Great expectations: sustaining participation in social media spaces
Creators: name: Russo, Angelina

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In recent years there has been a dramatic rise in the number of participatory media technologies which museums have employed to engage people in new ways under the rubric of Web 2.0. Blogs, wikis, podcasts, vodcasts, photo and video sharing, virtual environments, tagging, annotation and other authoring tools offer people new opportunities to engage with museum content processes through co-creation and interactive cultural experiences. Arguably, these platforms and tools are creating new relationships between institutions and the public. This paper contends that to create sustained participation in social media spaces, museums need to reconsider their relationships with the public and thoroughly explore user motivations and intentions for participation in social media activities. We suggest some ways in which museums might design and evaluate their social media initiatives to ensure their success and sustainability, and offer some questions for further research.

The effects of serotonin versus catecholamine depletion on emotional processing: an event-related potential study on the International Affective Picture System
Creators: name: Thurgood, Clementine
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study examined the effects of serotonin, catecholamine, and combined serotonin and catecholamine depletion on attentional biases associated with emotional processing. The sample comprised ten healthy male participants aged between 22 and 42 years. Depletion, or reduction of neurotransmitter function, was achieved by administering an amino acid mixture that was lacking in the precursor necessary for the production of the corresponding neurotransmitter. Emotional processing was assessed by the early attention event-related potential component, the P100, to photographs from the International Affective Picture System. Mood was rated on the quick wittedmentally slow, happy-sad, and amicable-antagonistic scales of the Visual Analogue Mood Scale. Unexpectedly, the amplitude of the P100 was larger for positive stimuli than for negative or neutral stimuli. Also contrary to expectations, there were no differences among treatment conditions in terms of the P100 to any of the emotional stimuli. Consistent with expectations, serotonin depletion and catecholamine depletion did not have any effects on subjective ratings of mood. In contrast to expectations, however, combined serotonin and catecholamine depletion failed to have any effect on mood. These findings suggest that the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine do not affect attentional bias in the processing of emotional stimuli.

description: The objective of this study is to demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of a solution to a coupled system of infinite-delay fractional q integro-differential equations. The equation that will be the focus of this paper's analysis is noteworthy and innovative since it combines fractional differentiation with fractional q integration and has numerous applications to real-world occurrences. The existence of the solution is established using the Schauder fixed-point theorem. The uniqueness of a solution will be evaluated using Banach's fixed-point theorem. The definitions of the Riemann fractional q integral and the Caputo fractional derivative are used to arrive at a numerical solution to the coupled system. Then, the merge of the trapezoidal finite difference methodology is integrated. The finite difference approach is used for the first and second derivative components, whereas the trapezoidal method is used for the integral components. As a result, a set of straightforward algebraic equations will be produced, from which we can deduce the solution. Some applications are provided to illustrate our main conclusions.

title: Evolution of Swirl Boundary Layer and Wall Stall at Part Load - A Generic Experiment
Creators: name: Stapp, Dennis
name: Pelz, Peter F.
Publisher: name: ASME
Year: 2022

description: The influence of Reynolds number, roughness and turbulence on the onset of wall stall is up to now not sufficiently understood. To shed some light onto the interdependency of near wall flow with growing swirl component, the simplest “machine” is tested. The apparatus we examine is a circular pipe at rest followed by a rotating co-axial pipe segment. In the sense of a generic experiment this machine represents a very basic model of the inlet of an axial machine. Due to the wall shear stress a swirl boundary layer is formed in the rotating pipe segment, interacting with the axial boundary layer. The evolution of the swirl velocity profile with increasing axial distance from the rotating pipe inlet is measured for various Reynolds numbers, flow numbers and degrees of turbulence by means of Laser Doppler Anemometry. We observe a self-similarity in the swirl velocity profile, for subcritical flow number and develop a scaling law for the velocity distribution in the transition section of a rotating pipe. At critical flow number the boundary layer is separating, resulting in a ring vortex at the inlet of the rotating pipe. Our work fills the gap of previous experimental works, with respect to high Reynolds numbers and low flow numbers. The parameter field we examine is most relevant for turbomachinery application and wall stall. In addition our boundary layer resolution is sufficient to resolve the swirl boundary layer thickness. Only this high resolution enables us to generalize the experimental findings by means of a similarity distribution of the velocity profile within the swirl boundary layer.

description: The European asylum system is based on the 1990 Dublin Convention and its revisions and developments in EU law. It is an instance of differentiated cooperation, as it initially only coordinated heterogeneous national asylum systems and offered flexible forms of participation with opt-outs for Denmark, Ireland and the UK. This paper investigates the triggers, nature and effects of this differentiated cooperation. By reviewing its evolution over the last thirty years, this paper concludes that differentiation has been decisive to starting European cooperation in a new policy area, that it has created a dynamic of progressive convergence, and that its impact on problem solving has been positive. Accordingly, this paper recommends the use of differentiation to kick-start European cooperation and suggests further differentiated integration to lead to a solution for the persisting problems of effectiveness of the European asylum system.
The benefits of simulations in entrepreneurship education: presentation of a start-up simulation approach and evaluation r esults
Creators: name: Auchter, Eberhard

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: It is very common to argue traditional teaching method, e.g. classical lectures, case studies, cannot cover the requirements of an entrepreneurship education, but business simulations can help compensating these deficits. Until now, there is little empirical evidence about the contribution of business simulations to entrepreneurial competencies. On the basis of the prevailing used business simulation in Germany for the start up business - TOPSIM Startup -these issues will be traced by a theory-based evaluation approach. The business simulation TOP-SIM-Startup tries to represent the complexity and the relevant variables in different start-up situations and covers all stages of a start-up business: from collecting information checking the business idea up to transforming the business idea to a successful company in a competitive situation. The modular set-up of the simulations offers a wide variety of uses: Trade (E-Commerce), Service (Fitness-studios), Production (High-Tech-sport goods) and High-tech (Biotech).
The leadership-based nexus of ambidexterity’s antecedents in the spin-along approach
Creators: name: Michl, Theresa

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper is about building theory from a single case study for a practice phenomenon called spin-along, a combination of internal and external corporate venturing elements with the goal of supporting innovation activities of large corporations. The theory of ambidextrous organization, the resource-based and resource-dependence view as well as the role of senior management were identified as relevant concepts for the spin-along approach. Results from the case study conducted at a leading international laboratory and process technology provider reveal that there must be two merged perspectives, namely from the parent and from the spin-along, in order to achieve organizational ambidexterity and a higher overall strategic and financial performance.

Modelling and analysis of a dynamic hip screw: biomechanical analysis of a dynamic hip screw under different load conditions
Creators: name: Sadeghi Taheri, Nooshin
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Internal fixation is a choice of treatment of hip fractures employing implants like dynamic hip screw to stabilize the fracture.The choice of proper implant has a great effect on the healing process and early mobility of patients. Since the majority of the hip fracture patients are elderly, surgeons are reluctant to perform implant removal operation. A better understanding of biomechanical behaviour of dynamic hip screw during daily activities and at impact from a low energy fall will aid the patients with the implanted femur. This study carries out a finite element analysis to establish the effect of load conditions and implant material properties on biomechanical behaviour of the intact and implanted femur after internal fixation. A three-dimensional finite element model of an intact femur and a threedimensional dynamic hip screw within the same femur were developed. By means of literature data, four load configurations were chosen; simulating stance phase of normal gait, stair climbing, stair descending and impact from a fall from standing height, on the lateral aspect of the hip. To the author’s knowledge there has been little research done considering load conditions such as stair climbing and stair descending, or falling on the implanted femur containing a dynamic hip screw. In the case of stair climbing, two different load regimes are chosen, one with simple stair climbing loads, and the second including active muscle forces, resulting in 15 different cases which were investigated. In addition, the implanted femur was investigated with two different materials for the implant,involving Stainless steel and a Titanium alloy. The implanted femurs were compared for deformation, and von Mises stresses under all load conditions relative to those in the intact femur. The implants were also assessed and compared for stress in relation to their different material properties. The results show that the presence of the dynamic hip screw significantly increases stress within the implanted femur. However, peak stresses are below the yield stress of both the bone and implant during daily activities. The most critical activity is stair climbing according to the stress results. Investigating two different load regimes for stair climbing case revealed that inclusion of active muscles increases the stress on the implanted femur, which is close to real physiological loadings. Walking and stair descending induce less stress and cause less deformation on the implanted femur. During fall, high stress concentrations are experienced within the dynamic hip screw rather within the femur itself when compared to the intact femur under the same load condition. Titanium alloy as the material for dynamic hip screw decreases the stress levels within the implanted femur by average of 40% compared with the stainless steel, and may be considered as the preferred implant material.

description: Rosie Dub's practice-led PhD consists of a novel titled 'Flight' and an accompanying exegesis which explores the motives, techniques and theoretical background to the writing of 'Flight'. Set in contemporary Australia, this 'coming to self' novel follows the journey of a young woman as she faces her past. The exegesis draws on theory from a range of academic disciplines, while embracing the vernacular in order to give voices to specialists outside of academia. It explores the way in which the structure of story provides a map of the individuation process. Both works are enriched by theoretical research, practical experience and personal reflection.

description: The molecular cobalt fluorides CoF2, CoF3 and CoF4 are studied and compared by employing different basis sets as well as Quantum Information Theory (QIT) to investigate their correlation effects. These prototypical monomers may be systematically extended in size yielding a novel quasi 1‐dimensional, strongly correlated model system consisting of cobalt atoms bridged by oxygen atoms and fluorine termination on both ends. Accurate correlation energies are obtained using Full Configuration Interaction (FCI) and Full Configuration Interaction Quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) calculations and the results are compared to Coupled Cluster and Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) energies. The analysis indicates the cobalt atom requires a larger number of one‐electron basis functions than fluorine and the use of localized molecular orbitals may facilitate calculations for the extended systems.
Hydraulic Modeling and Flood Mapping of Fogera Flood Plain:
Creators: name: Hagos, Brhane
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: Nowadays, extraordinary floods are common many parts of Ethiopia causing a lot of losses to human lives as well as damage to property. Historically, Fogera/Dera flood plain has been vulnerable to flash flooding from rainfall, in particular of the Gumera catchment which passes in between the Fogera -Dera weredas. The tributary rivers are originating from the southern highlands of Debretabor with a steep slope. The Fogera –Dera flood plain is located east of Lake Tana in North West Ethiopia about 625 km from the capital city Addis Ababa and the terrain is fairly flat. The Gumara catchment drained by Gumara River is part of Nile basin The over flow of the river affects part of the Fogera /Dera flood plain but mainly the Fogera part at lower reach near to Lake Tana. Hence, this thesis is to identify peak flood and delineate and produce flood inundation mapping areas that can be affected by extraordinary floods and to recommend mitigation measures. This thesis tries to consider more options and fills the gaps not covered by others, adopting more than seven application soft wares like Arc GIS, Global Mapper, HEC-HMS, HEC-DSS, HEC-GeoHMS, HEC-RAS and HEC-GeoRAS. 30m*30m resolution DEM for the catchment and 2m contour interval for Fogera flood plain are used to analyze terrain information. For precipitation modeling, the daily rain fall basis is used for HEC_HMS calibration and ERA Intensity-frequency-duration curve is used for frequency storm analysis. The hydrologic frequency model is used for determining the peak flow discharge for return periods of 2, 5, 10, 50 and 100 years and the result is found to be 197.7m3/s, 246.8 m3/s, 265.4m3/s, and 306.0m3/s and 319.60m3/s respectively. For the 100 year flood frequency the maximum depth of flood is 7.94m and this depth of flood is extended to the flood plain up to 10km of the flood area which affects mainly the Wageta, Kidist Hana, Shina, Quhar Michael and Bebeks Tana mistily and Jigna Weredas .The total area affected by this flood is31.36 km2 and the area affected by the 2year flood inundation of 7.36m is 22.27 Km2.

description: The confinement of concrete with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites can significantly enhance its strength and deformability. However, the effectiveness of FRP confinement on square and rectangular concrete sections, in which the concrete is non-uniformly confined, is much lower than the effective confinement of circular sections. To investigate the shape factors influencing the compressive behavior of FRP-confined concrete in square and rectangular sections, a database of existing test results was assembled. The database was then studied, together with a companion database consisting of the test results of FRP-confined concrete in circular sections, in order to capture the change in the effectiveness of confinement due to the change in the sectional shape. The combined database catalogued the compression test results of 1547 specimens with unconfined concrete strengths ranging from 6.2 to 169.7 MPa. It provided a significantly extended parameter space, thereby allowing clearer observations of the important factors influencing the compressive behavior of FRP-confined concrete in various sections. Based on the test database, a unified model for FRP-confined concrete in circular, square and rectangular sections was developed and presented in this paper.

description: Obesity and associated metabolic disorders are major causes of morbidity and mortality in both developed and developing countries, but the options for treating these conditions are limited. Energy homeostasis and metabolism are regulated by a complex network of neuroendocrine systems, neural pathways, peripheral signals and circuits. Consequently, our knowledge of the regulation of energy homeostasis and metabolism remains incomplete. Two neuroendocrine systems were examined in this thesis, one involving glucocorticoids (a peripherally produced hormone acting centrally) and one involving kisspeptin (a centrally produced hormone acting peripherally). Reduction of active glucocorticoids in the arcuate nucleus of post-pubertal male rats (via stereotactic injection of recombinant adeno-associated virus to reduce expression of 11βHSD1) resulted in less weight gain despite matched food intake to controls on normal chow diet, with higher brown adipose tissue weight. However, on a high fat diet, reduction in arcuate active glucocorticoids resulted in higher average daily food intake and a trend towards higher body weight than controls. No differences in body composition, plasma corticosterone, plasma insulin and plasma glucose were produced by reduction of arcuate glucocorticoids. Administration of kisspeptin to healthy men resulted in increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) during hyperglycaemia but not during euglycaemia. Kisspeptin enhanced GSIS without affecting the levels of metabolically active gut hormones. Additionally, acute kisspeptin administration did not affect appetite and food intake in healthy men. These results provide further insights into the neuroendocrine control of energy homeostasis and metabolism and may help guide the development of hormone-modulating therapies for the treatment of obesity and associated conditions.

The Curious Case of the Semantic Data Catalog
Creators: name: Ivanov, Yanko
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Knowledge graphs have been on the rise and organizations have found a variety of use cases for the technology. One specific type of use case is the implementation of a knowledge graph as a semantic data catalog. With the inherent power of the technology to integrate structured and unstructured information, the application of knowledge graphs as data catalogs seems to be a foregone conclusion. Capturing the semantic context of data in a smart data catalog application provides much more than a simple description of the organization’s data. In this presentation, we discuss key considerations and business value of semantic data catalogs. We also review a specific use case where we implemented a semantic data catalog for a government organization to help them track, discover, and govern a large number of data sets.

Equilibrium of crack growth and wear rates during unlubricated rolling-sliding contact of pearlitic rail steel
Creators: name: Fletcher, D. I.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: It is generally accepted that large rolling contact fatigue cracks in rails do not develop during unlubricated rolling-sliding contact, and damage under these conditions is restricted to wear of the rail steel. However, close examination of a worn rail steel surface reveals the presence of a multitude of wear flakes, the roots of which closely resemble shallow rolling contact fatigue cracks. Experiments have been conducted under unlubricated rolling-sliding conditions to examine the early development of flakes, or cracks, using a laboratory-based, twin-disc test machine to simulate the contact pressure and slip characteristic of the contact between a rail and a locomotive driving wheel. Small defects were found after as few as 125 unlubricated contact cycles. It was found that an equilibrium between crack growth rate and surface wear rate was established after approximately 10 000 cycles, leading to a shallow steady state crack depth. Initial crack growth by ratchetting (accumulation of unidirectional plastic strain until the critical failure strain of the material is reached), followed by shear stress-driven crack growth described by fracture mechanics, was found to be a sequence of mechanisms in qualitative agreement with the observed crack growth and steady state crack depth.

description: While XML is emerging as the universal format for publishing and exchanging data on the Web, most business data is still stored and maintained in relational DBMSs. To enable eBusiness database applications, Web access to the legacy data managed by DBMSs needs to be provided. In this paper, we introduce a virtual XML database engine VXE-R which allows users query a relational database via XML as if they were accessing XML documents. Algorithms for schema transformation and query translation in VXE-R are presented.
A personal vision of the integrated society

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this paper I draw upon theory within critical and postconventional futures studies to develop a vision for some potential applications of advanced cognitive capacities in an idealised society of the future - the integrated city. Specifically I refer to the theory of integrated intelligence (Anthony, 2008). This theory posits that the human mind is embedded within a sea of consciousness, and that contemporary human beings can consciously utilise this consciousness. In this paper I focus upon the future of life and especially work in the modern city in developed Western and Asian localities.
Assessment of Surface Water Potential to Manage Frequent Drought Disaster (A Case of Dhas District in Borana Zone of Oromia Region, Ethiopia)
Creators: name: Alemayehu, Worku
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: The study was conducted in Dhas district, which is located in Borana Zone of Oromia region; geographically it is situated 4.00 o -4.39 o N and 38.39 o -39.46 o E with altitude range of 1082 – 1666m a.m.s.l. Total area of the district is 3,183.22km 2 ; its length from West to East is 120 Km and width from South to North is 41km. There is not any river and gauging station in the district; the study was conducted aiming at estimation of surface water potential of the district and evaluation of its sufficiency for managing of drought disaster in the district. The surface water potential assessment of the district was conducted using SCS model with the aid of remote sensing and GIS. The assessment output was contextualized with the study finding of Genale Dawa integrated Master plan study (Dhas district is located in Dawa sub-basin; finding from separate analysis of Dawa sub-basin was referred). For the recent land use/ land cover information of Dhas district; satellite images were downloaded from USGS (United States Geological Survey) website with acquisition dates of December 2018, and the image processing was done using ERDAS Imagine 2015. With the aid of HEC-GeoHMS tool that is specifically designed in the ArcGIS environment to process geospatial data, the curve number was generated using the required information (hydrologic soil group, DEM, LULC map). The district was divided in to twelve sub-watersheds using Global mapped software, and direct runoff estimation was done for each sub-watershed separately; the summation of direct runoff from each sub-watershed was made to get the total direct runoff amount of the district. Thirty years daily grid rainfall data that was collected from NMA was used for the estimation of the direct runoff. Estimation of runoff volume was computed for all thirty years period, and the estimated minimum and maximum runoff volume were found to be 8Mm 3 and 361Mm 3 respectively. Twenty years of forecast was made to estimate the major requirements in the district. Human and livestock's water requirement estimation based on the population sized of 2039 was computed to be 10Mm 3 / year. The abundant of estimated runoff volume was evaluated, whether it is enough or not to satisfy the major water requirements in terms of managing the frequent drought disaster. As the analysis shows, Dhas district is having sufficient surface water potential that can be developed for managing of the frequent drought disaster in the district. This study was conducted focusing only on the available surface water potential of the district, and its sufficiency for managing of the drought disaster in the district. Its finding is also expected to be an entry point for development of the resource in the large scale. But for its implementation, it needs further feasibility and detail studies.
