Transforming flexible devices to stretchable oxide-based electronics, photonics, and sensors
Creators: name: Gutruf, Philipp
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Lightweight compact electronics are currently the most popular personal electronic devices. A trend towards wearable and body compatible smart devices is clearly indicated, creating the demand for electronics to be fully flexible and stretchable to realise next generation devices.

To allow for this additional degree of freedom, strategies for fabricating these devices need to be established. The fabrication of such devices pose a challenge to materials science due to the inherent brittle nature of metals, oxides and semiconductors, the core building block for powerful electronics. This thesis explores new methods of integrating these materials into flexible and stretchable platforms.

Initially a comprehensive study into metal films on flexible substrates is carried out with insights into strategies to reduce the sensitivity towards strain. Based on these insights, multilayer resonating terahertz structures on a flexible platform are presented and analysed, showcasing the ability to distinguish polarisation efficiently.
The integration of a functional material namely zinc oxide into a flexible platform is demonstrated by realising a visible-blind UV imaging array capable of operating in various bending states.

In order to enable an additional degree of freedom, strategies to enable stretchability of functional oxides is explored. A novel method of transferring high temperature processed oxides (indium tin oxide) is presented, to overcome process temperature limitations. Secondly, a phenomena named “micro-tectonics” which allows oxides to stretch and bend is discovered and analysed.

Based on the micro-tectonic effect zinc oxide stretchable devices are demonstrated that are capable of detecting UV and gases efficiently at room temperature which outperform their rigid counterparts. Additionally high refractive index contrast devices are shown that dynamically manipulate visible light via device deformation. Multifaceted analysis provides insight into the excellent tunability of these diffractive and resonating optical devices.

The thesis offers a cross-disciplinary insight into incorporation of functional oxide thin films with flexible and stretchable materials, and the potential for a new paradigm of functional devices.

description: Information on Twitter is vast and varied. Readers must make their own judgements to determine the credibility of the great wealth of information presented on Twitter. This research aims to identify the factors that influence readers' judgements of the credibility of information on Twitter, especially news-related information. Both internal (within the Twitter platform) and external factors are studied in this research. User studies are conducted to collect readers' perceptions of the credibility of news-related tweets, Twitter features, and the impact of reader characteristics, such as a reader's demographic attributes, their personality and behaviour. Twitter readers are found to depend solely on surface tweet features in making these judgements such as the author's Twitter ID, pictures, or the number of retweets and likes, rather than the tweet's metadata as recommended in previous studies. In this study, surface features are related to cognitive heuristics. Cognitive heuristics are features that the mind uses as shortcuts for making quick evaluations such as deciding the credibility of tweets. There are three main types of cognitive heuristic features found on Twitter that readers use to determine credibility: endorsement, reputation and confirmation. This study finds that readers do not use only one single feature to make credibility judgements but rather a combination of features. External factors such as a reader's educational background and geolocation also have a significant positive correlation with their perceptions of a tweet's credibility. Readers with tertiary level education, or living in a certain location or environment, such as in a crisis or conflict area, are observed to be more careful in making credibility judgements. Readers who possess conscientiousness and openness to experience personality traits are also seen to be very cautious in their credibility judgements. Another insight provided by this research is the categorisation of readers' behaviours according to credibility perceptions on Twitter. The behavioural categorisations are defined by readers' behavioural reliance on Twitter's surface features when judging the credibility of tweets. The findings can assist social media authors in designing the surface features of their social media content in order to enhance the content's credibility. Furthermore, findings from this research can help in developing effective credibility evaluation systems by considering readers' personal characteristics.

description: There is continued criticism regarding the over-reliance on rational, linear and quantitative management approaches by decision makers of aid projects within Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). Such approaches have led to accountability efforts being primarily directed to donors with limited participation from beneficiary populations. There is an increasing interest in Design Thinking by decision makers as an approach to support more beneficiary-centred accountability in projects. However, there is limited understanding about whether Design Thinking tools can influence the accountability of decision makers.

Accountability can be conceptualised as `felt' accountability which privileges the internal motivations and virtue of decision makers; and as 'imposed' accountability which privileges formal, coercive and compliance-based mechanisms on decision makers. The objective of this thesis was to understand whether specific Design Thinking tools can influence the `felt' accountability of decision makers in aid projects. To achieve this, the thesis explored two case studies in Ghana and in UK/Lebanon.

The research methods involved participatory action research during the projects, followed by semi-structured interviews with key decision makers after project completion. The analysis was conducted by a combination of manual processes and NVivo software. The analysis revealed decision makers perceived two specific tools, being personas and Journey maps, as having influenced their `felt' accountability. There are four emergent factors that suggest how the tools may be contributing to the `felt' accountability of decision makers: this is firstly by building a shared picture among diverse groups, secondly by humanising complex information, thirdly by grounding discussions in realities, and lastly by deepening empathy and connection between decision makers and beneficiaries. This is the first study to suggest that the inclusion of Design Thinking tools can influence, and even enhance the `felt' accountability of decision makers towards beneficiaries. However, more research is needed to test these suggestive findings.

On a delocalised oxygen model of two-level system defects in Josephson junctions
Creators: name: Dubois, Tim
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Constructing circuits which invoke the tunnelling effect of Josephson junctions in the superconducting regime manifest controllable, quantum properties. The development of a quantum computer employing these phenomena is just one of the many advantages to be gained from building such devices.

However, the use of quantum bits for computation is dependent on the ability to operate them in an essentially isolated environment. The phenomenon of decoherence refers to the instability of a quantum state of a system when it interacts with the surrounding environment. Superconducting qubits are sensitive to decoherence mechanisms within the readout leads connecting to the device, and more importantly from the materials from which they are manufactured. Removal or control of these imperfections is required before quantum computers using superconducting circuit architecture can be realised.

One identifiable noise source is the so called 'strongly coupled' two-level system (TLS). Comparable resonance frequencies to the qubit; strong coupling strengths and decoherence times long enough to allow coherent oscillations between the qubit and TLS have been experimentally measured. The premise of this thesis is that positional anharmonicity of oxygen atoms arises within the AlOx barrier of the Josephson junction solely due to its amorphous construction. This ansatz allows the existence of various spatial configurations throughout the layer, causing unique TLS properties based solely on atomic positions and rotation in relation to the external electric field.

To validate this conjecture, Josepson junction models are constructed using a hybrid ab initio and molecular mechanics approach, with various stoichiometry and density properties to reflect experimental observations of the barrier. The resultant atomic positions provide input conditions through a Voronoi classification scheme to a framework describing an oxygen atom that has the capacity to become spatially delocalised as bonds perturb away from a crystalline structure. A direct digitalisation method is developed for low dimensional descriptions and a Wick-rotated time-dependent Schrödinger equation implementation is used for three dimensional investigations.

Calculated properties are compared to many current experimental strongly coupled TLS measurements in phase qubits, which shows the models' capacity to explain how an oxygen atom can generate a large dipole and appropriate ground to first excited state splitting values expected of a TLS by merely migrating from its preferred lattice position.
Network intrusion detection by artificial immune system

Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: With computer network’s fast penetration into our life, various types of malicious attacks and service abuses increase dramatically. Network security has become one of the big challenges in the modern networks. Intrusion Detection (ID) is one of the active branches in network security research field. Many technologies, such as neural networks, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms have been applied in intrusion detection and the results are varied. In this thesis, an Artificial Immune System (AIS) based intrusion detection is explored. AIS is a bio-inspired computing paradigm that has been applied in many different areas including intrusion detection. The main objective of our research is to improve the AIS based Intrusion Detection System’s (IDS) performance on detection while keeping its system computing complexity to a low level.

An IDS requires specified monitoring parameter set. In a computer network, there are many parameters can be collected or monitored. The quantity of parameters could be real big. These parameters can be used for the intrusion detection purpose. However, the significance of these parameters in intrusion detection can be very different. If all parameters were used, the computing complexity of IDS would be high. Therefore the selection of a group of significant parameters is necessary. This process is called feature selection. Two feature selection algorithms, i.e. Rough set algorithm (RSA) and linear genetic programming (LPG) are selected and compared in this thesis. An improved AIS based IDS with these two feature selection algorithms are studied.

A basic feature selection algorithm only picks the features to be used, assuming they have equal contribution towards the system performance and that is not the case in reality. Therefore weighing the parameters’ contribution in the IDS is expected to further improve the performance. However, assigning weights to the selected features is not an easy work. In this thesis, a weight distribution scheme among selected features is proposed. With a simplified exhausted approach, an optimal weight allocation is obtained. The results show that the improved AIS based IDS with weighted feature selection can achieve 99.98 % of true positive rate while keeping the true negative rate at 99.94%. These results are obtained from the experiment on the popular testing dataset: KDD Cup 99. The results indicate the proposed scheme outperforms most of the existing IDS on the same testing data set.

description: Stability of underground excavation is a major concern because any failure may lead to costly damages and possible loss of life. Since the underground material does not have predefined properties, engineers are exposed to a complex situation. In order to avoid adverse effects of failure, researchers and engineers have tried to fix the problem by taking higher factor of safety for the design of external supporting system, reinforcement and optimizing the shape of underground caverns.

During the last 40 years, advances in technology and application of computer made the job for civil and mining engineers much easier. Therefore, the application of finite element method (FEM) gives the engineers the power to simulate any shape and analyse any real case problems. Finally, as a gap was felt in finding the best shapes of design, engineers searched through different fields to solve it. As a result, the development of optimization methods gave researchers a chance to use computer to design the optimum shape.

Although it was primarily proposed to optimize the shape of structural members, topology optimization has been used by few researchers in geotechnical applications. Despite its great potential, in this field, very few and simple studies have been carried out which were limited to two dimensional designs and the presence of joints, discontinuities, materials with various mechanical properties and junctions as well as material non-linearity were not implemented and investigated thoroughly.

In practical projects, most underground excavations are firstly designed according to the experience of engineers and then numerically studied by simulating it by computer programs thereby predicting the weakness and robustness in the design. But here in this research, computer is used to decide how to excavate and cast reinforcement based on different objective functions.

To do so, a computer program is developed to perform the optimization that includes firstly setting up finite element method and then applying the Bi-directional Evolutionary Structural Optimization (ESO). While there are many methods to perform optimization, due to its robustness in producing reasonable results in designing geotechnical problems and ease of linking with other computer programs (finite elements packages), BESO has been chosen.

Secondly two-dimensional patterns are simulated and used as the verification of correctness of the procedure by comparing with other researchers’ results. Lastly 3D models are considered, analysed and the outcomes are presented. Finally, plasticity is considered and methods to implement measures related to stability of the design domain are discussed.

description: Sweet sorghum possesses several advantages as it is adapted to semi-arid conditions, temperate regions of the world and has waterlogging tolerance. Little input is needed as its cultivation is simple and readily adoptable. Understanding sugar accumulation will help to know the harvest stage-specific for ethanol production potential. Furthermore, sweet sorghum can grow on low fertility soils, in an arid environment and does not need much fertilizer. It has a short growth period than many other crops. Being a climate-smart crop that has great potential to grow under drought conditions since it is a C4 crop with high photosynthetic efficiency, sweet sorghum has a high accumulation of sugar in its stems.

Germplasm of sweet sorghum exist and more are being developed through plant breeding to select and concentrate desired characteristics in new varieties. Identification of productive genotypes will open doors to the commercialization of sweet sorghum. These genotypes will have excellent potential for the production of liquid renewable fuel, thereby boosting the economy. Genetically improving the quality of sweet sorghum genotypes specific for ethanol production will increase its utilization shortly. Furthermore, identifying genotypes with high fermentable sugars using common yeast strains will boost their potential use in biofuel production. Accordingly, this increase in biofuel production will improve the livelihoods of people in drought-prone areas in the face of climate change and variability.

The study was developed as part of the project “Exploring wide crosses derived crop biodiversity (sorghum x maize) for climate resilience and food and nutrition security in Eastern and Southern Africa” funded by the Benefit Sharing Fund (BSF) of the International Treaty of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations (UN).

description: Die Eingliederung Schottlands in das Königreich Großbritanniens im Jahre 1707 legte den Grundstein für Schottlands sozialpolitische und kulturelle Haltung. Denn obgleich die Fusion mit dem dominanten südlichen Nachbarn keine vollständige Aufgabe der Selbstadministration bedeutete, zog der Zusammenschluss der ungleichen Mächte doch eine politische sowie kulturelle Vereinnahmung mit sich. Es begann ein fast 300 jahrelanger kultureller Überlebenskampf, in dem vor allem die Literatur als Sprachrohr für die Behauptung eigener, von England unterscheidbarer, schottischer Werte diente. Wie eng die Entwicklung Schottlands mit seiner nationalen Literatur verbunden ist zeigt sich in der Analyse der kurz vor der Wiedereinrichtung des Edinburgher Parlaments im Jahre 1999 entstandenen literarischen Strömungen, die sich an Stelle einer wirklichkeitsfernen Romantik nun eines höchst kritischen Sozialrealismus bedienten, um Schottland neu und vor allem authentisch zu inszenieren. In dieser kritischen Zeit wurde das Genre des Krimis als Spiegel gesellschaftlicher Entwicklungen wiederentdeckt und adaptiert. Diese in Schottland geschmiedete literarische Gattung mit dem marketingträchtigen Namen ‚Tartan Noir’ geht auf die ‚härteste’ aller Krimi Untergattungen, auf den amerikanischen ‚hard-boiled’ Roman, zurück und erwies sich somit als perfektes Medium um tief verwurzelten Symbolen schottischer Kultur, wie dem hartgesottenen, männlichen Arbeiterklasse-Helden, Ausdruck zu verleihen. Letztendlich ist es jedoch die weibliche Seite Schottlands, die den, in den 80iger Jahren begonnenen, literarischen, sozial-kritischen Diskurs erfolgreich weiterführt. Im Bestreben die verhärteten Identitäten Schottlands aufzuweichen, thematisieren Schottinnen in ihren tiefschwarzen Krimis zeitgemäße sozialpolitische Themen aus der Sicht der Frauen und fechten auf diese Weise gekonnt die traditionell männliche Subjektivität an. Anhand der thematischen Analyse dreier Romane der innovativsten Vertreterinnen des makabren Genres, Garnethill von Denise Mina, Hostage to Murder von Val McDermid und The Cutting Room von Louise Welsh, erörtert die vorliegende Arbeit die soziale Funktion des Krimis, und untersucht den innovativen Diskurs dieser Autorinnen im Bezug auf Schottlands sozialpolitische Landschaft.
Multi-criteria air traffic flow optimisation including uncertainty

description: Air Traffic Control (ATC) arose from the need to ensure safe separation between civil aircraft. Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) arose from the need to manage traffic flow conditions and demand. Both functions were developed in response to an arising need and not in anticipation of that need. Resultantly, the progression of the two functions has been met with significant limitations, as technology and practices fail to cope with increased demand. The increased number of aircraft movements far exceeded the development of ATFM technology, practices and procedures. The result of this is a system that delivers on passenger safety, but lacks in efficiency. Currently, civil aviation is burdened with myriad of issues including, but not limited to, high traffic demands, increased controller workload, limited available airspace capacity (the definition of airspace capacity is dependent on controller workload in addition to airspace) and dated technology. The issues that emerge from these limitations include, flight delays and uncertainty in aircraft trajectories.

This research focuses on more efficient and effective means of managing and utilising available information with the intention of reducing uncertainty in aircraft trajectories and improving decision making based on available information. This research presents a non-linear optimisation problem as an applied theory in support of the research aims. A multi-criteria weighted objective function is developed. The implementation of weights reflects a strategic prioritising approach to decision making. Dynamic re-optimisation is introduced within this research, building on the idea of incorporating more information into decision making and how information can be better utilised. Finally, a Monte Carlo simulation is explored alongside the multi criteria optimisation model in an attempt to establish a means of obtaining a statistical analysis of possible solutions within a given scenario.

This research produced results that demonstrated the benefits of the proposed theory. Fuel consumption savings were achieved when optimising for minimum overall fuel consumption independently. These savings were a result of a number of factors including changes to the flight trajectory, lower velocity during cruise and flying at higher altitudes. Once departure and arrival times were introduced into the objective function, efficiency in trajectories was evident through minimised delays in departure and arrival timings in addition to fuel consumption. Dynamic re-optimisation introduced a level of strategic decision making. The results indicated the benefits to efficiency that can be achieved from incorporating strategic decision making and reducing uncertainty. Overall, the results of this research support the research aims and objectives and provide answers to the proposed research questions.

description: In dieser Diplomarbeit werden die unterschiedlichsten Ansätze der Blindenkartographie aufgezeigt, deren Entwicklung gerade im Computer- und Internet Zeitalter rasante Fortschritte gemacht hat und noch immer macht. In diese Arbeit ist der Iststand dieser Entwicklung berücksichtigt wie er zu Ende 2008 gewesen ist. Sie bringt zu Beginn einen Überblick über die Geschichte der Blindenkartographie, wobei auf die Leistungen und Vorarbeiten jener Personen herausgestrichen werden, die dafür erste und Pionierarbeiten dafür erbracht haben. Schließlich werden ausgewählte taktile Karten aus verschiedenen Zeitabschnitten abgebildet und analysiert. Auch die Blindenschrift selbst, die ja für diese spezielle Kartographie von besonderer Wichtigkeit ist, wird eingehend behandelt. Ihr ist ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet, weil die Blindenkarten ja entsprechend beschriftet gehören. Dafür wird nicht nur die allgemein bekannte Brailleschrift angewendet, es werden auch Reliefschriften verwendet. Mit den taktilen Karten befasst sich ein weiterer Abschnitt, in dem auch auf die Herstellung dieses Kartentyps eingegangen wird. In einem weiteren Abschnitt werden die unterschiedlichen taktilen Karten nach ihrer Qualität und der Eignung für den Anwender beurteilt. Das konnte unter Mithilfe blinder und in der Materie erfahrener Personen durchgeführt werden. Gerade diese Kombination der Anwendung eigener Untersuchungskriterien in Kombination mit blinden Anwendern hat in einer gemeinsamen Analyse sicherlich wichtige Dinge aufgezeigt und sichere Ergebnisse geliefert. Ein Teil der vorliegenden Arbeit befasst sich auch mit diversen Projekten, die sich auf neueste Technologien stützen. Die Audiokartographie wird immer mehr zu einem bedeutenden Zentralthema der Kartographie für Blinde und bietet breite Anwendungsmöglichkeiten. Auch mit den Anwendungen von Farben in der Blindenkartographie befasst sich diese Arbeit.

description: As the world moves towards the sustainable ideology, it is important for organisations to participate in such innovations. The objective of this research is to develop a model of sustainable supply chain management adoption based on the theory of planned behaviour. Using data from Thailand’s automotive and electrical/electronic industries and employing the partial least squares structural equation technique, this research investigates managerial intention towards sustainable supply chain adoption. The result of the study demonstrates a strong relationship of managers’ attitude and perceived behavioural control towards the intention to adopt sustainable supply chain management practices. However, the variable of subjective norm shows a weak relationship towards the intention to adopt sustainable supply chain management. This may indicate that the elements of subjective norm such as market, customers, government and community are a lesser composite of sustainable adoption. Therefore, this may present an opportunity for a future research, focusing on the subjective norm/social perspective in conjunction to the adoption of sustainable supply chain management.

Training and evaluating champions: a skills acquisition training tool in badminton
Creators: name: Huynh, Minh
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The aim of this research was to examine if a visual based training method could improve badminton player's decision making and in game performance. This research comprises a collection of research problems relating 10 visual based training, digital learning and general tau theory in relation 10 badminton. Firstly (Chapter 1). the limitations of the traditional method of training are discussed, specifically dealing with the lack of cognitive training. A visual based training (VBT) is introduced to be integrated into the traditional method of training. This novel approach aims to improve not only the standard physical aspects of training, but also the cognitive components of decision making and awareness. Following this, both traditional and current theories of skill acquisition are discussed (Chapter 3) in relation to movement and skill development in sport. Chapter 4 details the methods used to complete this research, as well as describing the statistical procedures that are utilised for analysing the results of this dissertation. The subsequent chapters (5 - 8) discuss the various experiments that were conducted using this novel program as well as examining if a visual based approach is effective in training badminton players. Specifically, the research conducted revealed significant results using the VBT program. Participants were able to improve their performance both on the program and badminton court. These findings provide a new method of training badminton players. Future research could consider expanding upon the model presented, and include the analysis of individual strokes and doubles play

Compiler directed codesign for FPGA-based embedded systems
Creators: name: Hauff, Martin
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: As embedded systems designers increasingly turn to programmable logic technologies in place of off-the-shelf microprocessors, there is a growing interest in the development of optimised custom processing cores that can be designed on a per-application basis.

FPGAs blur the traditional distinction between hardware and software and offer the promise of application specific hardware acceleration. But realizing this in a general sense requires a significant departure from traditional embedded systems development flows. Whereas off-the-shelf processors have a fixed architecture, the same cannot be said of purpose-built FPGA-based processors. With this freedom comes the challenge of empirically determining the optimal boundary point between hardware and software. The fluidity of the hardware/software partition also poses an interesting challenge for compiler developers.

This thesis presents a tool and methodology that addresses these codesign challenges in a new way. Described as 'compiler-directed codesign', it makes use of a suitably modified compiler to help direct the development of a custom processor core on a per-application basis.

By exposing the compiler's internal representation of a compiled target program, visibility into those instructions, and hardware resources, that are most sought after by the compiler can be gained. This information is then used to inform further processor development and to determine the optimal partition between hardware and software. At each design iteration, the machine model is updated to reflect the available hardware resources, the compiler is rebuilt, and the target application is compiled once again. By including the compiler 'in-the-loop' of custom processor design, developers can accurately quantify the impact on performance caused by the addition or removal of specific hardware resources and iteratively converge on an optimal solution.

Compiler Directed Codesign has advantages over existing codesign methodologies because it offers both a concrete point from which to begin the partitioning process as well as providing quantifiable and rapid feedback of the merits of different partitioning choices. When applied to an Adaptive PCM Encoder/Decoder case study, the Compiler Directed Codesign technique yielded a custom processor core that was between 36% and 73% smaller, consumed between 11% to 19% less memory, and performed up to 10X faster than comparable general-purpose FPGA-based processor cores.

The conclusion of this work is that a suitably modified compiler can serve a valuable role in directing hardware/software partitioning on a per-application basis.
