The friction reducing properties of organic friction modifier additives
Creators: name: Fry, Benjamin Matthew
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Organic Friction Modifiers (OFMs) have been used as lubricant additives for over 100 years but the exact mechanism of their friction reducing properties is still uncertain. OFMs are surfactant molecules, with a polar head group and hydrocarbon tail group, which adsorb onto the surface to form self-assembled monolayers. These adsorbed layers reduce friction in mixed and boundary lubrication regimes. This thesis studies the friction reducing properties of OFM additives, which will enable the effective implementation of OFMs within a system and provide potential insight on the design of future OFM additives. The friction reducing properties of OFM additives are impacted by contaminants within an idealised system. Surface contaminants and contaminants within the base oil were studied to understand the impact these contaminants had on the friction reduction of OFMs. Effective methods were found to remove this contamination to further study the friction reduction of OFM additives. OFMs are known to adsorb onto a surface, but the link between the adsorption of these additives and their friction reduction is unclear. This thesis studied the adsorption of different OFM additives and has determined a link between the adsorption thickness and the inital friction of these additives. The mechanism of friction reduction of OFMs with an ester head group was still debated within the literature. This research has found that well adsorbed esters hydrolyse within the contact to form carboxylates on the surface. These carboxylate species dictate the steady state friction of these ester additives.

Piezoelectric devices for energy harvesting and ambient sensing
Creators: name: Shi, Mayue
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Energy harvesting is promising to provide convenient and clean power for low-power sensors in the Internet of Things. Piezoelectric energy harvesters have proved particularly competitive because of their simple structure, flexible design and excellent power density. This thesis first developed a miniature galloping piezoelectric energy harvester (GPEH) to scavenge wind energy. It worked within the wind speed band of 4.45-10 m/s in wind tunnel tests, and the maximum average power was 7.5 μW. Because of its flexible structure, the harvester could spontaneously return to the balanced position after mechanical overload, showing good robustness at high wind speeds. Following this, the variation of galloping frequency with wind speed was systematically investigated. An analytical model considering axial aerodynamic force was established, successfully explained the dependence of frequency on wind velocity. A wind velocity sensor was developed based on this dependence. Further experiment showed the error of this sensor is below 4% compared to the standard Pitot tube. Furthermore, a novel design combining nonlinear aeroelastic structure and synchronous mechanical switch-based P-SSHI (parallel synchronized switch harvesting on inductor) was introduced into the original GPEH. According to wind tunnel measurement, the cut-off speed increased to 13.5 m/s from 10 m/s with this design. Furthermore, the average power output has increased maximumly by 221% at 3.6 m/s than the GPEH only contained nonlinear aeroelastic structure. Finally, to realise a soft piezoelectric tensile sensor, a second-order fractal structure was patterned using an ultraviolet laser on a PVDF film. In dynamic tensile testing, this sensor showed RMS voltages of 2.7 mV and 9.2 mV when the tensile velocities were 5 mm/s and 20 mm/s, respectively. The voltage-velocity curve increased monotonically. In conclusion, this thesis investigated novel architectures for piezoelectric energy harvesting and ambient sensing, which are promising to be widely used in IoT applications.

subject: Auditing and accountability

description: Internal auditing effectiveness (IAE) has become a critical function for many organisations. Academic research has concentrated on external auditing, as it is a way to monitor and review processes. Simultaneously, internal auditing is essential because it serves two main purposes. Firstly, it enhances the operations within the organisation, and, secondly, it helps an organisation to prevent and detect any mistakes or fraud, in order to protect . IAE has received limited attention in the literature, particularly in developing nations such as Saudi Arabia. However, such settings offer the possibility to improve our comprehension of internal auditing practices. Many developed countries have effective regulations for establishing and developing internal audit functions (IAFs) to maintain public trust and protect assets. So far, internal auditing in Saudi Arabia has been limited to account reporting and property transactions; there was no legal requirement for enhancing internal auditing activities in the country until 2004, when Cabinet Decree No. 235 was established, and then followed by resolution No. 129 in 2007. Despite these internal auditing regulations, there are still major concerns about the effectiveness of how public funds are managed in Saudi Arabia.

description: L’objectif de cette étude est de mesurer le rythme de la transformation structurelle de l’économie sénégalaise et d’en identifier ses déterminants. Pour y arriver, la méthodologie utilisée s’inspire des travaux de McMillan et Harttgen (2014), McMillan et Rodrik (2014), De Vries et Timmer (2015) consistant à décomposer la croissance de la productivité du travail en deux composantes : composante « Within » et composante « transformation structurelle ». Les résultats montrent que le rythme de la transformation structurelle de l’économie sénégalaise est très lent et tourne autour d’une moyenne de 1% sur la période 1980-2018.  Afin d’analyser les facteurs explicatifs de ce rythme, une modélisation ARDL a été appliquée. Les résultats montrent que les facteurs susceptibles d’expliquer la vitesse de la transformation structurelle sont : l’emploi agricole, l’éducation, le crédit octroyé au secteur privé, les IDE et les termes de l’échange.

description: My creative practice examines processes of observation, filming and the re-presentation of a unique urban condition known as the héms, an area of compact mixed-use buildings, in District 4, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Using moving images of my observations, my practice employs a series of processes that illuminate the details of this part of HCMC.

My practice has developed a set of methods that build a relationship between the in-situ experience of the héms, a post production treatment with a series of customised lenses and filters, and edited sequences used for festivals and galleries. These are interspersed with two distinct periods of reflection that inform the subsequent treatments. With a focus on detailed documentation of event, movement and space the héms are recorded using extended sequences of footage that are illuminated through the lenses and filters. This allows the héms to be re-presented with different visual properties: zoom, blur, layering and extrusions to capture a rich collection of sequences that are contextually significant to HCMC.

The data gathered and manipulated through the documentation process speaks to the relationship between occupation and its fluidity highlighting a 'tightness' in the operation of the spaces. The documentation is a record of an urban condition that is increasingly under threat from demolition and redevelopment. This work offers a way of looking at these tight urban environments as rich spaces of community, culture and material vibrancy that can ultimately inform future urban planning and design thinking, presents examples of dense urban spatial capacity. The documentation is also a record of a unique urban condition, that is under threat from demolition and redevelopment. HCMC is rapidly expanding, and this research can inform future urban planning and design through the re-presentation of the héms, as a space capable tackling the associated issues.

description: Two central ideas characterise the dominant discourse surrounding sovereign debt and sovereign debt crises: the portrayal of the crisis as the only problem and the singling out of the debtor state as the main culprit. This thesis challenges both of these ideas and, in doing so, contributes to the nascent normative literature on finance and justice, as well as to the more established debates on global justice and structural injustice.
 First, the most serious problem is not the crisis itself, but a highly asymmetrical and unjust Sovereign Debt and Credit Regime (SD&CR), which rests on and further entrenches positions of advantage and disadvantage along lines of class and citizenship. Occupiers of positions of disadvantage are vulnerable to structural domination and exploitation when debt is accrued. Three heuristic categories are introduced here to better understand how the injustices characterising the SD&CR are reproduced, namely the ‘structural processes proper’, the ‘structural-relational’, and the ‘structural-systemic’ dimensions.
 Second, an integrated responsibility model is defended, which challenges the unilateral attribution of responsibility to the debtor state and allows for more expansive and differentiated responsibility attribution. According to this model, creditors can be held responsible on three grounds: moral responsibility, benefit, and role responsibility. Disadvantaged debtor governments, in turn, are responsible to resist their domination and exploitation. This responsibility may give rise to (a) the duty to refuse to renounce their own agency by endorsing outcome responsibility, and (b) to the duty to engage in acts of state civil disobedience. Finally, citizens cease to have debt servicing obligations if the state budget is systematically used in the interest of only a fraction of the state’s citizenry and whenever the acquisition of further debt threatens the state’s ability to act in the public interest.

description: In the late nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth century, Jewish immigrants took, when possible, from the Russian empire to their new destinations their dearest possessions. One of these was their books. Religious and prayer books represented the knowledge sages and rabbis had passed from generation to generation to their people. Belle lettres and political books in different languages were an important part of their education, upbringing, and ideology. These collections were the start of the libraries at the Jewish settlements in Argentina. Based on published memoirs of these first settlers this article presents how these libraries were created and notes a pattern of similarities on how they became a space to share books, to socialize, to enjoy cultural events, including readings and discussions of Yiddish and European masterpieces as well as musical and theatrical evenings, and to promote political beliefs.

Prebiotics, FODMAPs and dietary fiber - conflicting concepts in development of functional food products?
Creators: Yan, Ya Lu
Hu, Ying
Gänzle, Michael G.
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2018

The term prebiotic relates to beneficial modulation of intestinal microbiota by dietary carbohydrates, however, uncertainties of the differentiation of the term 'prebiotics' from dietary fiber as well as FODMAPs impede development of functional foods containing prebiotics. This communication outlines similarities and differences between prebiotics, FODMAPs, and dietary fiber, focusing on three areas of recent advancement: first, oligosaccharide digestion in the small intestine; second, conditional digestibility of dietary glycans and third, impact of the food matrix on carbohydrate digestion. Because of large inter-individual differences in carbohydrate digestion, one type of prebiotics does not fit all consumers. The use of a diversity of prebiotics and their use in diverse food applications can address negative consequences associated with the consumption of prebiotics.

Muscle and soft tissue monitoring via smart compression garments

Publisher: name: RMIT University

Subjects: classificationCode: 401702
subject: Dynamics, vibration and vibration control

description: This research follows a multi-disciplinary pathway which begins with the development of a novel measurement technique via the application of custom piezoresistive sensor arrays, continues through to integration within compression apparel as a validated biomechanical analysis system, finishing at the exploration of a system capable of providing detailed feedback to a wearer on their muscle activity and fatigue performance, with the scope to identify impending higher-risk injury conditions.

The aim of this work was the development of a wearable system that focuses on near real-time muscle performance analysis through the measurement of muscle activity induced surface pressure variations. It further explores ligament loading and muscle fatigue condition parameters through the use of the developed system. In doing so the research methodology questions whether pressure could be used to measure muscle activity at varying levels of muscle exertion, whether additional performance metrics could be extracted in real-time, and how these metrics reflected changing performance over sustained activity.

The research serves to demonstrate that an alternative measurement system for muscle performance monitoring is possible through the use of surface pressure changes. Further demonstrating that advantages of such a system can be used to extend beyond measuring just the direct muscle performance, but also the performance and loading on other soft tissues connected in the biomechanical chain, and lastly present an alternative to the gold standard of muscle fatigue measurement that alternatively measures the instability present within the measured signal of a fatiguing muscle as a valid fatigue index.

Through the completion of this exploration three main contributions to the knowledge gap are made. New evidence and methodology is presented on the viability of measuring muscle performance (activity, load and fatigue) through pressure-based Force Myography using a compression garment and pressure sensors. A new technique for fast estimation of Cruciate Ligament loading for early warning and injury prevention detailed, and lastly a determination of a new muscle fatigue index that uses Fractal Dimension analysis to calculate level of muscular fatigue and muscle interdependence.

Human rights observance in South Sudan: a recipe for peace and sustainable development
Creators: name: OHULI, Andrew
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 480307
subject: International humanitarian and human rights law

description: The international human rights are frequently characterised as corresponding to three generations. The first generation is referred to as Civil and Political Rights, which includes the rights which are enshrined in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). These include freedom of expression and the right to life. The second generation relates to economic, social and cultural rights. They are found in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), and include the rights to work, health and education. The third generation of rights are commonly said to include the right to development, minority rights and the right to peace. Despite the diversity of these rights, they all seek to protect human beings from fear and wants, and share a common purpose which is to alleviate injustices and promote respect for human rights in the world. All three generations of human rights have been exceedingly violated in South Sudan, since the outbreak of conflict in 2013. This research highlights the challenges posed by the gross violation of the ICCPR and its Optional Protocols, the ICESCR and the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR) in South Sudan. The study is by no means exhaustive in documenting the large number of violations of international human rights and humanitarian law that have occurred in South Sudan for the period from December 2013 to 2017. Rather, the research broadly investigates the issue of human rights abuse in South Sudan post-Independence and the measures that may be taken to address it. The research highlights the connection between human rights abuse, political instability and insecurity in South Sudan. The thesis examines the legal and political measures that may be adopted to promote respect for human rights and the pursuit of sustainable development in the country. The research concludes that some of the violations of human rights may amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity.

description: Research publishing involves the production, use and management of research in a variety of genres by commercial and non-profit academic publishers, and by organisations in government, civil society, university and industry sectors. Despite being an essential vehicle for research dissemination, publications produced by organisations, sometimes referred to as grey literature, are often overlooked in studies of scholarly communication and public policy. This research investigates publishing by organisations and contextualises it within the broader dynamics of research communication and knowledge infrastructure and the move towards evidence-informed public policy and practice. Digital technologies have enabled new ways to publish, disseminate, discover, use, curate and manage research, and these innovations have significantly increased the amount and diversity of research publications available. Alongside academic outputs, such as peer-reviewed journals and books, many other genres and formats are regularly published and used for public policy and practice work including research and technical reports, conference papers, discussion papers, briefings, working papers, evaluations, reviews, case studies, factsheets, datasets and visualisations. This diversity provides a rich source of evidence and arguments for policy decision-making and implementation; however current publishing practices - both commercial and non-commercial - also present many challenges in terms of discoverability, access and management of research publications. Using analysis of three online surveys and interviews with research users, producing organisations and collecting services in Australia, this thesis explores the dynamics of formal and informal research publishing and provides a new typology to describe key research publishing models. The results indicate that organisations in all sectors play a critical if unacknowledged role in producing, using and managing a wide variety of genres and formats essential for public policy and practice. Based on these findings, I argue that we need to recognise research publishing as a diverse, multicentric system and develop appropriate strategies and knowledge infrastructures to ensure it is managed effectively, efficiently, equitably, credibly and sustainably in the public interest.

Lactic metabolism revisited: metabolism of lactic acid bacteria in food fermentations and food spoilage
Creators: Gänzle, Michael G.
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2015

Sensory properties, shelf life, and safety of a majority of fermented foods are determined by the metabolic activity of food fermenting lactic acid bacteria. This communication reviews major metabolic routes of lactic acid bacteria, and indicates how metabolism is influenced by the environmental conditions or manipulated for improved control of food fermentations. Emphasis is placed on homofermentative and heterofermentative metabolism of carbohydrates, organic acids, and the conversion of amino acids with major impact on food safety and quality. In addition to the role of lactic metabolism in food fermentations, their implications for food spoilage are discussed.

description: The American-British Alliance of World Mar II did not evolve by chance but was the result of deliberate steps wh1ch can be traced back to 1938 when naval coordination talks were conducted in London. These talks emerged from an American evaluation of defense commitments in the Pacific and recognition that British cooperation would be valued in a future war.

The theme of this study is the development of the alliance and how that process was influenced by the debate over the strategy for the war in Europe. The most important decision in this process was the Europe first policy. Roosevelt always remained faithful to this policy but Churchill was willing to manipulate the policy if it interfered with his desire to maintain Britain's position in the post-war world.

Worthwhile sources for this study included the Roosevelt and Marshall Libraries and interviews with Generals Albert C. Wedemeyer and Mark M. Clark. Other important sources were the Churchill series on the war and the Pogue series on General Marshall.

description: This thesis explores how working-age social security money in the UK is understood and used from the perspective of its recipients, using an approach that emphasises the ‘social meaning’ of money.
 The thesis is motivated by two initial observations. On the one hand, politicians and policymakers have demonstrated an awareness that social security money has the capacity to carry and communicate social meaning. Yet, on the other hand, the mostly individualistic, asocial, perspectives of neoclassical and (more recently) behavioural economics, have continued to dominate the way in which social security policy has been framed.
 Against this background, the main argument of the thesis is that both academics and policymakers have so far underestimated the social aspects of social security money on a micro level, within the lives of its recipients. A novel alternative perspective is
 proposed, drawing on insights from new economic sociology, that theorises social security money as constituted by social context, social relations, and social meanings.
 This theoretical perspective is explored empirically using in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 43 working-age social security recipients living in East London. The interviews are analysed using a form of thematic analysis. The empirical findings are
 presented in three main sections that address the participants’ experiences of claiming, organising, and spending social security money.
 Based on these empirical findings, the thesis argues that four key concepts can help to clarify how working-age social security money is understood and used from the perspective of its recipients. These are: supplication and earned entitlement; control
 and responsibility; dependence and independence; and administratively-defined need.
 The thesis concludes by showing the implications of these key concepts for how policymakers approach the design of social security payments specifically, and how they might better understand recipients’ experiences of social security policy more
 generally.

The invisible journalists: a study into fixers’ professional journalistic practices in Pakistan post 9/11 US terrorist attack
Creators: name: Khan, Majid
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 470105
subject: Journalism studies

description: Despite journalism fixers being micro-level influencers and keystone pieces in the jigsaw that completes the picture in international news, they receive neither credit nor acknowledgement in news stories. Fixers' influence on the framing of international news and public knowledge of international affairs at the global level has not been adequately discussed in academic studies.

This thesis examines the role of fixers in international news by investigating the role of journalism fixers in Pakistan during the first ten years of the "war on terror" (the US-led post-9/11 war in Afghanistan). The thesis aims to answer, "How does fixers' professional journalistic practice influence news production at the micro level in the case of Pakistan, post-9/11?"

News/journalism fixers are the local eyes, ears and knowledge banks for people working in foreign countries. This study addresses them as invisible journalists.
Pakistan, an immediate neighbour of Afghanistan, was declared a frontline state in the war on terror by the US. People related to the news-production process in Pakistan are an ideal sample for examining the role and influence of fixers in the framing of international news.
   
This study develops a new theoretical framework to analyse the influences at the micro level in international newsgathering, as the existing models of news production are not adequate in examining influences at the micro level. This study applies the proposed theoretical framework to investigate the role of fixers by deconstructing the news production process, to identify at which point(s) fixers influence news selection and dissemination. At the first step, this study explores the typology of fixers and classifies them into subgroups on the basis of their social capital as defined by Bourdieu. This study finds there are different types of fixers on the ground and for better understanding of their role they need to be classified into subgroups.

This research further draws the conclusion that fixers play a foundational role and influence news production at the micro level.
Views from expatria: photographing place and self in transience

Subjects: classificationCode: 360604
subject: Photography, video and lens-based practice

description: Views from Expatria: Photographing Place and the Self in Transience examines global trends of migration and the complex politics of border assertion and control. The role of place representation is explored through its relationship to the transient condition of being in expatria, and through the use of contemporary photography the project seeks to contribute creative parallels to current discourses in society about place, expatriation, belonging, home and identity.

Views from Expatria, further discloses ways in which my personal expatriation and transience align with contemporary global conditions of expatriation, migration, immigration, and the specific social, political, and psychological drivers that have shaped it. In this way it advocates the need for an expanded context of human migrations that includes voluntary mobility, and the legitimization of auto ethnographic, autobiographic narratives of expatriation through the use of contemporary photography.

The output of the creative based research consists of five series of original place-related photographic projects, namely: Out of Place; Home No Home; Interiors; Photographing the Unphotographable; and Here There Are Lions.

description: The aim of this study (of TREASURE project) was to evaluate the protein digestibility and the N retention of four diets, containing 12, 14, 16 and 18% of crude protein (CP) in Cinta Senese growing pigs. Bentonite as internal indicator was added to each diet (2% as fed). Eight castrated males, weighing 55 kg of lw on average, were cyclically fed with the four diets according a Latin square design. The animals were regularly weighed before each experimental cycle to adjust the daily amount of feed, according to their metabolic weight (90 g DM/kg MW). Every cycle consisted in 10 days of diet adaptation in box, two days of adaptation in metabolic cage and three days of trial, when faeces and urines were collected. The whole trial lasted a total of 8 weeks. Sampling took place at fixed hours, once a day for urines and twice a day for faeces. On feed and faeces, the following analysis were carried out: moisture,  protein, ether extract, ash, NDF, ADF, ADL and acid insoluble ash (AIA). On urines, nitrogen content was determined. Total tract apparent digestibility (TTAD), balance and efficiency of nitrogen utilization and energy partition of the experimental diets were calculated. Data were analysed by SAS using the GLM model and considering sampling day and animal as fixed effects and diet and metabolic weight as continuous effects. TTAD of dry matter, organic matter and protein showed a parabolic trend with maximum at 14.5-15.0% of CP. Concerning the N-related parameters, results showed that the N intake, N adsorbed and total N excreted increased with the dietary CP content. Contrariwise, the biological value (BV) of the diet and the N retained/intake ratio linearly decreased as the CP increased. Indeed, the lowest BV was observed for the 18% CP diet (45.28%), while the highest was showed by 12% CP diet (59.82%). Energy digestibility followed a parabolic trend, while metabolizable energy decreased linearly from 12%CP to 18%CP diets. In conclusion the protein requirement for Cinta Senese growing pig (from 50 to 80 kg lw) can be fulfilled by the 12% CP diet. Funded by European Union’s H2020 RIA program (grant agreement no. 634476).
