rubra were relatively insensitive to Zn and Cd with the 96h LC50 of 1730µg Zn/L and 3700µg Cd/L, respectively. Exposure to individual solutions of Cu, Zn, and Cd for 28 days resulted in juvenile H. rubra bioaccumulating significant concentrations of metals in the visceramantleedible foot muscle. Accumulation of Hg was greater in the mantle-viscera-edible foot muscle. Following exposure, depuration in clean seawater for 28 days produced varying decreases in metal concentrations for each tissue compartment. Sodium-potassium activated ATPase (Na+,K+-ATPase) activity in the gills of juvenile H. rubra was significantly affected following exposure to the trace metals for 28 days, with a decreasing order of effect on enzyme activity of Hg-Cu-Cd-Zn. Depuration of H. rubra in clean seawater for 28 days resulted in the recovery of Na+,K+-ATPase activity to varying degrees. The recovery of ATPase activity was more efficient following exposure to Cd-Zn-Cu-Hg. The overall results of this thesis provide initial baseline information to evaluate the sensitivity of H. rubra to trace metal toxicants, and these results may be utilised by regulators for establishing marine water quality guidelines to protect H. rubra and other abalone species in their natural habitats.

description: Haptic rendering of weight plays an essential role in naturalistic object interaction in virtual environments. While kinesthetic devices have traditionally been used for this aim by applying forces on the limbs, tactile interfaces acting on the skin have recently offered potential solutions to enhance or substitute kinesthetic ones. Here, we aim to provide an in-depth overview and comparison of existing tactile weight rendering approaches. We categorized these approaches based on their type of stimulation into asymmetric vibration and skin stretch, further divided according to the working mechanism of the devices. Then, we compared these approaches using various criteria, including physical, mechanical, and perceptual characteristics of the reported devices and their potential applications. We found that asymmetric vibration devices have the smallest form factor, while skin stretch devices relying on the motion of flat surfaces, belts, or tactors present numerous mechanical and perceptual advantages for scenarios requiring more accurate weight rendering. Finally, we discussed the selection of the proposed categorization of devices and their application scopes, together with the limitations and opportunities for future research. We hope this study guides the development and use of tactile interfaces to achieve a more naturalistic object interaction and manipulation in virtual environments.

description: In this paper, we introduce a new generating function called $d$-polynomial for the dimensions of $τ$-tilting modules over a given finite dimensional algebra. Firstly, we study basic properties of $d$-polynomials and show that it can be realized as a certain sum of the $f$-polynomials of the simplicial complexes arising from $τ$-rigid pairs. Secondly, we give explicit formulas of $d$-polynomials for preprojective algebras and path algebras of Dynkin quivers by using a close relation with $W$-Eulerian polynomials and $W$-Narayana polynomials. Thirdly, we consider the ordinary and exponential generating functions defined from $d$-polynomials and give closed-form expressions in the case of preprojective algebras and path algebras of Dynkin type $\mathbb{A}$.

International expansion by the banking & finance services industry sector: strategy analysis and key strategic decisions - an Australian perspective
Creators: name: Nolan, Francis, Garry
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The thesis develops a model of the key strategic decisions necessary for international expansion that may be used as a guide for Australian publicly listed companies in the banking and financial services sector that are seeking to develop their business in foreign markets and, to develop an understanding of the various elements of such a model.

A review of the literature was undertaken to see if a comprehensive model for international business expansion is available for use by Australian companies, with a focus on the banking and financial services sector. The findings from the literature review were that the current literature addresses many aspects of international business expansion, including the location of foreign direct investment, the mode of entry and cultural issues. However, a contribution to the current body of knowledge could be made by drawing together into one place the different theoretical foundations. The findings from various elements of the literature were used to progressively build the model of international expansion by focusing on the key strategic decisions that must be made in looking to expand offshore. The model, based on the literature review, was then supplemented by a case analysis focusing on key factors in the international expansion of one Australian company in the banking and financial services industry. The case analysis involved an examination of published data and a series of interviews with Australian business directors and executives with extensive experience in the formulation and implementation of strategic decisions that a company in the banking and financial services industry must take in expanding offshore. The interviewees were generous with their time and provided many insights from practical experience and a deep level of understanding in the field of international business expansion, as it applies to an Australian company in the banking and financial services sector. These interviews make a further contribution to the current body of knowledge and have been included in full in an appendix to the thesis.

description: Специализированное мясное скотоводство играет существенную роль в производстве говядины, при этом возникает необходимость более эффективного использования кормовых ресурсов. Исследования проводили в Петровском районе Ставропольского края на ремонтных бычках лимузинской породы. Целью исследования было изучение технологического приёма раннего отъёма и использования кормовой добавки «Баксин-КД» для бычков на подсосе под матерями в мясном скотоводстве. Кормовая добавка «Баксин-КД» создана из натурального сырья - инактивированной биомассы галобактерий непатогенного штамма Halobacteriumhalobium 353 П для применения новорожденным телятам в первые дни жизни, позволяющие существенно повысить титры антител, а также профилактировать желудочно-кишечные и бронхо-легочные заболевания. Изучение технологического приёма раннего отъёма бычков лимузинской породы на подсосе под матерями показало, что их ранний отъём от коров в возрасте 150 дней не оказал отрицательного влияния на рост и развитие, а применение кормовой добавки «Баксин-КД» повысило у них валовой прирост за 150 дней на 16,83%, составив 137,5 кг. За 205 дней этот показатель увеличился до 189 кг или на 14,83% от контрольных животных. У бычков, получавших эту кормовую добавку, наблюдалось достоверное повышение показателей крови в пределах физиологической нормы. Уровень рентабельности выращивания бычков, выращенных до 150-дневного возраста с применением добавки «Баксин-КД», был выше в возрасте 205 дней на 26,49% от уровня 19,76% в группе без подкормки продолжительностью 205 дней, а в аналогичной группе с продолжительностью 150 дней на 28,0%.

description: This paper investigates a novel nonlinear singular fractional SI model with the $Φ_p$ operator and the Mittag-Leffler kernel. The initial investigation includes the existence, uniqueness, boundedness, and non-negativity of the solution. We then establish Hyers-Ulam stability for the proposed model in Banach space. Optimal control analysis is performed to minimize the spread of infection and maximize the population of susceptible individuals. Finally, the theoretical results are supported by numerical simulations.

description: Nematic phases, where electrons in a solid spontaneously break rotational symmetry while preserving the translational symmetry, exist in several families of unconventional superconductors [1, 2]. Although superconductivity mediated by nematic fluctuations is well established theoretically [3-7], it has yet to be unambiguously identified experimentally [8, 9]. A major challenge is that nematicity is often intertwined with other degrees of freedom, such as magnetism and charge order. The FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_x$ family of iron based superconductors provides a unique opportunity to explore this concept, as it features an isolated nematic phase that can be suppressed by sulfur substitution at a quantum critical point (QCP) near $x_c = 0.17$, where nematic fluctuations are the largest [10-12]. Here, we performed scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements to visualize Boguliubov quasiparticle interference patterns, from which we determined the momentum structure of the superconducting gap near the Brillouin zone $Γ$ point of FeSe$_{0.81}$S$_{0.19}$. The results reveal an anisotropic, near nodal gap with minima that are $45^\circ$ rotated with respect to the Fe-Fe direction, characteristic of a nematic pairing interaction, contrary to the usual isotropic gaps due to spin mediated pairing in other tetragonal Fe-based superconductors. The results are also in contrast with pristine FeSe, where the pairing is mediated by spin fluctuations and the gap minima are aligned with the Fe-Fe direction. Therefore, the measured gap structure demonstrates not only a fundamental change of the pairing mechanism across the phase diagram of FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_x$, but it also indicates the existence of superconductivity mediated by nematic fluctuations in FeSe$_{0.81}$S$_{0.19}$.
