description: The experimental study presented in this paper aims at investigating the influence of mechanically activated Al-Mg powders on the burning behavior of ADN-based composite propellants. Three different powders were employed: a non-treated blend of Al and Mg and two others batches produced with different intensities of the activation process. As binder, hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) was used, with and without the metal fuel. The propellants were tested in a window bomb pressurized by nitrogen. The burning rate was measured over a pressure range from 4 to 13 MPa using a digital high-speed video camera. The temperatures of the hot gases and particles were derived from the emission spectra in the UV/Vis/NIR range. Along with the burning behavior and the powders characterization, the agglomeration phenomena are also discussed. The investigated propellants featured a pressure exponent ranging from 0.65 to 0.87, with a relatively low flame temperature. The results have evidenced that the influence of the Al-Mg mixture cannot be correlated to that of the individual metals, while the activation treatment exerts a strong effect on the propellants ballistics.

Dissecting the feminine. Representations of female consciousness in Marie Darrieussecq's 'A brief stay with the living' and Jacinta Halloran's 'Dissection': an analysis of narrative voice
Creators: name: Halloran, Jacinta
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Volume One, the adult literary novel, Dissection, is a portrayal of the inner world of Anna McBride, a female GP who has been sued for medical negligence. The novel spans the three-month period prior to Anna's mediation meeting with a young male patient, now the plaintiff, and his mother. Central to the writing of Dissection is the rendering of the consciousness of a woman who, in the wake of what she perceives to be a grave error of judgement, unflinchingly questions her worth and her relationships with others.

Volume Two, the exegesis, examines various literary techniques (autonomous monologue, narrated monologue and communal narration) used in the representation of the consciousness of female characters in Marie Darrieussecq's 'A brief stay with the living' and Jacinta Halloran's 'Dissection'. With reference to the work of narratologists, Susan Lanser and Dorrit Cohn, these literary techniques are analysed in the context of two contemporary novels that seek to represent women's inner lives.

description: Main positions of the mathematical model of smoke oxide particles (SOPs) formation at the burning surface of condensed system are developed. The model includes description of SOPs formation during burning of non-agglomerating metal in gas phase near surface of the burning condensed system, and during burning of metal of agglomerating particles on the surface of skeleton layer. Results and perspectives of using the model are considered for two different condensed systems (based on active binder and based on ammonium nitrate), which produce SOPs mostly during realization of one of the mentioned mechanisms. A comparison of numerical and experimental results has allowed to make a conclusion about their satisfactory agreement. An analysis of the model allows to create a base for its future modernization and application.

Malaysian batik sarongs: a study of tradition and change
Creators: name: Legino, Rafeah
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: In Malaysia, batik sarongs were introduced from the Island of Java. The batik technique is a continuous tradition, which contributed new decorative techniques for fabric printing. Sarongs were adapted as common comfortable clothing and were suitable for the tropical climate.

Malaysian batik makers began to make their own sarongs to meet the demand of the local market and over time developed their own expression of the art form. Malaysian batik was influenced by its location, history and cultural diversity. The position of batik in art and culture was interrelated to the issues of cultural development in the country.

This research explores the preservation and maintenance of batik sarongs as an integral part of the textile cultural heritage. The specific focus of this study is on traditional batik sarongs produced in Malaysia with their design characteristics identified. The overview of related literature examined models of analysis of textiles − such as kimonos, shawls, saris and Javanese batik sarongs − to organize this research. These provided important interpretive tools for cataloguing the fabric designs.

Documents and pictures of batik sarongs were selected from the earliest records made by Malaysian and foreign writers. A diverse range of samples of Malaysian traditional batik sarongs were viewed, photographed and catalogued. They were gathered from personal collections, museums, and galleries in Malaysia. In addition, samples of Malay batik sarongs were sourced from museums and galleries in Singapore, Jakarta and Melbourne.

In this research, I was able to draw directly on my experience with Malay traditional batik sarongs, which I have worn every day and collected over the years. A digital camera and scanner were the primary tools used in documenting the batik motifs that came from drawings, slides, photographs or actual samples. The digital images were important in the process of tracing, which was aided by the use of Adobe Illustrator© software.

The drawings from the tracing were used to analyse the characteristics of design layout and motifs to show their complexity, influences and development. The photos and tracing method assisted in cataloguing batik archival data to be stored in cultural heritage organizations. These significant design influences have impacted on the clothing traditions and craft techniques in Malaysia. Moreover, the implementation of the national cultural policy identified key characteristics in Malaysian batik design, and promotes batik makers to adhere to design principles as a form of maintaining national heritage and to avoid disputes over cultural ownership.

The research recommends ways to study Malaysian traditional batik sarongs and improve the conservation quality, while safeguarding the textile heritage.
Software design metrics for predicting maintainability of service-oriented software
Creators: name: Perepletchikov, Mikhail
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: As the pace of business change increases, service-oriented (SO) solutions should facilitate easier maintainability as underlying business logic and rules change. To date, little effort has been dedicated to considering how the structural properties of coupling and cohesion may impact on the maintainability of SO software products. Moreover, due to the unique design characteristics of Service-Oriented Computing (SOC), existing Procedural and Object-Oriented (OO) software metrics are not sufficient for the accurate measurement of service-oriented design structures.

This thesis makes a contribution to the field of SOC, and Software Engineering in general, by proposing and evaluating a suite of design-level coupling and cohesion metrics for predicting the maintainability of service-oriented software products early in the Software Development LifeCycle (SDLC). The proposed metrics can provide the following benefits: i) facilitate design decisions that could lead to the specification of quality SO designs that can be maintained more easily; ii) identify design problems that can potentially have a negative effect on the maintainability of existing service-oriented design structures; and iii) support more effective control of maintainability in the earlier stages of SDLC.

More specifically, the following research was conducted as part of this thesis:
- A formal mathematical model covering the structural and behavioural properties of service-oriented system design was specified.
- Software metrics were defined in a precise, unambiguous, and formal manner using the above model.
- The metrics were theoretically validated and empirically evaluated in order to determine the success of this thesis as follows:
a. Theoretical validation was based on the property-based software engineering measurement framework. All the proposed metrics were deemed as theoretically valid.
b. Empirical evaluation employed a controlled experimental study involving ten participants who performed a range of maintenance tasks on two SO systems developed (and measured using the proposed metrics) specifically for this study. The majority of the experimental outcomes compared favourably with our expectations and hypotheses. More specifically, the results indicated that most of the proposed metrics can be used to predict the maintainability of service-oriented software products early in the SDLC, thereby providing evidence for the validity and potential usefulness of the derived metrics. Nevertheless, a broader range of industrial scale experiments and analyses are required to fully demonstrate the practical applicability of the metrics. This has been left to future work.
Critical success factors for knowledge transfer via Australian and Malaysian government education websites: a comparative case study
Creators: name: Azizan, Nurdiana
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The transfer of knowledge pertaining to government is central to the success of e-government websites. The purpose of this research is to investigate how Australian and Malaysian government website providers perceive the critical success factors (CSFs) for the transfer of knowledge from government to users (citizens, business entities, employees and other government agencies) via Australian and Malaysian government education websites. CSFs are defined as “the limited number of areas in which results, if satisfactory, will ensure successful competitive performance for the organization” (Rockart 1979, p. 5). It has been recognised that there are generally a small number of such attributes that, if performed well, will create opportunities for success (King 2001).  Knowledge transfer (KT) is defined as a process that includes “any exchange of knowledge between or among individuals, teams, groups or organizations” (King 2006, p. 538). It is the process by which knowledge is transmitted to, and absorbed by, users. Knowledge in this research is scoped to include government knowledge resources (information and services) made explicit and available to users via government websites. A failure by organisations to appreciate and facilitate KT via this means can adversely affect the time spent by those seeking knowledge, increase the costs associated with KT errors, and result in an inadequate flow of essential knowledge to recipients. The research applies content analysis techniques to analyse qualitative data that were collected using interview and focus group techniques. Szulanski’s KT model was adapted as a lens to study CSFs. The model consists of four stages: initiation; implementation; ramp-up; and integration. Based upon analysis of interviews and focus groups, 11 and 14 CSFs were identified by respondents from Australia and Malaysia, respectively.  Points of similarity and difference were highlighted and discussed. The CSFs identified at each organisation were grouped into six themes: management role, user focus, employee focus, content focus, technology focus and organisational culture. The relevance of CSFs to each of the four KT stages (initiation, implementation, ramp-up and integration) was also mapped. The research provides guidance to practitioners, arguing that identifying and understanding the CSFs can support government website providers when taking decisions related to the direction of their website’s content development and delivery activities, thus enhancing their capacity to deliver requisite knowledge to website users.

description: Collective neutrino oscillations are typically studied using the lowest-order quantum kinetic equation, also known as the mean-field approximation. However, some recent quantum many-body simulations suggest that quantum entanglement among neutrinos may be important and may result in flavor equilibration of the neutrino gas. In this work, we develop new quantum models for neutrino gases in which any pair of neutrinos can interact at most once in their lifetimes. A key parameter of our models is $γ=μΔz$, where $μ$ is the neutrino coupling strength, which is proportional to the neutrino density, and $Δz$ is the duration over which a pair of neutrinos can interact each time. Our models reduce to the mean-field approach in the limit $γ\to0$ and achieve flavor equilibration in time $t \gg (γμ)^{-1}$. These models demonstrate the emergence of coherent flavor oscillations from the particle perspective and may help elucidate the role of quantum entanglement in collective neutrino oscillations.

description: High-order Godunov methods for gas dynamics have become a standard tool for simulating different classes of astrophysical flows. Their accuracy is mostly determined by the spatial interpolant used to reconstruct the pair of Riemann states at cell interfaces and by the Riemann solver that computes the interface fluxes. In most Godunov-type methods, these two steps can be treated independently, so that many different schemes can in principle be built from the same numerical framework. In this work, we use our fully compressible Seven-League Hydro (SLH) code to test the accuracy of six reconstruction methods and three approximate Riemann solvers on two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) problems involving subsonic flows only. We consider Mach numbers in the range from $10^{-3}$ to $10^{-1}$ in a well-posed, 2D, Kelvin--Helmholtz instability problem and a 3D turbulent convection zone that excites internal gravity waves in an overlying stable layer. We find that (i) there is a spread of almost four orders of magnitude in computational cost per fixed accuracy between the methods tested in this study, with the most performant method being a combination of a "low-dissipation" Riemann solver and a sextic reconstruction scheme, (ii) the low-dissipation solver always outperforms conventional Riemann solvers on a fixed grid when the reconstruction scheme is kept the same, (iii) in simulations of turbulent flows, increasing the order of spatial reconstruction reduces the characteristic dissipation length scale achieved on a given grid even if the overall scheme is only second order accurate, (iv) reconstruction methods based on slope-limiting techniques tend to generate artificial, high-frequency acoustic waves during the evolution of the flow, (v) unlimited reconstruction methods introduce oscillations in the thermal stratification near the convective boundary, where the entropy gradient is steep.

Biogas from trade waste and sludges in Melbourne's west
Creators: name: Woon, Sabrina
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Many abattoirs, renderers and food manufactures have installed screens and dissolved air flotation (DAF) units to comply with City West Water’s controlled trade waste concentration limits. The installation of screens and DAF units resulted in large quantities of screenings and sludge, which are then transported to a landfill for disposal. Hence, the aims of this Masters were to investigate the potential of different wastes for biogas production and to evaluate selected AD processes, as alternative technologies for the treatment of these wastes. The criteria for AD processes evaluation included, biogas quantity and quality, digestate and supernatant quality. Process configurations studied included batch, conventional (i.e. single stage, mesophilic), two-stage AD (TSAD) and two-phase AD (TPAD). The processes were monitored for the effect of operation factors such as organic loadings, temperature and hydraulic retention time (HRT). To conclude, AD of pre-DAF using TPAD showed biogas yield of 0.54 m3 biogas/kg VSadded, which are comparable to those obtained for degradable organic wastes. The AD of DAF-sludge using TPAD was more effective than using conventional AD. On the other hand CODt and TS removal both using TPAD and conventional AD were in the range of 19-31% and 45 to 62%, which is low. It is recommended that pre-treatment of DAF-sludge is investigated to enhance its degradability to the recommended removal rate.

description: Researchers have invested much effort in the understanding of acculturation-relevant factors that influence immigrants’ psychological and socio-cultural adaptation. Factors that might have an impact on immigrants’ product consumption decisions have comparatively received scarce attention by acculturation and marketing researchers. Immigrants show different product consumption patterns and therefore constitute big consumer groups that can have an impact on both the economy of immigrants’ culture of origin and the host society. The present study investigated Turkish immigrants’ product consumption ethnocentrism. The sample consisted of 599 youth and adult Turkish in Germany drawn from Cologne, the city with the highest ratio of Turkish people in the country. The study sample represented a very similar demographic make-up of the Turkish people in Cologne. The associations between acculturation strategies, loyalty to religion, and product consumption ethnocentrism were quantitatively analyzed based on a field survey. Research findings indicated that participants in the acculturation mode of separation scored significantly higher for consumer ethnocentrism than those showing other orientations, and those with an assimilation orientation scored the least for consumer ethnocentrism. Among the three religiosity dimensions (behavioral, emotional, cognitive) investigated in the present study, analyses controlling for a range of socio-demographic variables revealed a positive relationship between the behavior dimension of religiosity and consumer ethnocentrism.

description: Nuclear regions of ultraluminous and luminous infrared galaxies (U/LIRGs) are powered by starbursts and/or active galactic nuclei (AGNs). These regions are often obscured by extremely high columns of gas and dust. Molecular lines in the submillimeter windows have the potential to determine the physical conditions of these compact obscured nuclei (CONs). We aim to reveal the distributions of HCN and HCO$^+$ emission in local U/LIRGs and investigate whether and how they are related to galaxy properties. Using ALMA, we have conducted sensitive observations of the HCN J=3--2 and HCO$^+$ J=3--2 lines toward 23 U/LIRGs in the local Universe (z < 0.07) with a spatial resolution of ~0.3" (~50--400 pc). We detected both HCN and HCO$^+$ in 21 galaxies, only HCN in one galaxy, and neither in one galaxy. The global HCN/HCO$^+$ line ratios, averaged over scales of ~0.5--4 kpc, range from 0.4 to 2.3, with an unweighted mean of 1.1. These line ratios appear to have no systematic trend with bolometric AGN luminosity or star formation rate. The line ratio varies with position and velocity within each galaxy, with an average interquartile range of 0.38 on a spaxel-by-spaxel basis. In eight out of ten galaxies known to have outflows and/or inflows, we found spatially and kinematically symmetric structures of high line ratios. These structures appear as a collimated bicone in two galaxies and as a thin spherical shell in six galaxies. Non-LTE analysis suggests that the high HCN/HCO$^+$ line ratio in outflows is predominantly influenced by the abundance ratio. Chemical model calculations indicate that the enhancement of HCN abundance in outflows is likely due to high-temperature chemistry triggered by shock heating. These results imply that the HCN/HCO$^+$ line ratio can aid in identifying the outflow geometry when the shock velocity of the outflows is sufficiently high to heat the gas.

description: One of the most frequently used indicators to characterize the magnetic field's influence on star formation is the relation between magnetic field strength and gas density ($B-ρ$ relation), usually expressed as $B \propto ρ^κ$. The value of $κ$ is an indication of the dynamical importance of the magnetic field during gas compression. Investigating the global magnetic field's impact on this relation and its evolution, we conduct MHD simulations of Milky-Way-like galaxies including gravity, star formation, and supernova feedback along with non-equilibrium chemistry up to $H_2$ formation fueling star formation. Two initial magnetic field morphologies are studied: one completely ordered (toroidal) and the other completely random. In these models, we study the dynamical importance of the magnetic field through the plasma $β$ and the $B-ρ$ relation. For both magnetic morphologies, low-density regions are thermally supported, while high-density regions are magnetically dominated. Equipartition is reached earlier and at lower densities in the toroidal model. However, the $B-ρ$ relation is not unique even within the same galaxy, as it consistently includes two different branches for a given density, with $κ$ ranging from about 0.2 to 0.8. The mean value of $κ$ for each model also displays significant variations over time, which supersede the differences between the two models. While our findings suggest that the magnetic field morphology does influence the galactic $B-ρ$ relation, its impact is transient, since time-averaged differences between the models fall within the large temporal scatter. The context and time-dependent nature of the $B-ρ$ relation underscore the need for comprehensive research and observations to understand the intricate role of magnetic fields in star formation processes across diverse galactic environments.

description: Longitudinal high frequency combustion instability is the focus of the present work with particular attention to the CVRC single element combustor, characterized by the variable length of the oxidizer post. Three different geometrical configurations of CVRC combustor are examined and simulated through a quasi-1D Eulerian model, considering three different lengths of the post. The obtained flow field in the three cases is discussed and the limit cycle is described for all the configurations. Qualitative agreement with high fidelity numerical data and experimental data in the literature is obtained, showing marginal instability for the short post configuration and instability for the intermediate and long post. A detailed comparison of limit cycle obtained with high fidelity simulations and quasi-1D analysis is carried out, showing that the latter is characterized by pressure waves of higher intensisty.

description: Generative AI tools can provide people with the ability to create virtual environments and scenes with natural language prompts. Yet, how people will formulate such prompts is unclear -- particularly when they inhabit the environment that they are designing. For instance, it is likely that a person might say, "Put a chair here", while pointing at a location. If such linguistic features are common to people's prompts, we need to tune models to accommodate them. In this work, we present a wizard-of-oz elicitation study with 22 participants, where we studied people's implicit expectations when verbally prompting such programming agents to create interactive VR scenes. Our findings show that people prompt with several implicit expectations: (1) that agents have an embodied knowledge of the environment; (2) that agents understand embodied prompts by users; (3) that the agents can recall previous states of the scene and the conversation, and that (4) agents have a commonsense understanding of objects in the scene. Further, we found that participants prompt differently when they are prompting in situ (i.e. within the VR environment) versus ex situ (i.e. viewing the VR environment from the outside). To explore how our could be applied, we designed and built Oastaad, a conversational programming agent that allows non-programmers to design interactive VR experiences that they inhabit. Based on these explorations, we outline new opportunities and challenges for conversational programming agents that create VR environments.

description: To efficiently and directly display the relationship between causes and consequence of the aviation accident, the constructing method of aviation accident\'s Bow-tie model are provided. Using the probabilities of basic events and control events in the model, the computational methodology is suggested to compute the possibility of each consequence, which can present the quantitative relation between hazards and consequences of the aviation accident. After the merits and demerits were analyzed, the traditional important measures are extended to the aviation accident importance analysis. Based on that, a new kind of aviation accident important measure is proposed, and its solution are suggested as well. Finally, the feasibility and property of the proposed measure and suggested solution are testified by the example of tire burst accident.

description: The ability to extract material parameters of perovskite from quantitative experimental analysis is essential for rational design of photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications. However, the difficulty of this analysis increases significantly with the complexity of the theoretical model and the number of material parameters for perovskite. Here we use Bayesian optimization to develop an analysis platform that can extract up to 8 fundamental material parameters of an organometallic perovskite semiconductor from a transient photoluminescence experiment, based on a complex full physics model that includes drift-diffusion of carriers and dynamic defect occupation. An example study of thermal degradation reveals that the carrier mobility and trap-assisted recombination coefficient are reduced noticeably, while the defect energy level remains nearly unchanged. The reduced carrier mobility can dominate the overall effect on thermal degradation of perovskite solar cells by reducing the fill factor, despite the opposite effect of the reduced trap-assisted recombination coefficient on increasing the fill factor. In future, this platform can be conveniently applied to other experiments or to combinations of experiments, accelerating materials discovery and optimization of semiconductor materials for photovoltaics and other applications.

description: Crystal engineering of three (3D) and two (2D) dimensional crystalline materials can be used for a wide range of applications, such as in drug delivery systems, electronics, energy and catalysis. Alteration of the crystal struc- ture, morphology, orientation, and dimensionality is highly desirable given that different crystalline structures of the same molecule has a direct influence on its physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. In this study we report the first instance of the use of a high frequency acoustomicrofluidic platform, in the MegaHertz (MHz) scale, for production and tuning an array of crystal properties including crystal morphology, polymorphism, orienta tion, and dimensionality. We first demonstrate a novel acoustically-driven micronization platform, which, due to its unique ability to access intermediate evaporation regimes (on the order of 10^-5 l/h), is capable of producing novel crystal structures and morphologies of 3D crystals in both model in- organic and organic systems that have yet to be reported. Later on, we report a high frequency acoustically-driven microcentrifugation platform that facilitates fast convective solutal transport, allowing freestanding MOF crys- tals to be synthesized in as short as 5 minutes. The crystals were not only highly oriented due to long-range out-of-plane superlattice ordering aided by molecular dipole polarization under the acoustoelectric coupling, but also simultaneously activated during the synthesis process. Furthermore, we move on to illustrate the ability to produce 2D crystals from their layered 3D bulk counterparts using a unique ultrafast solvent-free two-step multiscale exfoliation mechanism that exploits the piezoelectric nature of a number of these materials to trigger electrically-induced mechanical failure across weak grain boundaries associated with the crystal domain planes. In particular, we demonstrate that microfluidic nebulisation using high frequency acoustic waves exposes a bulk 3D crystalline piezoelectric material such as molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) to a combination of extraordinarily large mechanical acceleration ( 10^8 m/s2) and electric fields ( 10^8 V/m) such that they are rapidly cleaved into nanosheets that predominantly comprise single layers, thus constituting a continuous, rapid and high throughput chip-scale method that opens new possibilities for scalable production and spray coating.
