Dense real-time 3D reconstruction from multiple images
Creators: name: Ling, Li
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The rapid increase in computer graphics and acquisition technologies has led to the widespread use of 3D models. Techniques for 3D reconstruction from multiple views aim to recover the structure of a scene and the position and orientation (motion) of the camera using only the geometrical constraints in 2D images. This problem, known as Structure from Motion (SfM) has been the focus of a great deal of research effort in recent years; however, the automatic, dense, real-time and accurate reconstruction of a scene is still a major research challenge. This thesis presents work that targets the development of efficient algorithms to produce high quality and accurate reconstructions, introducing new computer vision techniques for camera motion calibration, dense SfM reconstruction and dense real-time 3D reconstruction. In SfM, a second challenge is to build an effective reconstruction framework that provides dense and high quality surface modelling.

 This thesis develops a complete, automatic and flexible system with a simple user-interface of `raw images to 3D surface representation'. As part of the proposed image reconstruction approach, this thesis introduces an accurate and reliable region-growing algorithm to propagate the dense matching points from the sparse key points among all stereo pairs. This dense 3D reconstruction proposal addresses the deficiencies of existing SfM systems built on sparsely distributed 3D point clouds which are insufficient for reconstructing a complete 3D model of a scene. The existing SfM reconstruction methods perform a bundle adjustment optimization of the global geometry in order to obtain an accurate model. Such an optimization is very computational expensive and cannot be implemented in a real-time application. Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) considers the problem of concurrently estimating in real-time the structure of the surrounding world, perceived by moving sensors (cameras), simultaneously localizing in it. However, standard EKF-SLAM techniques are susceptible to errors introduced during the state prediction and measurement prediction linearization.

description: Abstract State Machines (ASM) are a formal specification language which is used in the software and system engineering. Different to UML2 diagrams, which are another well-known, graphical, formal specification language, ASMs are mostly used for scientific work and are textual based. Control State ASMs are a special class of ASMs which are similar to Finite State Machines, but extends them by parallelism and data structure manipulation. To give a better overview of their Control State ASM specifications, flowchart-like charts are often made. They also help the reader understand the ASMs. Such graphical representation are then called Control State Diagrams (CSD). Because these CSDs are yet not fully specified, they often lead to confusion and misunderstandings, because often nothing is said about the behavior of CSDs and there is no full list of possible shapes of them. This work will take the actual literature, analyzes the existing CSDs and the corresponding ASMs and derive a full definition of the syntax and semantics of CSDs in the form of a formal specification. Additionally a prototype of a graphical editor is implemented, with which CSDs can be created and transformed to CoreASM, a special ASM tool which is used to run ASMs on a computer.

description: A new record of halimedacean algae is reported from the Upper Triassic (Carnian) of the Dolomites (Southern Alps) near Cortina d’Ampezzo. Based on the gross morphology (non-segmented non-branched thalli) and the internal skeletal arrangement (e.g., medulla with thicker siphons, sometimes bifurcating at high angles; cortex with thinner siphons with multiple Y-like branching), the material can be assigned to the genus Boueina. It is the first record of halimedacean algae from the Upper Triassic of the Southern Alps (Dolomites) and the highly diverse San Cassiano Formation sensu lato (Heiligkreuz Formation). Although the fossilization potential of these algae was low, it is likely that they were much more common than suggested by this sparse fossil record and that they contributed considerably to carbonate production in early Mesozoic times.

description: This work describes and analyzes an original collection of fossil corals from the Ellipsactinia Limestones (Kimmeridgian-Tithonian), exposed in the Marsica area (central Apennines, Italy), focusing on taxonomy and paleoecology. 43 species grouped into 32 genera, 16 families and 9 suborders were identified. Astreoidogyra giadae nov. gen. nov. sp. (Rhipidogyridae) and Clausastrea eliasovae nov. sp. (Montlivaltiidae) are new taxa. Corals occur from the back reef to the reef crest, showing a marked zonation, expressed by a variation of coral cover and type, although the reef front and slope facies could not be sampled. The back reef is characterised by scattered medium-to-small colonies, with a relative high variety of colony shape, corallite arrangement types and high taxonomic diversity. Stylosmilia, Calamophylliopsis, Intersmilia, Pleurophyllia, Bracthelia, Heliocoenia, Ogilvinella occur here among others. The inner reef flat records the highest coral cover, with large robust branching, such as “Pseudocoenia”, Heliocoenia, Calamophylliopsis, and large dome-shaped meandroid, such as Psammogyra, Pruvostrastraea, Eugyriopsis) colonies. Within the external reef flat and the reef crest the coral cover is low and the stromatoporoid-bearing mounds dominate on the isolated coral bioconstructions. Controlling factors as bathymetry, hydrodynamic disturbances, abrasive currents, background sedimentation and morphological irregularities of the depositional profile are considered to explain the observed coral zonation. High diversity and low dominance indices are interpreted to result from reef complex heterogeneity, which should have influenced the formation of different ecological niches and consequently the proliferation of a greater number of taxa in a relatively small area.

Continuing professional development in medical radiation science: journey towards reflective practice in cyberspace
Creators: name: Sim, Jenny
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The study aimed to investigate how continuing professional development (CPD) activities, through the development of a CPD educational framework, can assist Medical Radiation Science (MRS) practitioners to engage in reflective practice while entrenched in a protocol driven workplace culture.

The study, with action research as the chosen methodology, and used both quantitative and qualitative methodology, was divided into two phases. The first phase of data collection aimed to inform the researcher of the needs of the MRS profession. The second phase of the study involved the design and development of an educational framework for CPD, based on current theories of learning and teaching using the framework and data collected from the first phase of the study, an online module was developed. The objectives of the module were to increase participants' knowledge in breast planning in radiation therapy by assisting participants to engage in reflective practice. The cyclical process of action research was used to pilot the module twice with two groups of volunteer radiation therapists.

The online module was evaluated using Kirkpatrick's four level evaluation model (Kirkpatrick, 1998; Guskey, 2000). Based on Boud et al.'s reflection model (1985), all participants showed evidence of action, affective and perspective outcomes. They also demonstrated successful development of lifelong learning attributes, were empowered and their learning had a positive impact in their workplace. They began to assume a more proactive role and increased clinical responsibilities, engaging colleagues in collaborative reflections and adopting evidence-based approaches in advancing workplace practices.

The study shows that it is possible to assist MRS practitioners to engage in reflective practice within a CPD educational framework online. The study also shows the importance of reflective practice, lifelong learning and transformative learning in CPD. Reflective practice liberates and empowers participants, lifelong learning equips them to continue learning and transformative learning facilitates perspective transformation. Thus, an effective educational framework is one that adopts a holistic approach towards CPD, by incorporating reflective practice, lifelong learning and transformative learning. The educational framework adopted in the present study may be extrapolated to CPD programs in other MRS disciplines and other healthcare professions.

description: Post-translationally modified, (methyl-)lanthionine-containing peptides are produced by several Gram-positive bacteria. These so-called lantibiotics have potent activity against various bacterial pathogens including multidrug-resistant strains and are thus discussed as alternatives to antibiotics. Several naturally occurring mechanisms of resistance against lantibiotics have been described for bacteria, including cell envelope modifications, ABC-transporters, lipoproteins and peptidases. Corynebacterium species are widespread in nature and comprise important pathogens, commensals as well as environmentally and biotechnologically relevant species. Yet, little is known about lantibiotic biosynthesis and resistance in this genus. Here, we present a comprehensive in silico prediction of lantibiotic resistance traits in this important group of Gram-positive bacteria. Our analyses suggest that enzymes for cell envelope modification, peptidases as well as ABC-transporters involved in peptide resistance are widely distributed in the genus. Based on our predictions, we analyzed the susceptibility of six Corynebacterium species to nisin and found that those without dedicated resistance traits are more susceptible and unable to adapt to higher concentrations. In addition, we were able to identify lantibiotic resistance operons encoding for peptidases, ABC-transporters and two-component systems with an unusual predicted structure that are conserved in the genus Corynebacterium. Heterologous expression shows that these operons indeed confer resistance to the lantibiotic nisin.

description: Knowing what another person is feeling and feeling that same emotion too is what empathy enables us to do. However, since there are various different emotions, the question becomes if we feel the same empathetic response when observing happiness and sadness in someone, for instance, or if our response differs. The emotion specific empathy questionnaire (ESE) differentiates our empathetic response to 9 different emotions: Anger, fear, sadness, happiness, disgust, surprise, relief, pride, and contentment. In this paper we wanted to find out, if on the one hand empathy as a whole and on the other hand our emotion specific empathies remain stable across time. We also wanted to know if there are differences in stability between the emotional empathies. For that purpose, we recruited 117 predominantly younger, white, female and educated participants who filled out the 90 ESE items at two different times three weeks apart. Our results support previous findings and our expected hypothesis that empathy as a whole remains stable. The emotion specific correlations differ quite a bit. Their correlations range from .64 to .99. The lowest correlation has been found for the disgust specific empathy, while the highest correlations were observed for pride and relief, followed by surprise and contentment.

Approaches to the mediated city
Creators: name: Jachna, Timothy
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Digital mediation of urban spatial practice affects the way cities are planned, perceived and ‘performed’, as manifested in computer-supported urban planning and simulations, and also in the reconfiguration of patterns of urban behaviour and experience through day-to-day use of the Internet and cellular phone systems by urban citizens. I conceptually unify this broad range of digitally-mediated practices under the term “the mediated city”, and propose that the ways in which urban actors are appropriating these technologies has the potential to transform not just the practices that take place within the city but the very processes of the genesis of built urban space.

I articulate a theoretical framework that encapsulates the various modes of actually existing digitally-mediated urban spatial practice in the three realms of mediated urban life, mediated urban design and mediated urban planning and establish a genealogy of ideas and actions linking the theory and practice of this emerging milieu to interface theory and practice and urban theory and practice. I apply grounded theory methodology to gain an understanding of current mediated urban spatial practice, based upon which I construct and illustrate a conceptual model of the mediated city.

In order to exemplify the understanding of the themes, qualities and mechanisms of the mediated city that I have assembled through this research, I bring my general conceptual model of the mediated city to bear on the structured imagining of possible futures for urban China. I propose a hypothetical program of “moves” taken by various urban actors within this context, to exemplify the types of urban practices I am trying to articulate, to aid in the refinement of said articulation, and to serve as ‘probes’ to draw comment and critique.

Can options be used to enhance equity returns: evidence from Australia
Creators: name: Mugwagwa, Tafadzwa
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The start of the 21st century witnessed the rejuvenation of structured financial products that date back to the early 1970s. Since 2000, the derivatives market has experienced significant growth as interest in structured financial products has increased substantially. Despite this strong growth, both in Australia and globally, recent evidence shows a lack of interest from investment managers in utilising derivatives. To this effect, the Australian Stock Exchange has undertaken a number of initiatives to raise the awareness of opportunities for investors in the options market. This thesis aims to contribute to the literature on structured financial products and assist investors in examining opportunities in the Australian options market.
This thesis investigates a number of structured financial products in particular: the buy–write strategy and extreme portfolio trading strategies. It first examines the performance of the buy–write option strategy on the Australian Stock Exchange and analyses whether such an investment opportunity violates the efficient market hypothesis on the basis of its risk and returns. The study investigates the relation between buy–write portfolios returns and past trading volume and other fundamental financial factors, including dividend yield, firm size, book-to-market ratio, earnings per share, price earnings ratio, and value stocks within these portfolios. It also tests the profitability of the buy–write strategy during bull and bear markets.
The thesis next examines extreme portfolio trading strategies. It investigates the profitability of equity, call, and put option-based extreme portfolio trading strategies on the Australian Stock Exchange and analyses whether they generate consistent abnormal returns. It also analyses the relation between equity- and option-based extreme portfolio returns and different financial fundamentals, as well as the performance of extreme portfolio trading strategies during different market conditions.
As far as the buy–write strategy is concerned, the results of this study are consistent with the literature. This thesis determines that the buy–write strategy offers superior risk-adjusted returns for low levels of out-of-the-moneyness; however, it notes contrary evidence for deeper out-of-the-money portfolios. In line with other Australian buy–write strategy studies, this study also finds an Australian preference for options with a maturity of around three months. It shows that quarterly rebalancing periods offer better returns for the buy–write strategy. This study’s empirical results on extreme portfolio trading strategies are consistent with the literature, demonstrating that applying options in extreme portfolio strategies is profitable in Australia and that options can be used to enhance equity contrarian strategy profits.

Towards exploring future landscapes using augmented reality
Creators: name: Feuerherdt, Craig
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: With increasing pressure to better manage the environment many government and private organisations are studying the relationships between social, economic and environmental factors to determine how they can best be optimised for increased sustainability. The analysis of such relationships are undertaken using computer-based Integrated Catchment Models (ICM).

These models are capable of generating multiple scenarios depicting alternative land use alternatives at a variety of temporal and spatial scales, which present (potentially) better Triple-Bottom Line (TBL) outcomes than the prevailing situation. Dissemination of this data is (for the most part) reliant on traditional, static map products however, the ability of such products to display the complexity and temporal aspects is limited and ultimately undervalues both the knowledge incorporated in the models and the capacity of stakeholders to disseminate the complexities through other means.

Geovisualization provides tools and methods for disseminating large volumes of spatial (and associated non-spatial) data. Virtual Environments (VE) have been utilised for various aspects of landscape planning for more than a decade. While such systems are capable of visualizing large volumes of data at ever-increasing levels of realism, they restrict the users ability to accurately perceive the (virtual) space. Augmented Reality (AR) is a visualization technique which allows users freedom to explore a physical space and have that space augmented with additional, spatially referenced information.

A review of existing mobile AR systems forms the basis of this research. A theoretical mobile outdoor AR system using Common-Of-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware and open-source software is developed. The specific requirements for visualizing land use scenarios in a mobile AR system were derived using a usability engineering approach known as Scenario-Based Design (SBD). This determined the elements required in the user interfaces resulting in the development of a low-fidelity, computer-based prototype. The prototype user interfaces were evaluated using participants from two targeted stakeholder groups undertaking hypothetical use scenarios. Feedback from participants was collected using the cognitive walk-through technique and supplemented by evaluator observations of participants physical actions.

Results from this research suggest that the prototype user interfaces did provide the necessary functionality for interacting with land use scenarios. While there were some concerns about the potential implementation of "yet another" system, participants were able to envisage the benefits of visualizing land use scenario data in the physical environment.

description: The inflammatory response plays an important role in the pathophysiology of multiple injuries. This study examines the effects of severe trauma and inflammatory response on markers of neuronal damage. A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data in 445 trauma patients (Injury Severity Score (ISS) ≥ 16) is provided. Levels of neuronal biomarkers (calcium-binding Protein B (S100b), Enolase2 (NSE), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)) and Interleukins (IL-6, IL-10) in severely injured patients (with polytrauma (PT)) without traumatic brain injury (TBI) or with severe TBI (PT+TBI) and patients with isolated TBI (isTBI) were measured upon arrival until day 5. S100b, NSE, GFAP levels showed a time-dependent decrease in all cohorts. Their expression was higher after multiple injuries (p = 0.038) comparing isTBI. Positive correlation of marker level after concomitant TBI and isTBI (p = 0.001) was noted, while marker expression after PT appears to be independent. Highest levels of IL-6 and -10 were associated to PT und lowest to isTBI (p < 0.001). In all groups pro-inflammatory response (IL-6/-10 ratio) peaked on day 2 and at a lower level on day 4. Severe TBI modulates kinetic profile of inflammatory response by reducing interleukin expression following trauma. Potential markers for neuronal damage have a limited diagnostic value after severe trauma because undifferentiated increase.

description: Es wird angenommen, dass das Ausmaß an Kunstverständnis Einfluss auf die visuelle Reizverarbeitung und die Herausbildung von Wahrnehmungspräferenzen nimmt. In einer Doppeltestung, im Abstand einer Woche, wurden 18 KunststudentInnen und 18 PsychologiestudentInnen aufgefordert, Präferenzurteile zu einer Auswahl von sechs Bildersets, zu jeweils 30 Bildern, abzugeben (Fotografien: Natur gegenüber künstlich geschaffener Umwelt; Klassische Malerei: Natur gegenüber künstlich geschaffener Umwelt; Moderne Malerei: gegenständlich gegenüber abstrakt). Die Annahme, Naturdarstellungen würden auf den Betrachter ansprechender wirken als Darstellungen künstlich geschaffener Umwelten, traf lediglich auf die Gruppe der Kunstlaien zu. Weiters zeigte sich eine Abnahme der Präferenz für Moderne Abstrakte Kunst in der Gruppe der Experten zum zweiten Testzeitpunkt und eine tendenziell geringere Übereinstimmung hinsichtlich ihrer Präferenzurteile über alle Bildersets hinweg. Die Existenz universell gültiger ästhetischer Prinzipien konnte in dieser Studie nicht bestätigt werden und die Ausbildung von Urteilspräferenzen scheint vor allem bei Kunstexperten eine stark individuelle Komponente zu beinhalten.
Federal Character Principles: Its Impact and Challenges In Nigeria

description:  Abstract

Studies revealed that no nation can attain development for the enhancement of the living standards of the people without a public service that is well organized to implement government policies. As a result, federal character principles in Nigeria represents equitable representation of individuals in the civil service and prevent the dominance of persons from a few states or ethnic groups in the workplace or political governance Nigeria. The principle is often poorly implemented in Nigeria as enshrined in the constitution, making enforcement difficult and the commission tasked with enforcing the principles lacks the power to impose sanctions or violation. With regard to these, the paper examined federal character principles, impact and challenges in Nigeria public service. With the adoption and analysis of secondary method of data generation, the study observed that the implementation of the federal character principle in Nigerian public service tends to encourage unethical behaviour amongst public officials as it circumscribes merit in the area of manpower procurement and promotion. The study concludes that for Nigerian public service to achieve its mandate of facilitating development, there is need for the government to reappraise the implementation of the federal character principles through the enforcement of merit, anchored on public service reform initiatives that can galvanize human capacity and governmental institutions for sustainable development.Keywords: Federal character principle, administrative effectiveness, development, public service
Investigating privacy issues in mobile messaging through a role playing game

Year: 2024

description: When internet-mediated messaging and social networking applications were introduced in mobile phones, mobile messaging entered a new paradigm. Users can easily create profiles and communicate with other users instantly at anytime of day and anywhere in the world. This paradigm however, has brought forward new privacy issues.

Over the course of this exegesis I aimed to explore different aspects of privacy issues related to mobile messaging, including users' awareness and the control of the privacy issues when using social networking messaging. This was demonstrated by conducting a project, which involved development of a mobile phone application and a role-playing game. The project created a frictional scenario of users communicating via mobile messaging. My research revealed that the participants lacked awareness of privacy violations when using mobile messaging, and tended not to modify their behaviours immediately when privacy breaches arose.

This research contributes to the existing body of research in the area of mobile messaging privacy, and advocated user awareness of privacy issues in this domain. It could potentially be used as a base for future research.

description: Objective This study provides a comprehensive overview of the associations of five adipokines (adiponectin, chemerin, galectin‐3, leptin, and resistin) with fat deposits, behavioral risk factors, and metabolic phenotypes. Methods Using multivariable linear and logistic regression models, cross‐sectional data from 4,116 participants of the population‐based Study of Health in Pomerania were analyzed. Results Participants with obesity showed higher chemerin, galectin‐3, and leptin but showed lower adiponectin concentrations. Independently of other fat compounds, liver fat content, visceral adipose tissue, and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) were inversely associated with adiponectin. Independent positive associations of liver fat content and SAT with chemerin as well as of SAT with galectin‐3 and leptin were observed. Physically inactive participants had higher chemerin and leptin concentrations. Smokers had higher chemerin and galectin‐3 as well as lower leptin. Alcohol consumption was associated with adiponectin (positive) and resistin (inverse). All adipokines were associated with at least one lipid marker. Associations with glucose metabolism were seen for adiponectin, chemerin, galectin‐3, and leptin. Conclusions High adiponectin concentrations were related to favorable metabolic conditions, whereas high chemerin, galectin‐3, and leptin were associated with an unfavorable metabolic profile. High leptin seems to be primarily indicative of obesity, whereas high adiponectin and chemerin are associated with a broader range of metabolic phenotypes.

Kinase chemical probe

description: SGC-GAK-1 is presented as a chemical probe for the understudied cyclin G associated kinase (GAK). SGC-GAK-1 is potent and shows submicromolar cellular target engagement with GAK. The compound shows > 30-fold selectivity relative to all other kinases profiled with the exception of RIPK2. A closely related molecule that is significantly less potent with GAK, SGC-GAK-1N, is included as a negative control. In addition, a compound having potent activity at RIPK2 but not GAK, HY-19764, is offered to control for the activity of RIPK2.

Utilising plant growth-promoting bacteria for potential use in the remediation and stabilisation of heavy metal contaminated and saline land
Creators: name: Seraj, MD Ferdous
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Anthropogenic activities, such as mining of natural resources, manufacturing industries, modern agricultural practices and energy production, have resulted in the release of heavy metals with resultant harmful impacts in some natural environments. Heavy metals do not decompose into less harmful substances and are retained in the soil and thus it is important that heavy metal contaminated sites are remediated. Bioremediation of contaminated soils shows potential over conventional approaches as it is economical and does not produce harmful by products. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can improve plant growth via a variety of mechanism including fixing atmospheric N to improve N status and making plants more tolerant of heavy metals.

New development of the inclusive-cone-based method for linear optimization
Creators: name: Ding, Ming-Fang
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The purpose of this dissertation is to present a simple method for linear optimization including linear programming and linear semi-infinite programming, which is termed “the inclusive-cone-based method”. Using the inclusive cone as an analytic tool, theoretical aspects of linear programming are investigated. Sensitivity analysis in linear programming is examined from the perspective of an inclusive cone. The relationship of inclusiveness between correlated linear programming problems is also studied. New inclusive-cone-based ladder algorithms are proposed to solve linear programming problems in inequality form. Numerical experiments are implemented to show effectiveness and efficiency of the new linear programming ladder algorithms. To start the ladder method for linear programming problems, a single artificial constraint technique is introduced to find an initial ladder. Further, in the context of a new category of linear programming problems, an inclusive-cone-based solvability criterion is established to distinguish that a linear programming problem is inclusive-feasible (i.e., optimal), noninclusive-feasible (i.e., unbounded), inclusive-infeasible or noninclusive-infeasible. The inclusive-cone-based method for linear programming is also generalized to linear semi-infinite programming. An optimality result, based upon the concept of the generalized base point, is established. With this optimality result as a theoretical foundation, a ladder algorithm for solving linear semi-infinite programming problems is developed. The new algorithm has several features: at each iteration it only deals with a small fraction of constraints; at each iteration it selects a constraint most violated along a “parameterized centreline”, by solving a one-dimensional global optimization problem using the efficient bridging algorithm; at each iteration the selection of the incoming constraint has a great degree of freedom, which is controlled by a parameter arising in the global optimization problem; it can detect infeasibility and unboundedness after a finite number of iterations; it obviates extra work for feasibility verification as it handles feasibility and optimality simultaneously. A simple convergent result is presented. Numerical behaviour of the algorithm is examined on several test problems.
