description: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to assist computational social science research. While prior efforts have focused on text, the potential of leveraging multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) for online video studies remains underexplored. We conduct one of the first case studies on MLLM-assisted video content analysis, comparing AI's interpretations to human understanding of abstract concepts. We leverage LLaVA-1.6 Mistral 7B to interpret four abstract concepts regarding video-mediated self-disclosure, analyzing 725 keyframes from 142 depression-related YouTube short videos. We perform a qualitative analysis of MLLM's self-generated explanations and found that the degree of operationalization can influence MLLM's interpretations. Interestingly, greater detail does not necessarily increase human-AI alignment. We also identify other factors affecting AI alignment with human understanding, such as concept complexity and versatility of video genres. Our exploratory study highlights the need to customize prompts for specific concepts and calls for researchers to incorporate more human-centered evaluations when working with AI systems in a multimodal context.

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: One of the growing number of preventive bridge maintenance activities conducted by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is washing and applying thin film protective coatings to bridge abutments and piers. Previous work conducted by Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) under KYSPR 10-406 documented increased chloride contamination of these bridge components and the need for protective coatings. KYTC Contract ID 162952 includes, among other tasks, cleaning and coating specific concrete elements of eighteen bridges in Anderson and Woodford counties (District 7). These elements are interior faces of the barrier walls, pier caps, and abutment seats. The contract was let on July 29, 2016, with the primary completion date as July 31, 2017. There were five bids that ranged from $326,870.61 to $810,645.00 with the engineering estimate as $475,155.08. The contract was awarded to the low bidder, M&M Services Co. Inc., on August 5, 2016.

Of the coating systems identified in KYSPR 12-433 and KYSPR 05-291 the contractor selected the PPG Amerlock 2/Devoe Devflex HP system. Most of the systems were identified by laboratory testing with limited field application. This study focused on monitoring and documenting surface preparation, coating application, and field performance to determine the potential for use on future projects and possible inclusion of the coating on a List of Approved Materials for Concrete Coatings.

Six of the eighteen bridges in this contract were monitored, and critical elements in the overall process were assessed and documented. This included initial substrate condition, surface preparation, application method, applied film conditions (e.g., thickness, continuity), and weather conditions.

description: Chlorides, in sufficient concentrations, will cause corrosion of steel reinforcement in bridge decks. Previous studies have shown that de-icing chemicals and practices used by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) can result in problematic levels of chloride at steel reinforcing depths in a relatively short amount of time. With the advent of liquid applied pre-treatment deicing chemicals, testing performed in Kentucky indicate chloride levels in bridge decks at a depth of two inches have increased significantly.

With the advent of liquid applied pre-treatment deicing chemicals testing performed in Kentucky indicate chloride levels in bridge decks at a depth of two inches have increased significantly.

Key properties of concrete sealers are resistance to chloride migration into the concrete and good penetration of the sealer into the concrete. Depth of sealer penetration would help offset wheel path wear and enhance the durability of the treatment. However, when a concrete deck has minor cracking, the performance of penetrating sealers will be limited.

Recently several products have been promoted by manufacturers for potential use by the KYTC to seal bridge decks. The Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) was asked to test and evaluate some of these products. For this study KTC focused on four of these products. The process included specimen preparation, application of material, testing, and evaluation.

Barbarian nations in a civilizing empire: naturalizing the nation within the British Empire 1770-1870
Creators: name: Knapman, Gareth
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis examines the emergence of the nation in the British Empire in the process of thinking about empire, economy and biology during the late-Enlightenment and the nineteenth century. A key aspect of this, Knapman argues, was concern over the dialectic of civilization and order as it related to the barbarian and the savage. The notion of the barbarian grounded the European nations in time and therefore constructing a sense of origin and particularism. Equally the savage and the barbarian placed non-European cultures in time. The thesis draws on a range of writers from eighteenth and nineteenth centuries such as Adam Smith, Edward Gibbon, David Hume, Thomas Malthus, John Stuart Mill, Charles Darwin, James Cowles Prichard, Robert Knox and many other lesser-known figures. This is related to an examination of the nation in British representations of Southeast Asia, including colonial officials such as Stamford Raffles, John Crawfurd, and James Brooke who produced encyclopaedic accounts of their experiences in Asia. The thesis argues that while the complex grammar of the British Empire divided the world into spheres of civilisation and barbarism, it retained a special place for barbarians within the core and thus allowed for the naturalisation of nations within the context of an empire of civilizing others.

Mathematical analysis of film blowing
Creators: name: Bennett, James Cameron
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Film blowing is a highly complex industrial process used to manufacture thin plastic films for uses in a wide range of applications; for example, plastic bags. The mathematical modelling of this process involves the analysis of highly nonlinear differential equations describing the complex phenomena arising in the film blowing process, and requires a sophisticated mathematical approach. This dissertation applies an innovative combination of tools, namely analytic, numerical and heuristic mathematical techniques to the analysis of the film blowing process.

The research undertaken examines, in particular, a two-point boundary value problem arising from the modelling of the radial profile of the polymer film. For even the simplest modelling of this process, namely the isothermal Newtonian model, the resulting differential equation is a highly nonlinear, second order one, with an extra degree of difficulty due to the presence of a small parameter multiplying the highest derivative. Thus, the problem falls into the category of a nonlinear singular perturbation problem.

Analytic techniques are applied to the isothermal Newtonian blown film model to obtain a closed form explicit approximation to the film bubble radius. This is then used as a base approximation for an iterative numerical scheme to obtain an improved numerical solution of the problem. The process is extended to include temperature variations, varying viscosity (Power law model) and viscoelastic effects (Maxwell model). As before, closed form approximations are constructed for these models which are used to launch numerical schemes, whose solutions display good accuracy. The results compare well with results obtained by purely numerical solutions in the literature.
Improved Bridge Joint Materials and Design Details

description: Expansion joints accommodate bridge movements that result from factors such as thermal expansion and contraction, concrete shrinkage, creep effects, live loading, settlement of the foundation and substructure, and environmental stressors. Expansion joints fall into two categories — open joints and closed joints. Open joints contain gaps that facilitate the passage of water and debris runoff through bridge joints. Flexible or stiff troughs are generally installed beneath open joints to direct runoff away from bridge elements. Closed joints produce a watertight seal that inhibits water, debris, and deicing materials from passing through bridge joints and remaining in contact with underlying bridge components. This study investigated materials and design strategies to improve the performance of both open and closed joints. Wanting to improve the durability of compression and strip seals, which degrade over time or become detached from bridge decks, Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) researchers approached several seal manufacturers about developing new seals reinforced with puncture-resistant fibers such as Aramid. Ultimately, researchers were unable to reach an agreement with any manufacturer, as it appears they have little interest in developing better-performing conventional joint types, preferring instead to focus on producing new proprietary joint types. As the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) increases its use of proprietary joints, it should implement a rigorous monitoring program to track their performance. With respect to open joints, KTC investigated the use of self-purging troughs. First implemented by the Kansas Department of Transportation, they leverage the power of air flow and vibrations produced by traffic to improve the routing of water and debris through troughs and away from underlying bridge elements. Conventional troughs receive infrequent maintenance and can become clogged with debris. Self-purging troughs eliminate this problem, which can potentially help extend the service lives of bridges on which they are installed. KYTC will benefit from experimenting more widely with self-purging troughs.

description: The research in this thesis is an exploration of the experience of
      students on work placement as a part of their degree. Using Cultural
      Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) and the Change Laboratory (CL)
      methodology it investigates the barriers to business students using taught
      theoretical structures to understand their concrete practice and the use
      of the CL to address these barriers. The CL is a tool to raise awareness
      of contradictions that participants experience in their practice settings
      and seeks to empower them to resolve the contradictions. 12 participants
      from a Russell Group business school, working in a variety of
      organisations and locations, partook in an exploratory online CL.

      It was found that the primary contradiction that affected the students was
      expressed in their conception of education. The study suggested that they
      see taught theory as simply something to be learnt for assessment and not
      necessarily as a tool for shaping interventions in the business
      environment. The mediating power of theory was diluted, if not eclipsed,
      for the placement students by their experience of an education they felt
      to be focused on exam performance more than understanding the social world
      around them. The study further suggested that the use of a Change
      Laboratory, through its intentional intervention in the students’
      development helped them address this contradiction and begin to remediate
      theory.

      From this analysis the thesis examines the role of mediation in the
      internalisation/externalisation process detailed in CHAT. It extends the
      idea of vectors of mediation where each mediating component in an Activity
      System has both a magnitude and direction of mediation. Different
      mediating components can vary in the strength that they mediate a subjects
      understanding. The manner in which a subject perceives a mediating
      component can actually redirect the mediating force in such a way that it
      can be limited in its ability to mediate effectively.

Toward a post-digital practice of architectural representation: an animated re-engagement of architecture, visual effects and the moving image
Creators: name: Ratinam, Mathanraj
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: For over a decade there has been a great deal of interest in the creation of architectural forms from digital processes. Though this has undergone extensive experimentation and critique in academia, there has been significantly less attention paid to the way architects digitally represent architecture. Amid the abundance of digitally rendered images and animations of late, which have provided new opportunities for illustrating and disseminating architectural ideas, there are some concerning trends. They include: the narrowing of aesthetic outcomes through the current digital methods, leading to greater homogeneity and limiting the communicative potential of the outcomes; the complex, inappropriate and redundant techniques employed to develop imagery and animations; the privileging of a geometric description over the poetic qualities of architecture; and, perhaps unintentionally yet importantly, the re-characterising of representation as primarily an explicative practice as distinct from the equally reflective, reflexive and contemplative practice it once was. Exploring and addressing these concerns is the interest of this research.

This research examines through theoretical writings the current practices of digital representation and their results, and through two projects proposes more appropriate methodologies that would enhance the outcomes. By looking to the practice of visual effects in cinema through notable examples pertinent to architecture, we may begin reviewing current techniques and our ambitions of architectural representation. This is not merely to couple cinematic visual effects with the long-established tradition of architectural drawing as a fashionable counter, but rather to recognise their historic overlap; there was a time before the medium of film when visual effects sat clearly within the domain of architecture and painting.

As a Research by Project model of PhD, this exegesis explores and views all its interests, including the historical and theoretical work, through the lens of a practitioner.

The use of gold nanoparticles for tumour dose enhancement from microbeam radiotherapy
Creators: name: Annabell, Nathan
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are currently being trialled for use in a range of medical applications, including as a contrast agent for imaging tumours and radiotherapy. AuNPs have been shown to have a preferential uptake into tumorous cells over normal cells in vivo. As a result AuNPs could act as dose enhancers in radiotherapy, by providing a relative abundance of electrons for x-rays to ionise, in comparison to regular tissue. The use of AuNPs for dose enhancement with microbeam radiotherapy (MRT) techniques has been examined in this study. The chief findings of this research are:
[1] Monte Carlo simulations predict that the addition of AuNPs uniformly through tissue is not sufficient to produce a useful dose enhancement to a tumour volume at a clinically relevant depth. However, when the target concentration is 7 mg Au/g compared to the surrounding tissue’s 2 mg Au/g, then the dose enhancement factor rises to 1.87 for a broadbeam spectrum from BL28B2 at SPring-8 synchrotron.
[2] The important peak-to-valley dose ratio (PVDR) of a microbeam is reduced by the presence of sufficient gold in tissue. The PVDR reduces from 158:1 ±9 to 80:1 ±3 for 7 mg Au/g tissue, and 54:1 ±2 for 18 mg Au/g tissue.
[3] PRESAGE dosimeters have been discovered to be readable via fluorescent microscopy from a 638 nm laser. This florescence has been used to measure the PVDR of BL28B2 at SPring-8 synchrotron to be 52:1, compared to 30:1 using EBT2 film dosimetry under similar conditions.
[4] The ability of in vitro cells to fill a scratch or wound is impaired by the presence of AuNPs, with the gap-filling time increasing with higher AuNP concentrations, for both rat glioma (RG2) and bovine aortic endothelial (BAEC) cells.
[5] For MRT, the dose enhancement factors (DEFs) for tumorous and non-tumorous cells in vitro for 1 mM AuNPs have been calculated and found to be approximately equivalent, with the DEFs for RG2 and BAEC cells being 1.68±0.12 and 1.62±0.13, respectively. With a preferential accumulation of AuNPs in a tumour in vivo, this means that tumorous tissue can receive a larger dose, and thereby recover less from AuNP-enhanced MRT.

Characterising vegetation structure using MODIS multi-angular data
Creators: name: McCamley, Geoff
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions (BRDF) seek to represent variations in surface reflectance resulting from changes in a satellite sensor’s view and solar illumination angles. NASA’s Moderate Resolution Image Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is a wide field of view Earth orbiting sensor that generates observations over a large range of view angles. Based on MODIS observations, a BRDF product and several sub-products have been developed by MODIS science teams, i.e. the MCD43 product suite. With the aim of using BRDF information from the MCD43 product to assist with the characterisation of the vertical structure of vegetation, a simple geometric optical model has been developed within this thesis for interpreting the MCD43 BRDF product in terms of an alternative set of parameters. The model developed within the thesis, and its application to single species cropped fields, a transect between Melbourne – Darwin and a semi-arid area in central Australia. The thesis identified that reflectance variations associated with enlargement of pixels’ ground instantaneous field of view is the principal source of variation in the MODIS BRDF product; rather than directional scatter effects that the product is intended to measure. Variations in pixels’ ground instantaneous field of view is a well known effect associated with wide field of view sensors such as MODIS, but is not explicitly considered in the MODIS BRDF algorithm. The presence of this artefact within the MODIS BRDF product has implications for the validity, use and interpretation of all land surface products based directly or indirectly on MODIS BRDF modelling.

description: Evaluation methods for autonomous driving are crucial for algorithm optimization. However, due to the complexity of driving intelligence, there is currently no comprehensive evaluation method for the level of autonomous driving intelligence. In this paper, we propose an evaluation framework for driving behavior intelligence in complex traffic environments, aiming to fill this gap. We constructed a natural language evaluation dataset of human professional drivers and passengers through naturalistic driving experiments and post-driving behavior evaluation interviews. Based on this dataset, we developed an LLM-powered driving evaluation framework. The effectiveness of this framework was validated through simulated experiments in the CARLA urban traffic simulator and further corroborated by human assessment. Our research provides valuable insights for evaluating and designing more intelligent, human-like autonomous driving agents. The implementation details of the framework and detailed information about the dataset can be found at Github.

Expectations and use of feedback in first year university: improving student and educator outcomes with FRAMEwork
Creators: name: Elgar, Karen
Publisher: name: RMIT University

description: A common student perception of feedback in higher education is that it is often lacking in detail, usability, and timeliness; however, many staff members resent the lack of investment students place in engaging with, or even collecting, feedback on work. Despite increasing recognition of the role of feedback in student learning and course satisfaction, few studies have sought to contrast student and academic perspectives of feedback in a discipline to identify reasons why inconsistencies between student and staff perceptions occur. Similarly, few comprehensive feedback interventions have been devised to improve both staff and student engagement in the feedback process. The research reported in this thesis seeks to address these deficits, beginning with a comprehensive exploration of engagement with feedback at a tertiary level. Two exploratory studies were conducted initially to identify key similarities and differences in the conceptualization, use and preference for feedback observed amongst staff and students in the Discipline of Psychology at RMIT University, following a detailed survey of their feedback practices. Within this Discipline, 202 first year undergraduate students (Study 1) and 25 staff members (Study 2) were surveyed regarding their preferences and engagement with feedback in the tertiary setting. Results indicated that there were several key differences in the way students and staff conceptualize and utilize feedback, suggesting that these differences may account for dissatisfaction with the feedback process. In addition, an emphasis on summative feedback and an embedded perception of feedback as a passive linear process were discovered amongst staff and students. Following these studies, a semester-long intervention intended to improve student and staff engagement and satisfaction with feedback was devised and implemented. The basis for this intervention was the FRAMEwork manual (a comprehensive guide to shaping feedback as an interactive dialogue between staff and students) that was designed based on the observations and recommendations of Study 1 and Study 2. An experimental design was used to evaluate the FRAMEwork manual using 90 first year undergraduates enrolled in Psychology at RMIT University (Study 3). Preliminary analyses of the intervention outcomes were promising, particularly in regard to enhancing feedback utility and student academic performance; however, further modifications and replications are required. In particular, it is recommended that the FRAMEwork program be delivered across the length of a program rather than within a single course.

Possible superconductivity in very thin magnesium films

description: It is known that noble metals such as gold, silver and copper are not supercon- 1 ductors, so as magnesium. This is due to the weakness of the electron-phonon interaction 2 which makes them excellent conductors but not superconductors. As it has recently been 3 shown for gold, silver and copper, even for magnesium it is possible that in very particular 4 situations superconductivity may occur. Quantum confinement in thin films has been 5 consistently shown to induce a significant enhancement of the superconducting critical 6 temperature in several superconductors. It is therefore an important fundamental question 7 whether ultra-thin film confinement may induce observable superconductivity in non- 8 superconducting metals such as magnesium. We study this problem using a generalization, 9 in the Eliashberg framework, of a BCS theory of superconductivity in good metals under 10 thin-film confinement. By numerically solving these new Eliashberg-type equations, we 11 find the dependence of the superconducting critical temperature on the film thickness, L. 12 This parameter-free theory predicts superconductivity in very thin magnesium films. We 13 demonstrate that this is a fine-tuning problem where the thickness must assume a very 14 precise value, close to half a nanometer.

FPGA implementation of short word-length algorithms
Creators: name: Thakkar, Darshan
Publisher: name: RMIT University

description: Short Word-Length refers to single-bit, two-bit or ternary processing systems. SWL systems use Sigma-Delta Modulation (SDM) technique to express an analogue or multi-bit input signal in terms of a high frequency single-bit stream. In Sigma-Delta Modulation, the input signal is coarsely quantized into a single-bit representation by sampling it at a much higher rate than twice the maximum input frequency viz. the Nyquist rate. This single-bit representation is almost exclusively filtered to remove conversion quantization noise and sample decimated to the Nyquist frequency in preparation for traditional signal processing. SWL algorithms have a huge potential in a variety of applications as they offer many advantages as compared to multi-bit approaches. Features of SWL include efficient hardware implementation, increased flexibility and massive cost savings.

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are SRAM/FLASH based integrated circuits that can be programmed and re-programmed by the end user. FPGAs are made up of arrays of logic gates, routing channels and I/O blocks. State-of-the-art FPGAs include features such as Advanced Clock Management, Dedicated Multipliers, DSP Slices, High Speed I/O and Embedded Microprocessors. A System-on-Programmable-Chip (SoPC) design approach uses some or all the aforementioned resources to create a complete processing system on the device itself, ensuring maximum silicon area utilization and higher speed by eliminating inter-chip communication overheads.

This dissertation focuses on the application of SWL processing systems in audio Class-D Amplifiers and aims to prove the claims of efficient hardware implementation and higher speeds of operation. The analog Class-D Amplifier is analyzed and an SWL equivalent of the system is derived by replacing the analogue components with DSP functions wherever possible. The SWL Class-D Amplifier is implemented on an FPGA, the standard emulation platform, using VHSIC Hardware Description Languages (VHDL). The approach is taken a step forward by adding re-configurability and media selectivity and proposing SDM adaptivity to improve performance.
