Controls on the enrichment of the Serra Verde rare earth deposit, Brazil
Creators: name: Pinto Ward, Carmen
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Ion-adsorption rare earth element deposits (IADs) are weathered granites that contain economically exploitable REE-bearing clays, hosting 90 % of world HREE resources, and thus a vital supply of critical metals. The mechanisms that lead to the enrichment of REE, and the controls on the development of the host weathered profile are poorly understood. The Serra Verde deposit in Brazil is one of the few IADs discovered outside China, and therefore provides a valuable case study in understanding the factors that lead to their formation. Samples from the weathered profile and bedrock were analysed by SEM, EMP, and XRD to characterise the deposit and assess the controls on the enrichment. The Serra Verde IAD developed over a strongly REE-enriched, phosphate-poor, and weakly peraluminous A-type granite. The REE-mineral assemblage of the granite is largely hydrothermal, formed of REE-fluorcarbonates, altered zircons, metamict niobiates, F-rich xenotime-Y, and monazite-La. Breakdown of the granite under wet, tropical conditions, produced a strongly REE-enriched saprolite. Mass balance analysis indicates that enrichment occurred through efficient mass transfer of REE from the upper profile. Lateral variations in ore grade, REE mineralogy, and saprolite thickness are attributed to variable drainage across the profile. LREE-fluorcarbonates are the principle source of mobilised REE, and show complex dissolution and re-precipitation patterns across the saprolite. The formation of supergene fluorcarbonates reduces the amount of REE adsorption on clays, and are distinguished by their negative Ce anomalies. Leaching experiments were carried out to quantify the percentage of ion-exchangeable REE (PER), the REE residence in ore minerals, and the sensitivity to both leaching time and pH. The PER at Serra Verde is controlled by REE mineralogy, clay content and composition. Leaching times over 10 minutes result in a significant decrease in extracted REE, while lower pH increased the PER at the expense of introducing additional impurities from clay breakdown.

Constraining low energy effective field theories via high energy axioms
Creators: name: Melville, Scott Andrew
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Low energy effective field theories (EFTs) allow us to predict low energy (macroscopic) observables without specifying the high energy (microscopic) details of a system. This is useful across many areas in physics, and particularly in situations where the high energy is unknown or difficult to measure. However, the EFT is not blind to all aspects of the high energy microphysics—certain consistency conditions on very small scales are inherited as conditions on the large scale dynamics. Physically, the high energy consistency conditions we wish to impose correspond to locality, causality, unitarity and crossing symmetry. By exploiting the resulting analytic structure of scattering amplitudes (S matrix elements), these translate into rigorous constraints on the EFT. Failure to satisfy these constraints indicates that no local, causal, unitary, Lorentz-invariant high energy completion of the low energy theory can ever exist—the microphysics must be inherently incompatible with this kind of quantum field theory. Here, such constraints are derived at nearly every order in the EFT expansion, for massive particles of any spin with any kinematics. To illustrate the power of these techniques, specific applications to various cosmological field theories are presented—including the scalar, vector and massive gravity theories used in the early Universe for inflation and the late Universe for dark energy, as well as non-singular bouncing cosmologies and gravitational waves. Exploiting relations between high and low energy in order to better constrain effective field theories with fewer experimental data therefore proves itself to be a useful tool in a variety of applications, and will guide our future efforts to construct both fundamental and phenomenological models of the Universe in which we live.

'It's a woman': Molly Brennan and gender, social justice and leadership in the Victorian Education Department, 1960s and 1970s
Creators: name: Towns, Deborah
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Molly Brennan was a trail-blazing headmistress/principal of Victorian government high schools in the 1960s and 1970s. She was president of the Victorian Head Mistresses Association. In 1970, she made history as the first woman principal of a large Victorian co-educational government high school. Then, controversially, she applied to be Melbourne High School's principal in 1974. Brennan was an early second-wave feminist. The following account of her activism analyses her political approach to social justice with regard to equity for women teachers and improving girls' educational opportunities. She saw herself as a leader, and others recognised her as such during her career and today. It was not until she applied for promotion out of the girls' high schools and into the traditional power bases of male teachers as heads of co-educational high schools and Melbourne High School that her teaching and leadership abilities were questioned.

Triggers influencing the decision to exit
Creators: name: Confoo, Rodney
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Whilst there are significant studies on business cessation (liquidations), there has been very little research focus on business exits or business harvesting. The aim of this research was to undertake an investigation into identifying factors that lead to owners making decisions to exit their businesses. This penchant to making an exit decision is expressed conceptually in the form of an ‘exit trigger’. The study concluded that exit triggers consisted of two groups of factors: ‘opportunities’ which referred to positive factors, and ‘challenges’ which referred to negative or pessimistic factors. These factors are able influence the exit decision in isolation, or more typically, as combinations of factors operating in sequence or simultaneously. Generally, challenge factors were more likely to influence owners, but occasionally the arrival of well-timed offers proved to be persuasive in influencing owners to exit.
Computational investigations of viscous fingering in enhanced oil recovery
Creators: name: Abdul Hamid, Shahrizal Anuar
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Viscous fingering is important in many applications and industries and can occur over a wide range of time and length scales. Examples include fluid separation using chromatography and carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration. The particular type of viscous fingering discussed occurs in first contact miscible (FCM) displacements, which are often encountered in enhanced oil recovery applications such as CO2 injection. Viscous fingering is a highly non-linear phenomenon with a strong dependence on viscosity contrast, diffusion, dispersion and permeability variation. Its dynamics cannot be described analytically except at early time when the fingers grow independently of their neighbours. Predicting the growth of viscous fingering is challenging as it requires numerical simulation with high resolution to ensure physical diffussion and dispersion dominates over numerical errors. We begin our investigation with a quantitative assessment on the inherent errors in numerical simulations resulting from truncation of Taylor’s expansion when approximating the governing partial differential equations describing the flow in porous media. We study the effects of grid orientation and different numerical schemes. We show how the truncation error reduces the growth rate of immiscible viscous fingers for wavenumbers greater than 1 in all cases but does not affect the growth rate of higher wavenumber fingers as much as would be seen if capillary pressure were present. We then proceed to study the life-cycle of miscible fingering, from the early to late time regime. We use simple but effective methods to precisely detect nonlinear phenomena such as finger merging, coalescence and tip-splitting. By investigating the impacts of viscosity ratio and anisotropic dispersion on the fingering patterns, we propose how the scaling of non-linear growth can be made using the results from linear stability analysis. This subsequently allows us to predict when the late time regime will occur. Next we investigate how spatial variations in the permeability including channelling and highly correlated reservoirs influence the viscous fingering. We study how macroscopic efficiency is reduced due to bypassed-oil in channelised reservoirs, and attempt to capture this using a modified 1D Koval model. We use several metrics to provide demarcations between the type of heterogeneity and resulting flow regimes. Finally, we perform numerical simulations of polymer slug fingering using FCM simulator and black-oil simulator with Todd-Longstaff model. We show how the latter may suffer excessive numerical dispersion and we present a simple method to overcome this. Finally, we show that the miscible fingering at the back of the slug may be simplified by using a semi-analytical model that allows a rapid estimation of slug size required to maintain the integrity of the polymer slug.

description: Dissertation for PhD Bioinformatics at the University of Georgia (2013). Abstract: Parasitic protozoa cause a number of devastating human and veterinary diseases, including malaria, toxoplasmosis, babesiosis and cryptosporidiosis. Protein kinases, a broad class of cellular signaling enzymes which have proven effective drug targets in human cancers, are promising targets in these parasitic diseases as well. In this work I develop and apply comparative computational techniques in analyses of the protein kinases in specific evolutionary groups of eukaryotic pathogens. First, I comprehensively examine conserved protein kinase families in the Apicomplexa, the phylum that includes the malaria parasites Plasmodium spp. and the opportunistic pathogen Toxoplasma gondii, to identify conserved genomic and structural features that distinguish parasite kinases from those in their hosts and other eukaryotes. I then explore the structural and evolutionary divergence of the virulence-associated, coccidian-specific rhoptry kinase family. The novel findings presented here shed light on parasite phosphoryl signaling mechanisms as well as provide guidance on potential drug targets for parasitic diseases.

An investigation into government owned corporatised entities and strategic management of multiple stakeholders in the Australian land development sector
Creators: name: Oates, Grainne
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In the context of corporatised government entities where managers are told to operate on commercial principles, and yet undertake some projects that are not profitable, a difficult set of circumstances is created by these seemingly conflicting objectives. There is little information on this phenomenon. In this study I address the lack of knowledge through the lens of stakeholder and institutional theories that form the basis of this study. In Australia, there has been a trend towards reforming the public sector. Corporatising many government departments at all levels has been a major outcome. These entities play a significant, growing, but little understood role in the economy. Some of the many examples of public entities required to carry out these objectives include government owned urban development corporations. The exploration of this phenomenon and some of the difficulties and issues it presents are the focus of this study. The selection of the urban development corporations is salient given the heavy focus on housing affordability and affordable living in Australia today. This research employs qualitative case study methodology. Interviews and focus groups are the selected method of data collection and are supplemented with document analysis. Participants are a purposefully selected group of executive managers from these entities. In addition one Treasury department was selected as representative of all state government Treasury departments. The findings add to the literature and advance theory in a number of ways. The private sector is identified as a very important stakeholder in the public sector. Manipulation as a strategic response to demands from stakeholders exists in the complex relationship between these entities and the private sector. The Oliver (1991) strategic responses to institutional processes model can be extended to include an active and positive strategic response indicating managers at times go 'above and beyond' what is required by stakeholders. Other findings confirm the more attributes a stakeholder possesses the more managers will 'notice' them. This finding concurs with the Mitchell et al (1997) stakeholder typology model. These attributes include power, legitimacy and urgency. However, the type of power whether coercive or symbolic can influence the decision making of managers. Further findings indicate some institutional factors can be more influential than others as predictors of strategic response. The findings also suggest the type of management control system (MCS) in use in the organisation can be predicted from the overall strategic response of management to demands from stakeholders.

description: This paper describes a study on a repair method using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets for corroded steel girder ends that have reduced load-carrying capacities in compression and shear. CFRP sheets are bonded on the corroded vertical stiffeners and/or webs using a low elastic modulus putty layer. This putty layer makes it possible to prevent delamination of the CFRP sheets when large deformations occur induced by buckling. A practical design method is proposed, and laboratory experiments for validation are described.

description: Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is the deterioration of materials caused by the presence and activity of microorganisms. The industries mostly affected by MIC include maritime, chemical processing, nuclear power, oil and gas production, and sprinkler water systems. In this research, laboratory-based studies have been undertaken to investigate the effect of different metallurgical, chemical and microbiological factors on the initial bacterial attachment and subsequent MIC of carbon steels. The findings from this research will help to design more rigorous lab-based tests of MIC that can be used to support the development of mitigation strategies for MIC attack in actual field conditions.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Markets in personal computers are moving very quickly, as populations in both the advanced industrial nations and the developing world become more familiar with online resources including the World Wide Web, email and data bases. The Internet is now integrated into the everyday life of a high proportion of Americans. In early 2000, roughly 55 million went online on a typical day, using email, seeking information or completing online financial transactions (Pew Internet and American Life Project 'Who's Not Online'). Personal computers are now almost as affordable as televisions and may - according to some predictions - become as endemic a feature of private life and public communication systems. This is an unpredictable expansion. No one really knows how dynamic the market will be, what its boundaries are, or atwhatpointit will reach saturation. Market research is struggling to keep pace with statistical tracking and user interviews. Governments are also trying - with their often slower and more involved intellectual technologies - to plot these changes and to plan for their impact. There has been an explosion of data gathering and publication, matched by strong public interest, especially where information has attempted to track developing trends and differences between the generations.

title: the invisibility of child and family health nurses in their role of safeguarding children in the Northern Territory

description: In 2005 there was statistical evidence of an increasing number of children in the Northern Territory (NT) suspected of (or actually) suffering abuse and/or neglect. Placing the underlying cause of this increase within an ecological framework, provision of supportive services to assist families ‘at risk’ of harming their children could mitigate the extent of abuse. Child and Family Health nurses (CFHNs) may be an untapped resource to provide those services. The study hoped to provide mechanisms for CFHNs to engage in interdisciplinary and cross-agency collaborative practices and to deliver improved early intervention to vulnerable families. This thesis describes a qualitative multi-method study conducted in three phases. An exploratory study was conducted to provide baseline data to inform an action research approach to address any ‘problem issues’ uncovered. The study design was modified due to complex political and bureaucratic changes that impeded the progress of the action research phase. An explanatory case study was then conducted to gain information about the practice directions and policy environment of the health and social care services available to vulnerable families. Interviews with child health and child protection leaders/experts provided data for this case study. Supplementary data were gathered from a purposeful sample of relevant documents to contextualise the information gained in the case study interviews and identify rapidly changing directions in health and social care policy during this period. The ability of CFHNs in the NT to extend their role into an early intervention service to support vulnerable families remains problematic without human and financial resources made available for this to occur. Interdisciplinary practices across health and social care services remain limited and there is little local cross-agency understanding of the potential of the CFHN role. The voice of nurses in policy development and leadership positions influencing child health services is limited. In other places in Australia and internationally, the role of CFHNs is more fully developed in supporting vulnerable families and mitigating the ecological risks of child abuse and neglect.

Extremal problems in finite sets
Creators: name: Lieby, Paulette
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 1999

description: The main concern of this thesis is the study of problems involving collections of subsets of a finite set [n] = {1,2,...,n} and especially antichains on [n]. An antichain is a collection of sets in which no two sets are comparable under set inclusion. An antichain A is flat if there exists an integer k ≥ 0 such that every set in A has cardinality either k or k + 1. The size of A is |A| and the volume of A is ∑A∈A |A|. A unifying problem in the thesis is the flat antichain conjecture which states that A is an antichain on [n] if and only if there exists a flat antichain on [n] with the same size and volume as A. The truth of the conjecture would provide a simple test for the existence of antichains on [n] with a given size and volume. The flat antichain conjecture is known to hold in several special cases. This thesis shows that it holds in several further cases. Two main approaches have been taken in the investigation of the flat antichain conjecture. The first approach consists of studying the volumes of antichains. Building on earlier work of Clements we observe that for given n and s, the antichains on [n] of size s which achieve minimum (maximum) volume are flat antichains, where the minimum (maximum) is taken over all antichains on [n] of size s. Further, we show that if A is an antichain on [n] then there exists a flat antichain on [n] with the same volume as A. In proving this last result we prove that the flat antichain conjecture holds in one special case. The second approach involves counting the number of subsets and supersets of certain collections of sets as defined below. The squashed (or colex) order on sets is a set ordering with the property that the number of subsets of a collection of k-sets is minimised when the collection consists of an initial segment of k-sets in squashed order. In the universal set [n], consider the collections Lk+1(p) and Lk-1(p) consisting of the last p (k + 1)-sets in squashed order and the last p (k - 1)-sets in squashed order respectively. Let a1 be the number of supersets of size k of the sets in Lk-1(p). Let a2 be the number of subsets of size k of the sets in Lk+1(p) which are not subsets of any (k + 1)-set preceding the sets in Lk+1(p) in squashed order. We show that a1 + a2 > 2p. This result, called the 3-levels result, enables us to show that the flat antichain conjecture holds in several cases. Several conjectures and open problems which are related to the 3-levels result are stated and implications of the truth of the flat antichain conjecture are considered.
The wealth and poverty of networks part two: Intermedia and media convergence before the Internet

description: This review provides an overview of the chemistry, structure and potential applications of 1-(acyl/aroyl)-3-(mono-substituted) and 1-(acyl/aroyl)-3,3-(di-substituted) thioureas, with general formula R1C(O)N(1)HC(S)N(3)R2R3. In recent years, the title compounds have found extensive applications as ligands in coordination chemistry. The effect that nitrogen substituents exert on the intra- and intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions is discussed, including their role on the coordination properties displayed by these ligands. Novel applications of transition metal complexes bearing 1-(acyl/aroyl)-3-(mono- and di-substituted) thioureas are introduced. Biological aspects are also highlighted. As recently demonstrated, high-throughput screening assay and structure–activity analyses are feasible for this class of compounds. The chemical versatility of 1-(acyl)-3-(substituted) thiourea molecules and the derived metal complexes, together with the possibility of determining detailed structural properties, join biological applications in a promising interdisciplinary approach. The bibliography includes 382 references with emphasis on the literature appearing after 2007.

description: The Blackboard learning management system was first implemented at Swinburne University in June 2001. Since then, all higher education subjects at Hawthorn, Lilydale and Prahran campuses have been set up with a Blackboard web presence. In June 2003 Sarawak implemented Blackboard as its learning management system with all higher education subjects having a web presence. This study seeks to investigate and compare students’ experiences of when and where they access their Blackboard subjects; students perceived and changing needs and explore and consider key themes apparent across campuses and make recommendations for continued improvement. The research will be a longitudinal and comparative study of adoption and usage patterns of the Blackboard learning management system at Melbourne and Sarawak campuses. The study will review experiences prior to 2003 and build on qualitative data gathered from online surveys of students at all Swinburne higher education campuses from 2004 onwards. The same survey will be used each semester over a period of three years. The key aim of the investigation is to assist academic staff in the further improvement of the electronic learning experiences and environments they develop and provide for their students. The researchers are keen to gain an understanding of the students’ experiences and needs and to use these to inform professional development activities for academic staff as well as offer opportunities and suggestions for the continuous improvement for students of their online subjects in Blackboard.

Establishment of a database for tool life performance
Creators: name: Vom Braucke, Troy S.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The cutting tool industry has evolved over the last half century to the point where an increasing range and complexity of cutting tools are available for metal machining. This highlighted a need to provide an intelligent, user-friendly system of tool selection and recommendation that can also provide predictive economic performance data for engineers and end-users alike. Such an 'expert system' was developed for a local manufacturer of cutting tools in the form of a relational database to be accessed over the Internet. A number of performance predictive models were reviewed for various machining processes, however they did not encompass the wide range of variables encountered in metal machining, thus adaptation of these existing models for an expert system was reasoned to be economically prohibitive at this time. Interrogation of published expert systems from cutting tool manufacturers, showed the knowledge-engineered principle to be a common approach to transferring economic and technological information to an end-user. The key advantage being the flexibility to allow further improvements as new knowledge is gained. As such, a relational database was built upon the knowledge-engineered principle, based on skilled craft oriented knowledge to establish an expert system for selection and performance assessment of cutting tools. An investigation into tapping of austenitic stainless steels was undertaken to develop part of a larger expert system. The expert system was then interrogated in this specific area in order to challenge by experiment, the skilled craft oriented knowledge in this area. The experimental results were incorporated into the database where appropriate, providing a user-friendly working expert system for intelligent cutting tool selection, recommendation and performance data.

description: The physical and chemical properties of flax (linen) are attractive from the perspective of biomaterials science and engineering. Flax textiles uniquely combine hydrophilicity and strength, with the technical know-how to produce precisely engineered two- and three-dimensional knitted or woven structures. It is, however, extremely difficult to completely remove endotoxins from the flax, and this essentially precludes the use of linen for implant purposes. Herein, the potential utility of flax textiles for blood-contacting applications is investigated, using purified two-dimensional mesh specimens, with and without an albumin surface coating. It was hypothesized that the albumin coating will abolish the effect of adherent endotoxins at the flax’s surface. In vitro cell viability assays showed that the flax mesh ± albumin is not cytotoxic. The albumin coating reduced (but not abolished) the effect of surface-exposed endotoxins (Limulus amebocyte lysate test). Under dynamic conditions, the albumin coating favors coverage with endothelial cells. Experiments with fresh human blood plasma (platelet-rich and platelet-free) showed that the albumin coating reduces the thrombogenicity in vitro. Platelets adhered to the albumin-coated flax mesh showed a less flattened structure. Although the results of this work cannot be extrapolated easily to in vivo situations, the data reveal that woven or knitted tubular structures produced from flax fibers may hold promise as implantable blood contacting devices like for instance vascular grafts.
