description: The objective of this research is to contribute to the understanding of why significant annual public expenditure over the past five decades has failed to significantly and sustainably improve the socioeconomic status of Indigenous Australians. The reasons are numerous but the enduring nature of the failure points to the possibility that there are systemic public administration problems. Following this hypothesis, the relationship between the quality of public administration of the Indigenous affairs system and its capacity to realise the desired socioeconomic improvements is explored. The thesis comprises a case study of a five-year national project to reform the Indigenous affairs system, which was implemented under the direct authority of the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) between 2002-2007. The COAG Indigenous Whole-of-Government Trials Project (the COAG Trials Project), as it was known, required Commonwealth, State and Territory Government agencies to experiment with the provision of government services in eight trial regions (one in each State and Territory). The Governments were required to prioritise, plan and deliver services in each trial site through an approach that involved; 1) whole-of-government coordination, and 2) a partnership with the Indigenous communities. The focus of the case study is to analyse the quality of the public administration of the COAG Trials Project. Different analytical methods are applied to appraise the policy development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The data from the appraisals of the three stages is then discussed in order to generate wider inferences about the systemic impediments that may be hindering the efficiency and effectiveness of the Australian Indigenous affairs system.

description: The World Wide Web is a source of social encounter occurring over undefined distances. If physical parameters of social encounter are considered uncontrollable for studies in a natural setting, the internet world, when dissected philosophically with respect to physical witnessibility of engaged identities, provides a model in which distance is absent. Upon comparison of meaning in science method and theory as it is necessarily rooted to common perceptional experience, it is proposed that established criteria of virtual, real, and actual employed for description in internet studies not only constitute ‘world’, but ‘universe’in which the gap between the actual and virtual has a physical meaning. Philosophical analogy is made from a proposed universal model to theory proposed by Albert Einstein, Karl Popper and Thomas Kuhn and applied in an attempt to bridge conceptually the social and natural sciences. A release of identity-funding inhibition to the extension of the range of witness beyond the immediate environment, associated with cognitive generalization of phenomenon involving a null hypothesis, seen universally to singularly account for cognitive and behavioral trends towards modern times, is proposed to be the consequence of physical factors that are external to cultures. A universal ‘paradox of the injuring concept’is rendered in terms of a physical divide between the virtual and the actual.

description: This paper focuses on sharing and discussing efficient system design and architectural concepts developed and tested acquisition and processing of biomedical data in large-scale systems for medical monitoring and reasoning. A major area of the research included utilization of wearable and mobile technologies to enable the collection of high volumes of inertial and biomedical data used to support data fusion and decision-making algorithms as well as medical inferencing. Although medical diagnostics and decision algorithms have not been the main aim of the research, this preliminary phase was crucial to test the capabilities of existing off-the-shelf technologies and the functional responsibilities of the system’s logic components. Architecture variants contained several schemes for data processing moving the responsibility for signal feature extraction, data classification, and pattern recognition from wearable to mobile up to server facilities. Analysis of transmission and processing delays provided architecture variants pros and cons but most of all knowledge about possible applications in medical, military, and fitness domains. To construct, evaluate and test architectures, a set of alternative technology stacks was prepared and compared using and quantitative metrics. The major architecture characteristics (high availability, scalability, reliability) have been defined imposing asynchronous processing of sensor data, efficient data representation, iterative reporting, event-driven processing, and restricting pulling operations. Sensor data processing persists the original data on handhelds but is mainly aimed at extracting chosen set of signal features calculated for specific time windows – varying for analyzed signals and the sensor data acquisition rates. Long-term monitoring of patients required the development of mechanisms, which probe the patient and in case of detecting anomalies or dangerous characteristic changes tune the data acquisition process. This paper describes experiences connected with the design of scalable decision support tools and evaluation techniques for architectural concepts implemented within the mobile and server software.

description: Выдающийся журналист, редактор, писатель Иван Иванович Панаев являлся личностью, во многом определявшей характер литературно-журнальной жизни первой половины XIX века. Его деятельность многогранна, она включает в себя лирические стихотворения и стихотворные пародии, рассказы и очерки, критические статьи и заметки, публицистические отзывы и переводы. Однако писатель, стоявший, можно сказать, в самой гуще литературно-журнальной жизни, оказался вытесненным в научной литературе из череды деятелей, влияние которых общепризнанно. По большей части И.И.Панаев и упоминается только в связи с ними. Даже его деятельность по созданию нового «Современника» сводилась порою чуть ли не к только финансовому участию. Задачей автора статьи и является выяснить причины ухода И.И.Панаева — одной из выразительных фигур своего времени — на второй план  в литературно-журнальном мире.

description: In the digital age, the intersection of psychology and design is becoming increasingly significant as designers seek not only toenhance the aesthetic appeal of applications but also to profoundly influence user interaction and satisfaction. The design of a userinterface (UI) extends beyond mere functionality and visual appeal; it involves a nuanced understanding of human behavior andcognition. By integrating principles from cognitive and behavioral psychology into design processes, we can create interfaces thatare not only more intuitive and engaging but also more aligned with the psychological needs and expectations of users. This paperaims to explore the intricate relationship between psychological theories and design practices, particularly focusing on howcognitive load management, Gestalt principles, emotional design, and behavioral triggers can significantly impact user trust andsatisfaction. Drawing from a rich array of psychological research, the study examines the ways in which color, layout, and other UIelements influence user perception, decision-making, and emotional responses. Furthermore, it underscores the pivotal role ofpsychology in fulfilling users' intrinsic needs for motivation and wellbeing, as proposed by contemporary psychological studies. Byarticulating the relevance of these psychological insights in the realm of user interface design, this paper endeavors to providestrategic recommendations that can be employed to refine design workflows, thereby fostering environments that enhance userengagement and satisfaction. Through a meticulous analysis of existing literature and empirical studies, including pivotal researchpresented in Frontiers in Psychology, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on the symbiotic relationship betweenpsychology and design, setting the stage for future innovations in user-centric design methodologies.

description: Adsorption equilibrium, thermodynamics, and kinetics of CH4, N2, and CO2 were investigated by volumetric-chromatographic and inverse gas chromatographic (IGC) methods on the Al-BDC MOF. The binary adsorption data from the volumetric-chromatographic experiments represents that the Al-BDC MOF has a high CO2/CH4 selectivity ca. 11 and a CH4/N2 selectivity ca. 4.3 at 303 K, and appears to be a good candidate for the CH4 separation. The initial adsorption heats of CH4, N2, and CO2 on the Al-BDC MOF were determined to be 15.3, 11.5, and 32.2 kJmol−1 by IGC method, respectively. Moreover, the micropore diffusivities of N2, CH4 and CO2 in the Al-BDC MOF at 303 K were also estimated to be 1.58 × 10−7 cm2/s, 7.04 × 10−8 cm2/s, and 3.95 × 10−9 cm2/s, respectively. The results indicate that micropores play a crucial role in the adsorptive separation of the CH4/N2 and CH4/CO2 mixtures, and the IGC method is a validity manner to estimate the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of MOF adsorbents.

description: Drying of porous media is strictly governed by heat and mass transfer. However, contrary to the definition that drying is simultaneous transport mechanisms of heat and mass, most past and current models either account for temperature or concentration gradient effects on drying. Even though the complexity of computations of these processes varies with area of application, in most cases, the Dufour and Soret effects are neglected. This leads to deviations and uncertainties on the assumptions and interpretations of these and other relevant effects on drying. This paper covers the theoretical methods to derive the coupled transfer effects. In addition, this work proposes and formulates relevant heat and mass transfer equations, as well as the governing equations for drying processes with Dufour and Soret effects. The application of a numerical approach to solve the equations allows for studying of the influence of these effects on the design and operation of dryers. It is shown that the Soret effect can be highly relevant on drying operations with dynamic heating operation. While for drying processes where the steady state drying process predominates, the effect is deemed negligible.

Year: 2024

description: This study delves into the complexities of cross-cultural dynamics within multinational corporations, a topic that has risen to prominence in the field of international management. The focal point of this analysis is the critical examination of cross-cultural management in the context of the significant influx of foreign investment in China over recent decades. This influx has presented both managerial and cultural challenges, particularly evident in Sino-foreign joint ventures. Utilizing qualitative methods, this paper engages in a detailed document analysis and literature review, including a data table illustrating the surge of foreign investment in China and a figure depicting the actual amount of foreign capital utilized by these joint ventures. This methodological approach underscores the acceleration of China's economy within the global economic landscape and the consequent cultural adaptation necessity.The paper's key findings emphasize the indispensable role of cross-cultural management in facilitating effective operation inside multinational corporations, especially those with Sino-foreign joint ventures. It highlights the necessity for management strategies adept at navigating cultural differences, thereby ensuring efficient business practices in the face of economic globalization. The critical importance of resolving cultural conflicts is underscored as fundamental for smooth operations and successful interactions within such corporations. Additionally, the paper identifies the capacity of integrating diverse cultural perspectives and fostering an environment imbued with shared values as pivotal for enhancing employee performance.By articulating the significance of cross-cultural adjustment, cultural conflict, cultural integration, and shared values, this study contributes to a nuanced understanding of the managerial and cultural intricacies faced by multinational corporations operating in a global context. It sheds light on the essential strategies required to negotiate the complexities of cross-cultural management, thereby offering valuable insights for both scholars and practitioners in the field of international management.

description: Autotrophic nitrogen removal in the mainstream wastewater treatment process is suggested to be a prerequisite of energy autarkic wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). Whilst the application of anammox-related technologies in the side-stream is at present state of the art, the feasibility of this energy-efficient process at mainstream conditions is still under development. Lower operating temperature and ammonium concentration, together with required high nitrogen removal efficiency, represent the main challenges to face in order to reach this appealing new frontier of the wastewater treatment field. In this study, we report the evaluation of the process in a plug-flow granular sludge-based pilot-scale reactor (4 m3) continuously fed with the actual effluent of the A-stage of the WWTP of Dokhaven, Rotterdam. The one-stage partial nitritation–anammox system was operated for more than 10 months at 19 ± 1°C. Observed average N-removal and ammonium conversion rates were comparable or higher than those of conventional N-removal systems, with 182 ± 46 and 315 ± 33 mg-N L−1 d−1, respectively. Biochemical oxygen demand was also oxidized in the system with an average removal efficiency of 90%. Heterotrophic biomass grew preferentially in flocs and was efficiently washed out of the system. Throughout the experimentation, the main bottleneck was the nitritation process that resulted in nitrite-limiting conditions for the anammox conversion. Anammox bacteria were able to grow under mainstream WWTP conditions and new granules were formed and efficiently retained in the system.

description: The origin of the microcontinent VanDieland extends back to the late Paleoproterozoic, where it was positioned between East Antarctica and southwestern Laurentia, within the supercontinent Nuna and Rodinia. Paleo- to Mesoproterozoic events recorded in VanDieland have greater affinities with southwest Laurentia and East Antarctica, suggesting southern VanDieland was part of the Grenville Front, and the central Tasmanian part was adjacent to the Miller Range in the central Transantarctic Mountains. Late in the Neoproterozoic Rodinia break-up, VanDieland separated from East Antarctica and southwestern Laurentia, and moved north along the Terra Australis margin until its southern part was positioned next to the easternmost Robertson Bay Terrane of north Victoria Land. VanDieland comprises up to seven different crustal megaboudins or microcontinental ribbon terranes that likely had amalgamated by the end of the Cambrian; these ribbon terranes are bounded by major faults and suture zones. Some boundaries, such as the Arthur Metamorphic Complex, are well known. However, other boundaries, like the eastern edge of the Tyennan Zone, and the boundary between King Island and northwestern Tasmania, are more cryptic, as they are covered by younger geology or are under water. The boundaries are commonly defined by sedimentary and mafic volcanic infill that has been trapped between the crustal fragments. These rocks have previously been interpreted as allochthonous terranes but are more likely to represent inverted sections of attenuated transitional crust and back arc basin fill that formed along the eastern margin of the Gondwana plate during the Cambrian. This interpretation also provides an explanation for the previous tectonic analysis that suggests that Tasmania's mafic–ultramafic complexes were obducted westward onto older sequences and were subsequently transported southwards as other ribbons collided along the northeastern and western edges of the growing microcontinent, which existed in the overriding plate of a west-dipping subduction zone at the convergent margin between Gondwana and the proto-Pacific plate.

description: Large-scale groundwater contamination by arsenic (As) requires economical yet reliable analytical procedures to monitor the quality of well water and the effluent of As elimination processes. The silver diethyldithiocarbamate (AgDDTC) method provides the basis of a series of colourimetric tests used as a compromise between semi-quantitative field-test kits and expensive instrumental analytics. This study aimed at understanding the significant As overestimation by the AgDDTC method observed in landfill leachate samples. Results of the AgDDTC test were up to threefold the levels obtained by reference analyses. Overestimation broadly agreed with the time course of chemical oxygen demand and total phosphorus in the leachate. We hypothesised that the interference was caused by reduced P species or humic acid (HA), respectively. To test this, As-AgDDTC determinations from As standards were conducted with phosphonic (H3PO3) and phosphinic acid (H3PO2) as well as two commercial HA as matrix components. While H3PO3 showed no effect, H3PO2 in concentrations of 0.06 to 28 mg P L−1 yielded As recoveries of up to 130%. This was probably due to the evolution of phosphine (PH3) as suggested by the absorption spectra recorded after reacting pure PH3 with AgDDTC in pyridine. The HA in concentrations of 0.6–320 mg dissolved organic carbon L−1 gave As recoveries of up to 600%, possibly due to a chromophoric reaction of volatile HA digestion products formed during the reduction step. Significant As overestimation in the presence of the above-named compounds may require pre-oxidation of the samples. To recognise interference effects, the acquisition of full absorbance spectra may be recommendable in lieu of fixed wavelength analyses.

description: The Namib Desert is hyper-arid in terms of rainfall, but its ecology is influenced by frequent fog events. Fog utilisation by Namib biota has been well studied, but its role in nutrient deposition and cycling, particularly with respect to soil processes, still has open questions. Given its potential for distinguishing between various ecosystem components and fluxes, sulphur isotopic composition (δ34S) is evaluated here as a passive tracer of aerosol deposition and plant water sources in the Namib. Measurements of δ34S in Namib fog, groundwater, soils, plants and aerosols are presented and are consistent with the previously described system of sulphur cycling: primary marine sulphur accumulates as gypsum in the gravel plains and is redistributed by wind. Kuiseb River sediments had a wide range of δ34S values, with several samples that were quite depleted relative to soils, plants, groundwater and gypsum of the gravel plains. This depleted signal appears more commonly in the fine (0.5, 1.0 µm) rather than in the coarse (1.5, 7.6 µm) aerosol size fractions. Fog and aerosol δ34S values are consistent with local dust as a major sulphur source, limiting the utility of δ34S as a unique tracer of fog deposition. It can still provide useful information in certain situations. For example, the 16.5‰ δ34S value for the brackish groundwater at Hope Mine is distinct from the 10.2‰ value in Welwitschia mirabilis stem material at that site. This type of comparison could be one useful line of evidence in evaluating plant water sources.

description: The Kalman Filter is a widely used approach for the linear estimation of dynamical systems and is fre-quently employed within nuclear and particle physics experiments for the reconstruction of charged particletrajectories, known as tracks. Implementations of this formalism often make assumptions on the linearityof the underlying dynamic system and the Gaussian nature of the process noise, which is violated in manytrack reconstruction applications. This paper introduces an implementation of a Non-Linear Kalman Filter(NLKF) within the ACTS track reconstruction toolkit. The NLKF addresses the issue of non-linearity byusing a set of representative sample points during its track state propagation. In a typical use case, theNLKF outperforms an Extended Kalman Filter in the accuracy and precision of the track parameter esti-mates obtained, with the increase in CPU time below a factor of two. It is therefore a promising approachfor use in applications where precise estimation of track parameters is a key concern.

description: The transcriptome represents the complete set of RNA transcripts produced by the genome at any given time, reflecting the genes that are actively expressed in a particular cell type or condition. This dynamic repertoire not only provides insights into cellular functions but also reveals how environmental factors and developmental cues influence gene expression.

On the other hand, the proteome encompasses the full range of proteins synthesized by a cell, tissue, or organism, showcasing the end products of gene expression. Proteins, as the workhorses of the cell, are responsible for catalysing biochemical reactions, providing structural support, and mediating communication between cells.

description: This study evaluated the co-application of bacterial predation by Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus and either alum coagulation or powdered activated carbon adsorption to reduce fouling caused by Escherichia coli rich feed solutions in dead-end microfiltration tests. The flux increased when the samples were predated upon or treated with 100 ppm alum or PAC, but co-treatment with alum and predation gave the best flux results. The total membrane resistance caused by the predated sample was reduced six-fold when treated with 100 ppm PAC, from 11.8 to 1.98 × 1011 m−1, while irreversible fouling (Rp) was 2.7-fold lower. Treatment with 100 ppm alum reduced the total resistance 14.9-fold (11.8 to 0.79 × 1011 m−1) while the Rp decreased 4.25-fold. SEM imaging confirmed this, with less obvious fouling of the membrane after the combined process. This study illustrates that the combination of bacterial predation and the subsequent removal of debris using coagulation or adsorption mitigates membrane biofouling and improves membrane performance.

description: Geosynthetic-Encased sand columns (GECs) provide an effective alternative to
stone columns in very soft soils where stone columns are generally not considered viable.
Coastal and marine zones usually have layers of very soft to soft clays where the use of
GECs can be effective in ground improvement. With increasing depth of very soft to soft
clays (eg. up to 45m in Port Said, Egypt), the use of partially penetrating (i.e. floating)
columns can be cost-effective.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of partially penetrating
encased sand columns on the settlement, and bearing capacity. In addition, the
consolidation process, stress transfer mechanism, and developed hoop strains are
investigated through small-scale experimental model tests and numerical modelling.
Very soft clay was brought from the excavation works at the Port Said car tunnel, Port
Said, Egypt. The clay and sand properties were determined through laboratory testing.
The model testing was performed in a 2m long, 1m wide, 1m deep steel tank. The test
bed was prepared by placing the soft clay in layers. In each model test, four 0.05 m
diameter encased sand columns were placed by the displacement method at 0.125 m
spacing. A rigid footing was placed on top of the GECs. Loading was then applied
through a loading frame at constant load increments up to failure. The model tests were
monitored using LVDTs, a load cell, pressure plates, pore pressure transducers, and strain
gauges. The instrumentation was used to measure footing load and settlement, vertical
stresses transferred to the soil and columns, pore pressure generation and dissipation, and
hoop forces developed in the reinforcement. An experimental test for a partially
penetrating GEC was modeled using the 3D finite element program (Plaxis 3D) for
verification purpose. The experimental and numerical models were compared for
settlement, stress concentration, excess pore pressure generation and dissipation, and
hoop strains in the reinforcement.
Using GECs with penetrating length ratios of 1.0, 0.8, and 0.6 resulted in settlement
reductions of 82%, 80%, 68%, respectively, at a vertically applied load of 36 kPa. The
maximum hoop strain was observed at the top of the GECs. It is noticed that hoop strains
along the GEC were similar for the penetration ratios of 0.8 and 1.0, while the hoop
strains increased significantly at a penetration ratio of 0.6. The stress concentration
ratio (ratio of vertical stress on a column to vertical stress on surrounding soil) increases
with the decrease in column-penetrating ratio. Consequently, the developed excess pore
pressures decrease with a reduction in penetration ratio. Good agreement was observed
between the results of the experimental and numerical models.
