description: The effects of Ca(II) on the structure of the cake layer in submerged membrane bioreactors (SMBRs) were investigated in this study. Three parallel laboratory-scale SMBRs were operated with synthetic municipal wastewater with three Ca(II) levels (82, 208 and 410 mg l−1). As the Ca(II) concentration increased, the sludge floc size increased and the molecular weight of the soluble microbial products (SMP) in the bulk liquid decreased. These observations were attributed to the neutralization and bridging function of Ca(II). Furthermore, Ca(II) addition did not change the thickness of the cake layer, but inhibited the deposition of other elements, such as Al, Si, Mg, and Fe. As a result of Ca(II) addition, the cake layer became less compact and more porous. The interspaces among the flocs in the cake layer helped to reduce the membrane fouling potential.

IFTHSE Global 21: heat treatment and surface engineering in the twenty-first century Part 10 – Thermal spray coatings: a technology review
Creators: name: Saber-Samandari, S.
name: Berndt, Christopher
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Thermal spray coatings (TSCs) are used widely in all major industrial sectors and are a cost effective technique for surface engineering solutions. These coatings are used, for example, as wear resistant layers, thermal barrier coatings and within aqueous corrosion environments. Metals, polymers, ceramics and combinations of these materials can be deposited within an industrial shop setting or in the field at the point of use. The thermal spray technique has been well documented from the perspective of the operational science and engineering applications. The economic perspective is not as well known since currency changes and local market conditions are fluid. There is, though, a wealth of information concerning success stories of TSCs within the various sectors of industry. This paper focuses on applications of TSCs within mainstream industrial sectors. The intent is to relate the microstructure and so formed physical properties of TSCs to their benefits and attributes as solutions for adverse engineering environments.

Performance Analysis of IEEE 802.11 WLANs With Saturated and Unsaturated Sources

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper proposes a comprehensive but tractable model of IEEE 802.11 carrying traffic from a mixture of saturated and unsaturated (Poisson) sources, with potentially different quality-of-service (QoS) parameters, i.e., TXOP limit, CWmin, and CWmax. The model is used to investigate the interaction between these two types of sources, which is particularly useful for systems seeking to achieve load-independent 'fair' service differentiation. We show that, when the TXOP limit for unsaturated sources is greater than one packet, batches are distributed as a geometric random variable clipped to TXOP limit. Furthermore, we present asymptotic results for access delay distribution, which indicates that it is infeasible to obtain real-time service in the presence of eight or more saturated sources, regardless of the real-time traffic load, given that all stations use a CWmin of 32.
Corrosion protection of mesoporous bioactive glass coating on biodegradable magnesium

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: A mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) coating was synthesized and coated on pure Mg substrate using a sol-gel dip-coating method. The MBG coating uniformly covered the Mg substrate with a thickness of 1.5m. Electrochemical and immersion tests were performed in order to investigate the biodegradation performance of Mg with and without different surface coatings in simulated body fluids (SBF) at 37 degrees C. Results revealed that the MBG coated Mg displayed a significantly lower biodegradation rate, in comparison with normal bioactive glass (BG) coated and uncoated Mg samples.

description: The main difficulties when analyzing pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in solid environmental samples is the complexity of the samples and the low concentration levels of such pollutants. Most efforts are focused in achieving good analytical performance parameters such as high recoveries or low detection limits without considering if the methods are environmentally friendly. In this work, the main tools proposed for assessing the greenness of analytical methodologies (Analytical Eco-scale, Green Analytical Procedure Index (GAPI), and Analytical GREEnness metric (AGREE)) have been applied to nine analytical procedures that include recent important analytical tendencies. The three metrics identified the paper spray ionization method as the greenest procedure since it used untreated samples for direct mass spectrometry analysis. Using Analytical Eco-scale, most of the evaluated procedures were rated as “acceptable green”. However, the use of internal standards resulted key in the environmental impact of the method which provided contradictory results versus other metrics. GAPI found greenness similarities between most of selected methods, hindering a greenness classification. AGREE allowed the weighting of each evaluation criterion providing a greenness ranking. The application of each metric detecting their weaknesses and strengths was discussed. The incorporation of validation analytical features in greenness metrics was a gap revealed.

description: The concept of cloud computing has been wide spreading very recently. Cloud computing has many unique advantages which can be utilised to facilitate (cloud) workflow execution. Transaction-intensive cost-constrained cloud workflows are workflows with a large number of workflow instances (i.e. transaction intensive) bounded by a certain budget for execution (i.e. cost constrained) in a cloud computing environment (i.e. cloud workflows). However, there are not any specific scheduling algorithms so far for transaction-intensive cost-constrained cloud workflows. This paper presents a novel scheduling algorithm which considers the characteristics of cloud computing to accommodate transaction-intensive cost-constrained workflows by compromising execution time and cost with user input enabled on the fly. The simulation performed demonstrates that the algorithm can reduce the mean execution cost while meeting the user-requested deadline.

description: During recent years, water managers and water users in the Netherlands experienced water shortages in numerous streams. Besides low rainfall amounts and high temperatures, anthropogenic alterations to the groundwater system are also responsible for the reduced baseflow in streams. These alterations may reduce resilience and increase a risk to streams as more droughts are expected in the Netherlands due to climate change. We propose a methodology to assess the impact of groundwater-related alterations and climate change on baseflow and environmental flow needs (EFN). Application of this methodology for two sandy catchments showed that, under average meteorological conditions, baseflow in the main streams still meets the EFN requirements. During dry years, baseflow is probably insufficient in the upper parts of the catchments. Anthropogenic alterations show a significant impact: drainage caused 25–40% baseflow reduction, groundwater abstractions caused 5–28% and climate change will potentially cause an additional reduction of 33–70% by 2050.

description: Impact attenuation performance of three different range of commercial bicycle helmet were investigated in lateral drop impact test in accordance to AS/NZS 2063:2008, Australian/New Zealand Standard for bicycle helmet using numerical simulation and and experimental impact test. The aim of this research is to develop a simulation model of drop impact test, which to be used in further investigations of user-centred design approach of bicycle helmet. Three commercial bicycle helmet models were used in this study. All helmets and J headform were scanned using Flexscan 3D scanning equipment. Post-scan processing jobs of scanned geometry models such as helmet liner, shell and headform were conducted in Geomagic Studio 12. The experimental impact test is carried out using 2-wire drop test facility in accordance to the AS/NZS 2063:2008, Australian Standard for bicycle helmet. A few samples were cut from the liner of each helmet to determine the density of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS). Headform peak linear acceleration, impact duration and impact speed of each helmet were measured and recorded from the drop test. The scanned geometry models were imported into Abaqus. A drop impact simulation was developed based on the density and impact speed data obtained from the physical test. Inner liner of bicycle helmet, made from Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), was modeled using crushable foam properties, while headform and anvil were modeled as rigid bodies. Peak linear accelerations and impact duration of the headform on each helmet at three different impact locations of helmet were recorded. A robust correlation study using peak linear acceleration score, impact duration score and Pearson correlation coefficient between the data from physical test and numerical model was conducted. Good correlation scores (>80%) were achieved between the numerical model and experimental impact test in terms of headform peak linear acceleration and impact duration score, suggesting that the simulation model is in good correlation with those from physical test.

description: Three iso-structural Zn(II), Cd(II), and Hg(II) complexes with 1-benzyl-2-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole (BPB), ZnBPB, CdBPB, and HgBPB, respectively, were synthesized by reaction of the ligand with the corresponding metal chlorides in methanolic solutions. The complexes [MCl2(BPB)2], where M = Zn(II), Cd(II), or Hg(II), were characterized by elemental analysis, 13C, 1H, and [1H–15N] heteronuclear multiple bond coherence NMR measurements, and Raman spectroscopy. The structures of the cadmium and mercury complexes were solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, while the structure of the zinc complex was determined by X-ray powder diffraction. The three compounds crystallize in the triclinic system in P-1 space group with the metal ions lying in a distorted tetrahedral environment. The zinc complex shows high luminescence in the solid state at room temperature.

Momentum-resolved radio-frequency spectroscopy of ultracold atomic Fermi gases in a spin-orbit-coupled lattice
Creators: name: Liu, Xiaji
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We investigate theoretically momentum-resolved radio-frequency (rf) spectroscopy of a noninteracting atomic Fermi gas in a spin-orbit coupled lattice. This lattice configuration has been recently created at MIT for 6Li atoms, by coupling the two hyperfine spin states with a pair of Raman laser beams and additional rf coupling. Here, we show that momentum-resolved rf spectroscopy can measure single-particle energies and eigenstates and therefore resolve the band structure of the spin-orbit coupled lattice. In our calculations, we take into account the effects of temperatures and harmonic traps. Our predictions are to be confronted with future experiments on spin-orbit coupled Fermi gases of 40K atoms in a lattice potential.

description: Presenters notes and handout from a presentation given at the 2021 Annual Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature. The presentation abstract follows:

While myth critics have thoroughly explored the influence of Euripides’ Bacchae on the canonical Acts, the potential influence of his Orestes (in tandem with his twin Iphigenia plays), as well as Aeschylus’ Oresteia has gone overlooked. Here we outline the sagas of Orestes and the Paul of Acts in parallel: guilty of murder, subjected to religious madness, mended to health by a friend, sent on a divine mission, accompanied by faithful travel-mates, making a speech of self-defense on the Areopagus, and narrowly escaping mob execution at a major center of Artemis worship. Besides these parallel plot-lines, we detail numerous ways in which the Pauline narrative exhibits hallmark literary and thematic features of Greek drama and novels, such as the transformation of the hero's character, the contrast of folly and wisdom, the negotiation of Greek and non-Greek identity, the inevitability of the divine will as mused by the narrator, and deus ex machina pivot points and resolutions. Finally, we seek to divine the purpose of such mythical characterization: providing meaningful cultural analogues to scaffold readerly understanding; referencing commonplace cultural iconography; engaging in entertainment characteristic of novelistic fiction; engendering Roman sympathy for Jews committed to pacifism; repositioning Jewish aniconism as a form of Greek philosophy; embracing the philhellenic policies of Hadrian; invoking the foundational Greek etiology of trial law to apply to Jesus-followers; and forming a literary-mythological foundation for Pauline hero cult.

Impurity probe of topological superfluids in one-dimensional spin-orbit-coupled atomic Fermi gases
Creators: name: Liu, Xiaji
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We investigate theoretically nonmagnetic impurity scattering in a one-dimensional atomic topological superfluid in harmonic traps by solving self-consistently the microscopic Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation. In sharp contrast to topologically trivial Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer s-wave superfluid, topological superfluid can host a midgap state that is bound to localized nonmagnetic impurity. For strong impurity scattering, the bound state becomes universal, with nearly zero energy and a wave function that closely follows the symmetry of that of Majorana fermions.We propose that the observation of such a universal bound state could be useful evidence for characterizing the topological nature of topological superfluids. Our prediction is applicable to an ultracold, resonantly interacting Fermi gas of 40K atoms with spin-orbit coupling confined in a two-dimensional optical lattice.
Virial expansion for a strongly correlated Fermi system and its application to ultracold atomic Fermi gases
Creators: name: Liu, Xiaji
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Strongly correlated Fermi system plays a fundamental role in very different areas of physics, from neutron stars, quark-gluon plasmas, to high temperature superconductors. Despite the broad applicability, it is notoriously difficult to be understood theoretically because of the absence of a small interaction parameter. Recent achievements of ultracold trapped Fermi atoms near a Feshbach resonance have ushered in enormous changes. The unprecedented control of interaction, geometry and purity in these novel systems has led to many exciting experimental results, which are to be urgently understood at both low and finite temperatures. Here we review the latest developments of virial expansion for a strongly correlated Fermi gas and their applications on ultracold trapped Fermi atoms. We show remarkable, quantitative agreements between virial predictions and various recent experimental measurements at about the Fermi degenerate temperature. For equation of state, we discuss a practical way of determining high-order virial coefficients and use it to calculate accurately the long-sought third-order virial coefficient, which is now verified firmly in experiments at ENS and MIT. We discuss also virial expansion of a new many-body paramter---Tan's contact. We then turn to less widely discussed issues of dynamical properties. For dynamic structure factor, the virial prediction agrees well with the measurement at the Swinburne University of Technology. For single-particle spectral function, we show that the expansion up to the second order accounts for the main feature of momentum-resolved rf-spectroscopy for a resonantly interacting Fermi gas, as recently reported by JILA. In the near future, more practical applications with virial expansion are possible, owing to the ever-growing power in computation.

description: Physical models are desirable in engineering education as they enhance visual literacy, provide insight into critical design failure modes and design attributes, and can be implemented in a classroom scenario in concert with multimedia displays and lecture slides. Despite the advantage, such physical models are often: not commercially available; are excessively costly; are not tailored to the intended learning outcomes; or are difficult to share across multiple geographic locations.

 This family has incited many discussions and works over the years both for recent and for fossil species. Almost all of the species are ectoparasites of soft-bodied invertebrates (e.g. polychaete worms and other molluscs) (Dinapoli et al. 2011). Taxonomic descriptions have been based on the teleoconch morphology and especially on the protoconch according to descriptions and illustrations of Peñas et al. (1996). Works on the phylogenies of the family are few, which complicates the correct assignment of species to genera.

description: Information mining has never been more crucial in
organizational decision making than now. Without information and communication technologies (ICTs), most companies, particularly the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would not be able to survive the demands of the current volatile economic
conditions. Hence, this paper reports the findings from the assessment of ICT usage by 110 SMEs in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. Specifically, the usage of enterprise resource planning system (ERP) was assessed and the outcome showed that SMEs in
Malaysia are still lagging in computer usage for improved organizational decision. The implications for non-usage bode negatively for SME’s sustained survival although the government continued to offer assistance through the annual budget allocation. The findings of this study showed that the perceived
ease of use and perceived usefulness had significant relationship with the ERP system usage. A strong and visionary leader would provide the basis to push the SMEs to achieve better returns of investment.

Fulde-Ferrell pairing instability of a Rashba spin-orbit-coupled Fermi gas
Creators: name: Liu, Xiaji
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We theoretically analyze the pairing instability of a three-dimensional ultracold atomic Fermi gas towards a Fulde-Ferrell superfluid, in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling and in-plane Zeeman field. We use the standard Thouless criterion for the onset of superfluidity, with which the effect of pair fluctuations is partially taken into account by approximately using a mean-field chemical potential at zero temperature. This gives rise to an improved prediction of the superfluid transition temperature beyond mean field, particularly in the strong-coupling unitary limit. We also investigate the pairing instability with increasing Rashba spin-orbit coupling, along the crossover from a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer superfluid to a Bose-Einstein condensate of rashbons (i.e., the tightly bound state of two fermions formed by strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling).
VoIP Capacity—Analysis, Improvements, and Limits in IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN

description: Wireless voice over internet protocol (VoIP) is an important emerging service in telecommunication due to its potential for replacing cell phone communication wherever a wireless local area network (WLAN) is installed. Recent studies, however, suggest that the number of voice calls that can be supported in the widely deployed IEEE 802.11 WLAN is limited. In this paper, we utilize a so-called transmission opportunity (TXOP) parameter of a medium access control (MAC) protocol as a simple solution to improve the VoIP capacity. We provide a detailed analytical model to show that the capacity can significantly be improved and discuss the implications of the TXOP parameter in terms of the maximum number of calls the IEEE 802.11 network can support. The analytical results are validated by simulations for a wide range of parameters. Furthermore, we investigate the impact of the buffer at the access point (AP) on the number of obtainable voice calls. We show that there exists an optimal buffer size where the maximum voice capacity is achieved, but further increasing the buffer beyond this value will not result in an increased voice capacity. Based on this finding, a closed-form expression for the maximum number of voice calls is developed as a function of the TXOP value. Finally, we propose a simple yet accurate approximation for voice-capacity estimation and provide some insights gained from the approximation.

description: The non-catalytic high-temperature oxidation of hexafluoropropene (HFP) by gaseous oxygen was carried out isothermally in a long tubular reactor (114.3 m length, 1/8-inch nominal diameter). The process was investigated at a total pressure of 450 kPa and over the temperature range of 453 to 503 K. Feed mixtures comprising 20 to 67% HFP in oxygen were used at total flow rates between 150 and 550 cm3 · min−1, resulting in space-times from 80 to 160 s. 2,2,3-Trifluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)-oxirane (hexafluoropropene oxide; HFPO), trifluoroacetyl fluoride, and carbonyl fluoride were identified as major oxidation products. In addition, tetrafluoroethene and hexafluorocyclopropane were found in the exit gas as well. The reactor operating conditions were optimized independently for HFPO selectivity and yield using a quadratic response surface technique. A maximum HFPO selectivity of 55.81% was found at conditions of 478.2 K, a HFP/O2 molar feed ratio of 1.34 mol · mol−1, and a space-time of 113 s. An optimum HFPO yield of 40.1% was identified at conditions of 483.2 K, a HFP/O2 molar feed ratio of 1.16 mol · mol−1, and a space-time of 121 s. Using a multi-response optimization technique, a combined optimum HFPO selectivity and yield of 56% and 40%, respectively, was obtained at conditions of 480 K, a HFP/O2 molar feed ratio of 1.21 mol · mol−1, and a space-time of 118 s. This represented the best trade-off between these two performance criteria. A parallel scaleup strategy was suggested for increasing throughput for industrial application.
