description: I am Yorta Yorta Dja Dja Wurrung. I am a singer, songwriter, performer and educator and I teach through songs, stories and performance. This research project draws on all these areas of expression and is both creative and educational.

In my research, I investigated the ways that the Yorta Yorta language and other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages can be retrieved, reclaimed and regenerated through songs, stories and performances. I explored the ways I can utilise my life experience and the knowledge of my culture and language to heal myself, and the wider community from the consequences and continual impact of colonisation. Since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples of the world have applied song, story and performance to educate, heal the mind and body, evoke spirit and entertain. I investigated the obstacles and ethical issues related to retrieving and transmitting Aboriginal languages cross-culturally and across different generations. These issues have formed a significant part of my reflections as a researcher, performer and arts practitioner.

In my inquiry I employed two methodologies, the dominant being an Indigenous methodology of Gulpa Ngawar-l (Yorta Yorta for deep looking and listening) as a useful framework for reflecting on the themes I am examining in my research and a secondary methodology of creative practice approach, which complements and supports Gulpa Ngawar-l.

I am interested in the ways Gulpa Ngawar-l can encourage a way of thinking about the process of collecting languages in danger of becoming lost. Gulpa Ngawar-l was used as an approach to conceptualising the work of building on and strengthening Aboriginal languages. My inquiry focused on the following questions:

How do we collect and revitalise languages in ethical and culturally sensitive ways, and in ways that give back to the communities?
How do we make sure we are treating the languages with the utmost cultural respect, allowing the true phonology of our languages to be heard, and not to ‘anglo-size’ them?
The outcomes of my inquiry affirm the need for Indigenous involvement and Indigenous authority in creating language projects where the arts are at the forefront and that language retrieval is now a global phenomenon. We are not alone.

description: Theories of justice are usually divided in aim and sphere of operation between redistributive justice (allocation of goods and resources) and recognition justice (ensuring respect and esteem between members of societies regardless of race, ethnicity, sexuality etc.). Divorcing the two is said to create conceptual clarity, but policy chaos in the treatment of complex injustices. Contrary to the received view, my thesis argues recognition and redistribution can only provide an adequate conceptual framework for questions of justice if they operate together and show this in relation to socially excluded and discriminated against groups, with a particular focus on the case of the Roma minority. The first chapter criticises existing theoretical approaches to the connection between recognition and redistribution, most notably Fraser's ‘different logics’ argument. The following chapters establish that neither recognition nor redistribution are theoretically sufficient for capturing the meaning of injustice in certain cases: Chapter 2 argues recognition faces a ‘symmetry problem’ between just and unjust struggles, requiring appeals to redistribution as a demarcation criterion. Chapter 3 argues redistributive attempts to define disability fail to capture the recognition-based concerns of the social model of disability and extrapolates the argument from the 'special' case of disability to the (unfortunately) common case of ethnic discrimination, focusing on the Roma minority. Chapters 4 and 5 define and defend a view of discrimination as a specific pattern of interaction between recognition and redistribution, similar to Sunstein's anti-caste principle but allowing for relevant markers to be socially (rather than physiologically) defined. Chapter 6 argues social exclusion is also, contrary to most current approaches, a matter of recognition and not only redistribution, showing how the two dimensions interact in the case of the Roma minority. I conclude by pointing out that discrimination and social exclusion, while often regarded as separate social issues, are structurally similar with regards to the underlying dynamic between the redistributive and recognition dimensions.

Instability and landscape
Creators: name: Keane, Bridget
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 330109
subject: Landscape architecture

description: Landscape architecture as a discipline has multiple origins. With lineages from diverse fields of knowledge such as gardening, the sciences, planning, environmental management, landscape painting and architecture. Each of these fields of influence has distinct approaches to looking at (mediating) and acting upon (modifying) the landscape.

Various devices from these fields - instruments, models and mechanisms - are widely used in Landscape Architectural practice to establish the landscape prior to design. Often the devices are applied without modification, assumed to be inert and seen as distinct from the design process.

Given this, to date, little attention has been paid to the agency of the device. This research asks: could we reclaim a critical, creative approach to the devices that construct landscape? Proposing a reorientation of these lenses to allow the construction of landscape as a formative act in the design process. Through the recalibration and modification of a series of devices, this research generates techniques for producing multiple variations of landscape and subsequent design outcomes. Drawing in the influences of other disciplines in ways that are transformative rather than applied.

Three devices begin to unfold a series of design approaches. The microscope recalibrates scale and produces variation. The petri dish acts as a container for growth - constraining and governing formation. The grid discerns, measures, adapts and allows for an integration of formative and material pressures.

The relation between the device and its agency in the landscape revealed the notion of instability. Instability describes the gap between the acts of looking and acting as a productive force making variations between device and matter. Together the laboratories and the associated devices describe a practice that is, by its nature, multiple. Reflecting that the landscape itself is an inherently variable condition and that Landscape Architecture is a discipline with multiple origins.

The research contributes to the discipline of Landscape Architecture by offering critical rethinking of key devices imported from other disciplines. This rethinking occurs through:

Generating multiple lenses for landscape
Identification of three devices for landscape architecture
Reframing the foundation of the devices
Modification of the devices to produce new techniques for landscape
Positing instability as a key to understanding the mediation of landscape through the devices

description: Glässer’s disease is a common bacterial disease among weaning pigs that causes large economic losses to the pig industries worldwide. The etiologic agent of Glässer’s disease is Haemophilus parasuis which is associated with lung infections, fibrinous polyserositis, arthritis and/or septicaemia in swine population resulting in significant levels of mortality and morbidity. Control measures such as antibiotics and autogenous vaccines lack adequate control over this organism Commercial vaccines are largely based on killed antigen and hence lack effectiveness due to the poor cross-reactivity between H. parasuis serovars. It is expected that live vaccines, due to their ability to replicate within the host, will evoke a stronger and more cross-protective immune response compared to humoral immunity induced by killed vaccines.

Development of commercial medium for the live attenuated vaccine is challenging as H. parasuis is a fastidious that is very difficult to grow in culture. The primary aim of the project was to develop and design a liquid based medium suitable for cultivating an attenuated vaccine candidate at industrial scale. In order to produce this vaccine to large scale production, the media components must comply with international regulatory standards. Once high yields of viable strain is produced, the organisms must be adequately preserved for stability during storage and transport of vaccine vials. Therefore the optimisation of a freeze dry based preservation program and preservatives was also examined.

The diagnosis of H. parasuis depends upon the ability to isolate and differentiate this organism from other organisms that may be present in a clinical sample. The fragile nature of H. parasuis makes this bacterium difficult to isolate and diagnose. Differential diagnosis is useful for the purpose of differentiating the vaccine strains from field H. parasuis species, especially post vaccination. This project aims to develop molecular methodology to differentiate and identify the vaccine strain from its own parent strain as well as closely related species for better diagnosis. Multilocus sequence typing based on house-keeping genes is s a highly discriminative genotyping method. It was also explored in this project to generate a specific profile for H. parasuis Australian isolates and to compare directly with global H. parasuis spp.

A wonderland of possible worlds
Creators: name: Garrett, Craig
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This project investigates the world-building rules and narrative strategies available to novelists for creating possible worlds within fiction. It includes a creative component: a novel, Dreamriders, and an exegetical component: ‘A Wonderland of Possible Worlds: How Writers Create Possible Worlds, or Where is Alice, Anyway?’.

Using Alice in Wonderland as a primary case study, and drawing on conflicting arguments by Brian McHale and Umberto Eco I investigate how Lewis Carroll created the possible world of Wonderland. After establishing the foundations upon which Wonderland is built I broaden my scope and investigate how other authors create different types of possible worlds and the ways fictional possible worlds enable writers to analyse, explore and reinterpret the ‘actual’ world. From this analysis I distil the key world-building rules and narrative strategies applicable to my own creative practice in my novel Dreamriders.
I chose Alice In Wonderland as my case study because both Alice In Wonderland and Dreamriders explore the concepts of place, marginalisation and belonging, and redefine or re-centre a possible world (peripheral parts of our ‘actual world’) as the dominant elements of the text.

The use of possible worlds reconfigures the status of the margins by foregrounding them, reinterprets ‘reality’, allows writers to raise significant questions about the world (or worlds) we inhabit without entering into the polemic, and allows us to talk about ‘truths’ asserted in texts without reducing the text to a mere representation of the world we live in. This complicates and, to a degree, strengthens fiction’s ontological structure because impossibilities become important world-building devices. Therefore, fictional possible worlds can describe impossible states of affairs with a set of world-building rules that makes the non-actual possible world ‘true’ in and of itself.

In order to answer the theoretical questions posed in my exegesis I also address two ‘problems’ within my own creative practice: (1) how do I write a novel that explores specific ideas, is engaging, seems ‘logical’ to the reader, but is completely unreal and illogical at the same time; (2) how do I ‘realistically’ let the impossible take place in Dreamriders?
While my exegesis and novel are separate, both relate directly to the key research question: What are the world-building rules and narrative strategies available for creating possible worlds?

Subjects: L-ART/03 Storia dell'arte contemporanea

description: In Germania, mentre si consumava l’esperienza della Repubblica di Weimar (1919-1933), si avviò un vasto – quanto inconscio – progetto di catalogazione sociale, al fine di familiarizzare con i tipi umani nati al chiudersi del primo conflitto mondiale. Tra questi vi è quello della Neue Frau (Nuova Donna), una delle prime rappresentazioni della donna contemporanea nel mondo occidentale. Come per le altre tipologie sociali, la sua figura venne costruita a partire dagli stereotipi, diffusi dapprima dai media e dall’editoria, quindi dall’arte stessa. Nel presente studio si indaga l’approccio a questa nuova immagine femminile con l’obiettivo di far emergere la diversa reazione che ebbero attori e attrici dell’arte dell’epoca nei suoi riguardi. Dall’analisi della rappresentazione delle diverse declinazioni della Neue Frau come la prostituta, la Garçonne e la donna omosessuale emerge con chiarezza una netta distinzione nella metodologia di pensiero di artisti e artiste che se ne occuparono: le artiste, infatti, sfruttarono a loro vantaggio il repertorio di stereotipi per restituire, in un sentimento profondamente femminista, tutta la portata rivoluzionaria e fattuale dell’immagine e della vita della donna tedesca degli anni Venti.

The image of women in the revolutionary opera films of the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976)

description: This is an interdisciplinary project that investigates the influence of the Cultural Revolution on the image of women in revolutionary opera films. Because the Cultural Revolution is in a socialist context, relations between gender and power in socialist discourse are different to power relations in feudal or capitalist gender discourse. Previous sociopolitical, anthropological, communication and media studies have focused on Chinese women in the Cultural Revolution. However, there is limited research through a feminist lens to explore how patriarchal power worked in a socialist gender discourse directly formed by Maoist ideology, and ultimately constructed the masculinised representation of women in the Cultural Revolution. Therefore, this is also a cultural and feminist study that aims to explore the influence of Maoist gender politics on women’s identity during the Cultural Revolution.

The revolutionary opera films were chosen as an appropriate study to investigate what were the dominant representations of women, and discover how masculinist power worked on the representations of women in the period of the Cultural Revolution. Examining the image of women in films contributes to knowledge about Maoist gender discourse and ideology during the Cultural Revolution.

The key methodology employed for analysing and theorising gender and power in this thesis is feminist critical discourse analysis within the framework of constructionist feminism. By using a feminist theoretical framework, this study reveals hierarchal relations between masculinity and femininity, and undertakes a feminist critique of masculinist power and women’s gender identity in the revolutionary opera films. The main argument of this study stresses that Maoist gender politics in the revolutionary opera films is a masculinist politics that produced another form of patriarchy to maintain male dominance. Women were not liberated in the Cultural Revolution but rather identified as a masculine gender and oppressed by masculinist power in the gender discourse of the revolutionary opera films.

The key contribution of this study is to fill a knowledge gap in the field where, as a feminist project, I use feminist methodology and epistemology to identify women’s identity, and explore sociological connections between the masculinisation of women and patriarchal (masculinist) power in the context of the Cultural Revolution. A dynamic power relation between femininity and masculinity from traditional China to the Cultural Revolution has also been mapped and elaborated.
Observations of Australian Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN)
Creators: name: Fedele, Rosemary
Publisher: name: RMIT University

description: Exploratory climate modeling suggests that aerosol effects are of comparable importance as greenhouse gases, as a driver of recent climate trends in the southern hemisphere, including Australia (Rotstayn et al. 2007; Rotstayn et al. 2010). A 2008 CSIRO review considered the possible climatic effects of natural and anthropogenic aerosol located in the Australian region (Rotstayn et al. 2008). Observations and modelling suggest that various regional aerosol sources may be important, but systematic studies of their role in climate change and climate variability are currently lacking.

In addition, the aerosol indirect effects (or the effects aerosols have on cloud formation) are currently the largest uncertainty in the IPCC report estimate of anthropogenic induced climate change (IPCC 2013). A better understanding of aerosol effects is essential in order to reconcile modelled and observed climate variability and climate change.

To this aim, intensive ground-based measurements of ambient aerosols including Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN) were made at three locations across Australia: a tropical site located at Gunn Point in the Northern Territory, an urban site located in a suburb approximately 22 km to the west of Sydney in New South Wales and a marine site located at the Cape Grim Baseline Monitoring Station located on the northwest tip of Tasmania.

To summarise the findings of this study, in the tropics biomass burning emissions dominated the aerosol sources in the region and these aerosol were found to be CCN active. The Sydney air shed contained a largely hydrophobic aerosol population sourced from local urban emissions and low numbers of CCN active aerosol. The low numbers of CCN were associated with atmospherically aged aerosol such as sulfate aerosol, Secondary Organic Aerosol (SOA) and biomass burning aerosol. In Cape Grim, a significant proportion of marine aerosol was found to be CCN active, however source(s) of marine CCN remain unresolved after this study.

The influence of important aerosol sources and processes observed such as biomass burning, urban vehicle emissions, secondary formation and the complexity of marine sources on CCN formation and regulation to the Australian continent will be discussed in this thesis.

description: Australian contains one of the hottest granite on earth at reasonable drilling depth and Hot Dry Rock (HDR) geothermal energy is considered as a practical prospect in the future. This thesis aims to study the mechanical behaviours geothermal reservoir rock at the deeply buried earth. Temperature, pressure and fluid flow forms a complex mechanism that can be extremely differs from the surface rocks. A large amount of experimental works have carried out and the results will contribute information for the development of guidelines for engineering design at depth, including the rock physical property (mineralogy, grain size and porosity) dependence, temperature dependence and pressure dependence. Besides, a new multiphase high pressure and temperature controlled triaxial testing apparatus for geomaterials is designed and constructed in purpose of simulating the actual underground condition. This apparatus allows confining pressure up to 130 MPa, temperature up to 400 °C and fluid injection of 160 MPa, with axial loading capacity of 100 tonnes. Numerical study was generated using the finite element method and ABAQUS software. Acoustic emission (AE) technology was used to study the stress thresholds of rock failure process; nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to observe the micro-structure and chemical composition changes of rock subjected to high temperatures. This research has developed an empirical and numerical understanding of the mechanical behaviour expected of rock in deep engineering scenarios, especially for enhanced geothermal energy.

description: In spite of the energy crisis, a large amount of low-grade heat (below 100 oC) is being wasted for the lack of cost-effective technology.  Recovery or utilization of low-grade heat is drawing the attention of the researcher what is still a big challenge. Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is the widely used conventional system for heat-to-power generation where phase change of working fluid occurs during the addition of heat that decreases the efficiency of the system. Therefore, in this project, an analytical as well as an experimental study have been performed for power generation using Trilateral Flash Cycle (TFC) based heat engines which has been considered more effective for low-grade heat to power generation than Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) based system. The focus of the study was to develop a power generation system in a cost-effective manner. The considered TFC based heat engine consists of a Converging-diverging (CD) nozzle and impulse turbine setup as an expander and developed a simulation model with experimental validation. For this study, an experimental setup was developed in consist of a CD nozzle, a Pelton type impulse turbine coupled with a generator, a plate type heat exchange and a shell and tube type condenser and a pump. The experiment was performed under three different temperatures (64, 67 and 72 oC) and Iso-pentane was considered as the working fluid with a flowrate of 2.4 to 4.6 l/min. The experimental results showed only 2% deviation from the analytically predicted performance at 64 oC operating temperature and concluded that having only 50% isentropic efficiency, the TFC system can produce 1.5 to 2 times more power than ORC system from same heat sources. Moreover, for only 25% higher cost of installation than ORC, the TFC system has a simple payback time of less than 5 years where 10 years of payback time is considered economical for such type of system with more than 20 years of running life.

description: A range of RESTful APIs have been developed by the EGA in order to allow powerful users, consortia and research institutions to programmatically interconnect with our system. Whilst the majority of the users perform discrete and limited queries/submissions to the system, the majority of the queries/submissions are performed by a limited and advanced set of users. Taking these handful of teams as reference, we are herein describing the different approaches EGA APIs can be used for a better, faster and complete experience.

As described in the previous deliverable (9.2), the following programmatic endpoints are available and documented for all EGA users: submission API, public metadata API and private metadata API. The main difference between the later two is the requirement of authentication for complete discovery of user-related metadata.

EGA Submission API can be either directly used (https://ega-archive.org/submission/programmatic_submissions/submitting-metadata ) or by using a tool or interface mounted in the top of it. EGA developed its own interface (Submitter Portal - https://ega-archive.org/submission/tools/submitter-portal ) but it is great to see how other important partners are directly leveraging the API for their own solutions. We are focussing our attention on the ICGCsub, software provided by the ICGC consortia for all their projects worldwide for an harmonised and smooth submission to the EGA: https://github.com/icgc-dcc/egasub Metadata can also be retrieved programmatically and in a custom manner from the EGA: https://ega-archive.org/metadata/how-to-use-the-api . This flexible possibility of obtaining and filtering the results allows (1) the generation of reports by the user, who do not need to keep internal track of their submissions (and hence avoid duplications/mismatches), and (2) discovering crucial data information, a good filter before applying and downloading controlled access data. The first functionality can be either extended to the private metadata objects (i.e. in draft status) upon authentication (https://ega-archive.org/submission/programmatic_submissions/how-to-use-the-api ). Worldwide known research institutions with a consistent system of data/metadata submissions (Broad Institute, DKFZ) are consistently considering such feature as a main information gatherer for their submissions.

description: Das Factoring bietet sich als Alternative zu den gängigen Bankkrediten für die Absatzfinanzierung an. Auf das Factoring wird immer häufiger zurückgegriffen, dies ist grundsätzlich auf die Bedürfnisse der Lieferanten zurückzuführen, die sich mehr Individualität bei der Finanzierungsform wünschen. Diese Absatzfinanzierungsform richtet sich primär an KMU, die auf eine sofortige Umsetzung von Forderungen in Liquidität angewiesen sind. Somit gewährleistet das Factoring vielen Unternehmen eine finanzielle Sicherheit, die ein sukzessives Unternehmenswachstum ermöglicht. Infolgedessen nehmen Lieferanten speziell in wirtschaftlich schwierigen Zeiten das Factoring in Anspruch. Inwiefern die Unternehmen vom Factoring profitieren, soll diese Hausarbeit anhand einer Fallstudie näherbringen.
User expectations of a national, high-accuracy GNSS positioning service for professional applications: an Australian context

description: Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are hidden utilities that are critical to the functioning of modern society. GNSS delivers positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services that benefit a wide range of users in the scientific, public and industrial sectors. The Positioning Australia programme aims to provide the infrastructure and capability required to deliver open, high-accuracy positioning services across Australia. Therefore, it is essential to study the requirements of users who will benefit from these services. In this context, this research aims to review the positioning needs of users in professional applications within Australia, in particular, civil construction, precision agriculture and rail transport.

The upcoming modernisation of GNSS and increasing demands of mass-market users will blur the lines between standalone, augmented, open and commercial PNT services. This research examines the current and future state of GNSS positioning techniques, infrastructure, and services. Government initiatives, such as the Australian Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS), will deliver open-access precise point positioning (PPP) and will coexist with a growing market of commercial service providers. The marketplace of GNSS services will need to adapt to this modernisation while still complying with the demanding PNT requirements of professional users.

This study presents a literature review of PNT requirements across industries. It proposes a requirements framework for three professional sectors that are being transformed by automation, connectivity and high-accuracy positioning. The PNT requirements of construction, agriculture and rail applications are reviewed and further validated by field trials. Some of the most demanding applications in construction and agriculture require positioning accuracies that can only be achieved by real-time kinematic (RTK) and complementary positioning technologies, such as inertial navigation system (INS) or optical tracking.

The research findings highlight that integrity, connectivity and latency are essential requirements for applications such as real-time tracking, robotic and safety-related applications. The rail industry, in particular, has demonstrated that GNSS can be applied to safety-related applications. However, further policy and regulatory work is required to implement its use across the sector. This research presents its findings and recommendations with the aim to inform the Positioning Australia programme.
Drawing a line through place: dislocating place through locative sound composition

Subjects: classificationCode: 360503
subject: Digital and electronic media art

description: This practice-based PhD is made up of two components: the creative project a locative sound composition (A Placing Scope) and an accompanying dissertation. The locative sound composition is delivered as an audio walk, whereby people equipped with wireless headphones are led by a guide around a series of laneways in Melbourne's CBD. The dissertation serves to contextualise the creative project by charting the conceptual and practical basis for the inquiry.

The research is concerned with the implications of dealing with the concept of place as an embodied process, one manifest in our movement through and connection with the world. It explores how this idea is realised within an artistic practice drawing upon sound, listening and locative art practice. As such, it maps an expansive and relatively uncharted field of inquiry; one that invites a bold, experimental sensibility.

In a bid to account for embodied ways of understanding place and their relationship to sound and listening, the research draws from the fields of non-representational theory, locative art practice and soundscape practice. This provides a framework to hold an otherwise unruly tangle of impulses, impressions, reactions, concepts, intuitions, feelings and perceptions relating to sound composition in a locative context.

The work can be described as drawing a line through place, which indicates the intent of the work to provide a scoring out or negation of the idea of place as just an object. It offers the charting of a route through the intangible qualities of the idea of place as a tracing of our relations to the world. It looks to (dis)locate expectations around the so-called 'everyday', and with it an ontology that insists upon place as extant in the world.

The new knowledge produced by this research, in the forms both of the dissertation and the locative sound composition that it contextualises, also represents a move toward addressing the visual predilection of much locative art practice. The research aims to offer an evocative, affective means to engage and extend a locative sound arts practice through drawing on an understanding of place as an affective, sensate and performative quality.

subject: Database systems

description: As the internet is developing, web data is growing rapidly. Paper documents are digitalized, as are people's everyday activities. Personalization systems take advantage of the opportunities provided by users' online activities.

While most existing research literature focuses  on the effectiveness of personalised ranking, this thesis studies the efficiency of  personalized ranking.
Specifically, the following problems were studied:
(i) online adjustment over personalized ranking;
(ii) online personalized ranking for subscription query;
(iii) online personalized summarization of ranking results.

Users on the web are not always familiar with the ranking system itself; it usually takes a long period of time for users to understand it and for the ranking system to understand its users. Users must provide ample amounts of data before systems can learn the users¿ preferences, and the system needs sufficient time to respond to the data. In this thesis, the problem of online personalised preference adjustment is addressed, with the aim of helping users provide feedback easily and interact with the system in real-time.

As access to a wider variety of social media messages increases, users on social network platforms have started to search out ideas and opinions by themselves. Subscription queries are utilised by those who want to read and consume web data actively. In this thesis, problems relating to online personalised ranking for subscription queries are studied.

The high publication rate and large volume of short-text posts (microblogs) bring redundancy and noise, making it difficult for users and analysts to decipher useful information. Existing studies do not consider the valuable information that comes from user interactions. This thesis studies the online summarization over ranking results and how it takes advantage of user interaction during the summarization process.
