description: Quorum sensing (QS) is an important regulatory mechanism in biofilm formation and differentiation. Interference with QS can affect biofilm development and antimicrobial susceptibility. This study evaluates the potential of selected phytochemical products to inhibit QS. Three isothiocyanates (allylisothiocyanate – AITC, benzylisothiocyanate – BITC and 2-phenylethylisothiocyanate – PEITC) and six phenolic products (gallic acid – GA, ferulic acid – FA, caffeic acid – CA, phloridzin – PHL, (−) epicatechin – EPI and oleuropein glucoside – OG) were tested. A disc diffusion assay based on pigment inhibition in Chromobacterium violaceum CV12472 was performed. In addition, the mechanisms of QS inhibition (QSI) based on the modulation of N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHLs) activity and synthesis by the phytochemicals were investigated. The cytotoxicity of each product was tested on a cell line of mouse lung fibroblasts. AITC, BITC and PEITC demonstrated a capacity for QSI by modulation of AHL activity and synthesis, interfering the with QS systems of C. violaceum CviI/CviR homologs of LuxI/LuxR systems. The cytotoxic assays demonstrated low effects on the metabolic viability of the fibroblast cell line only for FA, PHL and EPI.

Study and Evaluation of Multilayer PCB Manufacturing Inaccuracies on Malfunctioning of Circui
Creators: name: Hgigat, Aregawi
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The PCB is a mechanical base used for interconnection of electronic components. In PCB manufacturing industry, the quality and reliability of circuits is highly dependent upon the accuracy of the manufacturing processes. Because of the different factors affecting the processes to function imperfectly, manufacturing processes inaccuracies like photolithography inaccuracy, etching inaccuracy, drilling inaccuracies and inaccuracies in other processes may be encountered. These inaccuracies cause severe problems that may result in degradation of circuit performance and malfunctioning of circuits. In this research the levels of effects of the manufacturing inaccuracies on the malfunctioning of PCB circuits is investigated and analyzed. The effects of each process inaccuracies on circuits as well as how the processes are related with the affecting parameters are addressed in this thesis. A four-layer multilayer board is considered and the software selected to study the effects of manufacturing inaccuracies is OrCAD PCB designer. The major PCB manufacturing processes considered are Photolithography, Etching, and Drilling. Schematic development, PSpice simulation and layout design are made for selected circuits to study the effects of inaccuracies. According to the results obtained, drum speed, resolution and ratio of track to track spacing are the affecting parameters in Photo plotting while depth of focus, dose and mask bias variations are the factors affecting photolithography. In addition, inaccurate etching results in either larger or smaller width of traces, leaves unwanted conductive materials, creates unnecessary holes or open circuits and short circuits. In the case of drilling, when there is wrongly or inappropriately drilled, the top and bottom layers may not be connected and creates open circuit. In the over etching case simulation, 64 % of the output voltage reduction occurred for a 69% increase in resistance. This simply considering only one simple scenario the effect will be even worsened when similar individual effects are added to it. For capacitive effects, the output becomes unstable and oscillating.

description: Up to date, Holonic Manufacturing System (HMS), one of novel concepts to meet the increasingly globalization and customization of the manufacturing processes, has been conceptually constructed, and prototyping systems, Holonic Fixturing Station (HOLOFIX), Holonic Autonomous Guided Vehicles (H-AGVs) etc. were developed with enhanced performances in their specific processes. This paper presented an Objected Oriented Technology (OOT)-supported migration approach to holonic robot assembly cell. Based on the analysis of activities in the flexible assembly cell, an architecture of workstation for holonic robot assembly cell was proposed. The holonic robot workstation was established by incorporating a control computer that performs production planning, shop floor control and local operations into each of robot systems in the flexible assembly cell, workstations of this kind functions as the building blocks of holonic robot assembly cell. The holonic robot assembly cell employs a dynamic holarchy evolution mechanism to carry out assembly tasks. The entire implementation was conducted on the Flexible Assembly System in PMA/Leuven.

Hydraulic Network Modeling of the Existing Water Distribution System of Addis Ababa City (Legedadi sub system as a case study)
Creators: name: Tessema, Dureti
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: The primary goal of this study is to review the hydraulic performance of the existing distribution system of the city, Addis Ababa, Legedadi subsystem which is aimed to help the city understand its distribution system needs and assist them in long-term planning of water assets. The scope of the study is to evaluate the performance of the existing drinking water distribution system using hydraulic simulation software in integration with GIS, and recommends the possible remedies to improve the efficiency of the existing system. The hydraulic simulation software used for this study is Water CAD V8i distributed by Bentley Systems. Bentley Water CAD V8i was selected due to ease of model building and operation and its greater programming capabilities as compared to EPAnet. Hydraulic modeling of the system is performed by considering the system as a continuous supply system, and the evaluation process adopted the Extended Period Simulation method. The system has been checked for different scenarios and alternatives to deepen our investigation. Considering, the model is calibrated at specific locations and the results with field measurements show reasonable difference, so that we use some fine tuning using Hazen Williams C –value to align with the field data. As a matter of fact, I have proved that, there is hydraulic inefficiency in the existing water system to serve the city (Legedadi sub system) and to cope with the future demand. The outputs show that the network is exposed to relatively high and low values of pressure and velocity, which have negative effects on the performance of the network as well as in the water quality of the system. Besides, failure is forecasted in considering the age of pipes for reinstallation and maintenance. As a result, Pipes with ages more than 30 years are replaced and over and under sized pipes have been re-sized. Consequently, the Hazen Williams C-value has been totally improved and it enhances the system performance. The evaluation study of the water hammer in the Addis Ababa distribution system, which has been implemented to investigate the effects of this phenomena shows that the water hammer values increase by increasing the velocity of water in pipes, and the values of shock pressures were within the limits of the shock pressures in water pipes systems. In the study, the major hydraulic parameters, the variations, and the relations between them and other factors, which control the performance of the water supply networks are considered and discussed in detail during analysis. To this end, the network is assessed and possible corrections are given for Optimum water supply network even using Darwin Optimum Pipe Network Designer tool so as to at least the system meet the required design criterion as a constraints. Moreover, the Legedadi subsystem has been categorized for 14 optimum Pressure zones with their corresponding Reservoirs (Pumping stations).

description: In the field of structural engineering, lightweight and resistant shell structures can be designed by efficiently integrating and optimizing form, structure and function to achieve the capability to sustain a variety of loading conditions with a reduced use of resources. Interestingly, a limitless variety of high-performance shell structures can be found in nature. Their study can lead to the acquisition of new functional solutions that can be employed to design innovative bioinspired constructions. In this framework, the present study aimed to illustrate the main results obtained in the mechanical analysis of the echinoid test in the common sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816) and to employ its principles to design lightweight shell structures. For this purpose, visual survey, photogrammetry, three-dimensional modelling, three-point bending tests and finite-element modelling were used to interpret the mechanical behaviour of the tessellated structure that characterize the echinoid test. The results achieved demonstrated that this structural topology, consisting of rigid plates joined by flexible sutures, allows for a significant reduction of bending moments. This strategy was generalized and applied to design both free-form and form-found shell structures for architecture exhibiting improved structural efficiency.
Rainwater harvesting for Addis Ababa city; a Case of Jemo Condominium site

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: The main objective of this thesis is to assess the potential of rain water harvesting practice to solve problems of both increasing water demand and storm water in Addis Ababa city. The research is carried out based on case-study of Jemo condominium site, from November 2014 to May 2015 that is found in the south western part of Addis Ababa city. The site has about 337 residential blocks with an average roof area of 286m2 and 50 communal blocks with an average roof area of 216m2 roof area and serves for about 9,800 households in which they serve for about 42,140 population. A descriptive quantitative study was carried out in order to achieve the objectives of the study. A monthly rainfall data, catchment characteristics, roof material, population data, water consumption and water demand data were collected from primary and secondary sources. People's attitude and practice towards rainwater was also assessed. The collected data was analyzed using different tools including samsamwater RWH model, Google earth, rainwater harvester, AutoCAD, MS Excel spread sheets and etc. Calibration and validation of the finding was carried out using appropriate instruments. Based on the findings the total annual rainfall in an average year is 1219mm. A 6 months of water consumption data of Jemo I collected from AAWSA Mekanisa branch shows that only 30% of the demand is supplied to residents by the municipality at private water pipes. The average annual RWH potential at Jemo I condominium site is not enough to fulfill the total water demand at this site. However, it might still be worthwhile to construct a rainwater harvesting system. With a storage reservoir of 113400 litres (113.4 m3) for a single building a rainwater harvesting system could provide about 36% of non-potable demand and RWH can reduce water demand problems by 36% for only non-potable demands and 10% for all domestic demands based on the current AAWSA standard. The total cumulative runoff generation from this site throughout the year is 723,450m3 and the amount of water that RWH system only from roof tops can harvest could be 90,290.2m3. With this estimation RWH from roof tops at Jemo condominium site can reduce runoff by 12%. This contributes for sustainable storm water management and best management practices. Therefore RWH has many benefits once it is applied for any building for sustainable alternative water supply and sustainable storm water management. The big problem here will be the size of storage tank should be big enough since the rainfall is concentrated for limited months which will not be cost effective but related to other interventions RWH is more cost effective and sustainable than other options.

Assistance from a distance: library liaison to online students: sustainability perspectives
Creators: name: Roberts, Susan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper explores some sustainability issues as they relate to library services for a growing cohort of online university students. The students in question come from a range of educational backgrounds, countries and cultures. Addressing their needs has become increasingly important as the amount of information available continues to grow, the nature of information access changes, and the number of students taking up online study also grows. Lifelong learning has long been recognised as necessary to adapt to changing roles in the information rich society and the resulting need to upgrade education and work skills. The IFLA statement on libraries and sustainable development highlights the importance of improving educational and social skills in an information rich society. One of the results of development is the explosion of information; with that comes the need to be able to filter the good information from the bad. This author is convinced that the increasing amount and easy availability of information mean that the development of information literacy skills is more critical than ever. As Gorman1 argues, the key to bridging the literacy divide (thus being a contributor to sustainable development) is information literacy; the ability to understand, filter, evaluate and use information. Using the example of Open Universities Australia (OUA) students, the paper focuses on the emerging role of Distance Liaison Librarian at Swinburne University of Technology. Library services to support distance learning and information literacy needs are scrutinised in terms of the particular requirements of the growing numbers who are choosing to study online. A review of the literature to identify issues of sustainability in relation to library services to online students, particularly addressing the development of information literacy skills is followed by an exploration of the characteristics, needs and challenges of these students. Enabling and supporting these students to develop high order information literacy skills in an online environment raises questions about possible implications for academic library services should the trend to study online increase.

description: To say that there is a mismatch between Australian and Chinese thinking is self evident. Identifying the two landscapes and looking for points where a bridges can be constructed becomes an imperative if collaboration is seen as desirable by both people groups. Personal experience has shown the range of difficulties that exist and it is a very fine line between success and failure when measured by mutual success and bilateral cooperation. When reading this paper it is necessary to consider a number of participants and the paper is limited to higher education. Participants include: Universities (chancellery, teacher, students, and administrators); Education Agents and Intermediaries; Governments (ministries of education, immigration, etc.). These are the tangible participants but we also need to consider intangibles including: Enculturation; Systems; Policies and Agencies (i.e. drivers of changes +ve and -ve); etc. To consider each in detail in this paper is not plausible but awareness is important. We will briefly highlight that any lasting bridge (i.e. value and emphasis of long term mutual relationship networks) between universities, and associate service groups, within the two nations requires two core aspects that rarely see the light of day in what would normally be master-servant business relationships - i.e. trust and equity - not seeking undue advantage or exploitation. We are also introducing in this position paper the concept of International Learning Complementation which we will define and discuss. When considering your own experiences in the light of this paper: firstly, describe your own practice - good, bad, uncertainties, etc. then reflect upon what 'bridging the gap' would look like relative to what you are about to read. Such an exercise will show where we all can gain when observations are communicated - in our case at the 2nd International Forum of Business Education - 2007, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia.

In particular, this study focuses on the editorial commentary produced by then sub-editor Nino Randazzo for the newspaper between 1959 and 1969, a period of Australian Post-war history where notably discriminatory immigration policy and racist attitudes were expressed toward non-Anglo Saxon background residents, creating hardship for settling CALD communities in Australia. Previous study has failed to produce consistent cross-sectional and nonpartisan analysis of Il Globo’s editorial commentary. This study conducts content analysis to research consistently the editorial content of Il Globo in relation to Italian migration, the Australian Immigration Department and Policy, including assimilationist/integrationist phenomena, the problems of immigration for Italian migrants, and issues related thereto.

Impact of cultural change and acculturation on the health and help seeking behaviour of Vietnamese-Australians
Creators: name: Ohtsuka, Thai
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study investigated the influence of cultural change and acculturation on health-related help seeking behaviour of Vietnamese-Australians. Using convenience sampling, 94 Vietnamese-Australians, 106 Anglo-Australians, and 49 Vietnamese in Vietnam participated in the study. Beliefs about health and health-related help-seeking behaviours were assessed through measures of common mental health symptoms, illness expression (somatisation, psychologisation), symptom causal attributions (environmental, psychological, biological), and choice of help seeking (self-help, family/friends, spiritual, mental health, Western medicine, Eastern medicine).Vietnamese-Australian data was compared with that of the Anglo-Australian and Vietnamese-in Vietnam. Results revealed that the help seeking behaviours and health related cognitions of Vietnamese-Australians, while significantly different from those of Anglo-Australians, were similar to those of Vietnamese in Vietnam. Specifically, both Vietnamese groups were less likely than Anglo-Australians to somatise and psychologise or attribute the cause of symptoms to environmental, psychological or biological causes. However, the two Vietnamese groups were not different from each other in their style of illness expression or in their symptom causal attributions. The Vietnamese-Australians reported experiencing more mental health symptoms than the Vietnamese in Vietnam but fewer than the Anglo-Australians. In relation to help seeking, the Anglo-Australians chose self-help more than the Vietnamese, but there were few other differences between the cultural groups. To investigate the influence of acculturation on health-related beliefs and help seeking behaviour, Vietnamese-Australians were compared according to their modes of acculturation (integration, assimilation, separation, and marginalisation). Generally, results showed a distinct pattern of response. Those with high levels of acculturation towards the Australian culture (the integration and the assimilation) were found to be most similar (in that they scored the highest in most areas measured) to the Anglo-Australians, while few differences were found between the separated and the marginalised groups. Further, cultural orientation was a powerful predictor of help seeking. In that, original cultural orientation predicted selection of help seeking from Western and Eastern medicine, whereas, the host cultural orientation was a more robust predictor of the other variables. However, neither cultural orientation predicted preference for mental health help. Finally, the study found that, although the combination of symptom score, modes of illness expression, and symptom causal attribution were strong predictors of choice of help seeking of Vietnamese-Australians, acculturation scores further improved predictive power. The results were discussed in terms of the various limitations and constraints on interpretation of this complex data set.

title: Mental health trajectories of Canadian young adults and older population index: evidence from the National Population Health Survey (1994-2011)
Creators: name: Li, Zhuoru
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: This study is primarily aimed to identify distinct subgroups of individuals following similar mental health conditions over a 16-year follow-up using the latent class growth modeling (LCGM). We also provided the description of characteristics of each trajectory group. Mental health trajectory analysis can show the long-term age-related developmental changes of young adults (18-29 at baseline) and older population's (60-75 at baseline) mental health condition. The National Population Health Survey (NPHS), from 1994 to 2011 was used for this study. The results showed that the mental health conditions among the survey population during the follow-up period were not homogeneous, and there existed several common group patterns of mental health conditions at different age groups. The young adult group consisted of 2661 subjects, ranging from 18 to 45 years of age; while the senior group consisted of 2036 subjects, ranging from 60 to 91 years of age. Four trajectories were identified among the young adults' population, and two trajectories among the older population. Mental Health trajectory group memberships were related to numerous variables, including sex, socialeconomic status, lifestyle, as well as physical conditions. Through analyzing trajectories and attributes of different trajectories, this study might contribute to understanding the psychological conditions of the Canadian population.

Predicting consumer innovative behaviour using alternative theories and likelihood measures: a longitudinal study
Creators: name: McDonald, Heath
name: Alpert, Frank
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper reports on a longitudinal study of consumers, where two dominant theories that purport to predict innovative behavior are applied and compared directly, using a methodology suggested as ideal by past researchers. Predictions made prior to launch were then evaluated against multiple measures of purchase likelihood, and against actual adoption behavior up to 12 months after launch. The results of this study suggest that perceptions of the innovations characteristics (PIC) predicted the selfreported likelihood of adoption better than the Domain Specific Innovativeness (DSI) scale, a personality-based measure. Prediction of actual adoption was largely inaccurate and both theories massively over predicted adoption levels, however the DSI scale was slightly more accurate. The conclusions here are that no one theory could make adequate predictions of behavior, that purchase likelihood measures are a poor substitute for measuring actual behavior but that purchase probability scales should be used more often in adoption research.
Understanding Health App Usage Through Data and Recommendation for Future Design

description: The Covid-19 induced social isolation has resulted in an increase in the adoption of digital technology as a means for providing physical and mental healthcare. Additionally, while the internet has been beneficial in providing many services during the pandemic, its uncontrolled use leads to health risks in the form of internet addiction in individuals, particularly adolescents. This thesis aims to understand the users and their objective usage of physical and mental health apps while also presenting a theory-informed approach taking the case of internet addiction as a case study. Statistical analysis tools such as chi-squared tests and Mann-Whitney U test are utilized to study the change in usage of health apps before and during Covid. Furthermore, clustering analysis is used to identify the user archetypes of health apps and the interactions within family internet addiction. The results from the analyses showed the change in usage amongst health app users during Covid-19; however, the user engagement and retention for health apps were minimal. Further results also identified two mental health user archetypes and three physical health user archetypes based on personality, average usage, and satisfaction with life. Identifying these user archetypes may help app developers distinguish who the users of health apps are and may increase user engagement with health apps. The study results found three different interactions based on the interplay between parents’ internet addiction, adolescent internet addiction, internet parenting types, and parent-child conflict. Experts can use the interactions to develop effective intervention and prevention strategies aimed at parents and adolescents to reduce adolescent IA.
