The emergent holographic scene : compositions of movement and affect using multiplexed holographic images
Creators: name: Mrongovius, Martina
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: A conventional hologram records the view into a single space and can reconstruct this virtual window so that a viewer can peer-around the optically recorded scene. The multiplex process divides the virtual perspective window of the hologram, so that a viewer moving around the hologram perceives a composition of views, establishing a holographic scene. This research explores the potential of movement and affect in the composition of multiplex holographic images.

Techniques were developed for anchoring multiple perspectives into holographic structures by connecting points of visual attention and lines of movement, through successive experiments in the design and production of holograms. This led to explorations of the role of bodily movement and multiple perspectives in the conceptualisation of place. Techniques developed included coupling the viewer’s movement to the action or movement involved in recording the holographic image, often through the visual suggestion of an embodied protagonist and their camera. These compositions heightened an awareness of the perceiving body – both in the process of capturing images for a holographic scene and during the viewer's exploration of this scene.

The research led to an experimental practice where the composition of holographic images and their installation in physical spaces highlighted and affected the disjunctions and fusions between different systems of perception in the embodied act of looking. These projects contribute to the field of holography by developing ways of designing holographic compositions with spatial dynamics and virtual movements, and connecting these holographic scenes to a physical, embodied context. As such the research explores how embodied awareness as well as relational structures of multiple visual perspectives can shape an extended sense of movement and space.

Evaluation of PPP procurement structures - benchmarking delivery of a large public infrastructure project
Creators: name: Gillard, Jason
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: A recent shift in Australian government policy has led to the establishment of a new statutory council - Infrastructure Australia (IA). IA will advise infrastructure stakeholders on a range of issues including creating a more consistent approach to Public Private Partnerships (PPP). This research presents a case study of a landmark PPP project in the Northern Territory, Australia to evaluate Australian PPP practices with world’s best practice. This analysis yields results in the form of recommendations to improve the efficiency of the delivery of PPPs for major public infrastructure.

A PPP benchmarking modelling criteria was developed from the literature review on PPPs and PPP projects which addressed the following areas:
- Project procurement process and structure
- Roles of stakeholders contributing to those projects
- Contractual relationships and arrangements
- Design and construction risk
- Public interest and perception
- Maturity of the marketplace
- Examination of PPP deals within Australia
Qualitative and quantitative data was gathered through private consortium participant observations of the Darwin City Waterfront (DCW) project throughout the entire procurement process spanning nearly three years and was presented as a case study representing Australian PPP practise.

Evaluation of benchmarking modelling criteria against the case study to formulate recommendations to structure and enhance the approach for utilisation of PPPs in the Australian context form the research results. The discussed findings uncovered that underneath the complex structure of PPPs traditional design & construct contracts underpin the agreements among construction partners. These contractual arrangements are imposed by private financiers whose involvement diminishes at the commencement of construction.

This research achieved its objectives of
- Identify key attributes and variables that influences the design of a PPP Project
- Identify key actions and events that influence the outcomes generated by a PPP project
- Model design attributes and variables, and actions and outcomes found in PPP literature
- Evaluate Australian practice as demonstrated in a case study, using the benchmark model
- Discuss findings and present conclusions

Whilst PPP’s develop long term relationships the strength of this relationship comes into question. Incorporation of alliance partnering approaches to alleviate “adversarial contractual relationships” and moves to service provider led consortiums rather than finance-led, provide enhanced value-for-money and public perception outcomes. Incorporating the presented matrix of recommendations including adoption of standardised processes in structuring PPPs affords greater public acceptance and use across a broader range of public sectors.
An historical based adaptation mechanism for BDI agents
Creators: name: Phung, Toan
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: One of the limitations of the BDI (Belief-Desire-Intention) model is the lack of any explicit mechanisms within the architecture to be able to learn. In particular, BDI agents do not possess the ability to adapt based on past experience. This is important in dynamic environments as they can change, causing previously successful methods for achieving goals to become inefficient or ineffective. We present a model in which learning, analogous reasoning, data pruning and learner accuracy evaluation can be utilised by a BDI agent and verify this model experimentally using Inductive and Statistical learning. Intelligent Agents are a new way of developing software applications. They are an amalgam of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Software Engineering concepts that are highly suited to domains that are inherently complex and dynamic. Agents are software entities that are autonomous, reactive, proactive, situated and social. They are autonomous in that they are able to make decisions on their own volition. They are situated in some environment and are reactive to this environment yet are also capable of proactive behaviour where they actively pursue goals. They are capable of social behaviour where communication can occur between agents. BDI (Belief Desire Intention) agents are one popular type of agent that support complex behaviour in dynamic environments. Agent adaptation can be viewed as the process of changing the way in which an agent achieves its goals. We distinguish between 'reactive' or short-term adaptation, 'long-term' or historical adaptation and 'very long term' or evolutionary adaptation. Short-term adaptation, an ability that current BDI agents already possess, involves reacting to changes in the environment and choosing alternative plans of action which may involve choosing new plans if the current plan fails. 'Long-term' or historical adaptation entails the use of past cases during the reasoning process which enables agents to avoid repeating past mistakes. 'Evolutionary adaptation' could involve the use of genetic programming or similar techniques to mutate plans to lead to altered behaviour. Our work aims to improve BDI agents by introducing a framework that allows BDI agents to alter their behaviour based on past experience, i.e. to learn.
Beyond the region: the learning region

Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: In a global economy and a world of increasing polarisation and unsustainable development, learning is critical to change. With most of the world's population in cities and the region increasingly the focus of measures to improve prospects, the learning region concept integrates the conflicting, diverse and complex issues of development. This thesis examines learning in networks and further develops the theory of the learning region through a case study in Melbourne, Australia.

It begins with a case study of an industry network which was part of a research project - City Regions, Intelligent Territories, Innovation Competitiveness and Learning (CRITICAL). The CRITICAL research project examined learning processes in five cities and developed theory and tools to support learning regions. In this thesis the study of the industry network became the first step in a case study of the northern metropolitan regional economic development project. The study of the region demonstrated that there existed a strategic regional approach supporting local learning and action developed through projects based on local research and collaboration. The theories of 'communities of practice and 'architectures of learning' (Wenger 1998) provided the conceptual framework for the case study and proved to be a novel way to discern how learning was supported. A key finding in this thesis was how learning in networks was supported and that this led to organisational change, innovation and learning across differ ent sectors and organisations. Data was analysed using a typology of the learning region developed in the CRITICAL project and the region was found to have characteristics of a learning region although without wider connectivity across the city could only be considered a sub region.

The study contributes to the body of work which demonstrates that the university can play a significant role in supporting the learning region and local engagement of key organisations, enterprises and government, and in the understanding of policy and programs to develop learning regions. The findings also contribute to innovation theory particularly with regard to networks and small to medium enterprises in manufacturing. Findings support the development of frameworks for urban regional development with the partnering of different levels of government to create new ways of operating and learning in the emerging mode of local governance partnerships and highlight the need to develop ways of measuring and understanding success or failure which capture the social, economic, cultural and environmental priorities of society.

description: We present direct numerical simulations of the flow around a simplified model of a flapping-wing micro air vehicle in uncontrolled forward flight at low Reynolds number, including the vehicle dynamics. A simple model for the vehicle is employed, including wings, tail and fuselage. Only a symmetric flight condition will be discussed. The wing kinematics are externally imposed and the vehicle moves as a result of the aerodynamic forces and gravity. The simulations are initialized by keeping the vehicle fixed in space in the presence of a free-stream of constant speed, flapping the wings for several periods. The gravity is adjusted using the average lift during this initial transient, after which the vehicle is released. We analyze the initial stages after the release of the vehicle, placing emphasis on how the aerodynamic forces and the flow around the vehicle are modified once the vehicle is released.
title: Das Recht der Altlastensanierung und rechtspolitische Ansätze für dessen Weiterentwicklung

Year: 2009

description: Altlasten als ein Nebenprodukt des Wohlstands und des wirtschaftlichen Fortschritts wurden spätestens anlässlich des Fischer-Deponie-Skandals in der Mitterndorfer Senke in den 80-er Jahren in Österreich gesellschaftlich wahrgenommen und diskutiert. Die Antwort auf die Altlastenproblematik war die Einführung des Altlastensanierungsgesetzes im Jahr 1989 als einer der Paradefälle für Anlassgesetzgebung. Das Altlastensanierungsgesetz hat nach wie vor im Wesentlichen die Finanzierung der Altlastensanierung zum Ziel. Eigenständige Pflichten zur Sanierung sind nicht vorgesehen. In der Praxis haben sich einige Sanierungsverpflichtungen herauskristallisiert, mittels derer die zuständigen Behörden die Sanierung von Altlasten vordergründig vorschreiben und durchführen lassen. Diese Sanierungsverpflichtungen können in prioritäre und sekundäre Sanierungsverpflichtungen unterteilt werden. Nach einer Analyse des Ist-Zustandes lassen sich folgende rechtspolitischen Verbesserungsvorschläge ableiten: (1) Die systematische Erfassung von kontaminierten Flächen, (2) die Schaffung eines neuen Materien- und Verfahrensgesetzes unter Beachtung der folgenden Elemente sowie (3) die Einführung von raumordnungsrechtlichen Steuerungselementen.

FLOW CONTROL

description: New type of DBD plasma actuator for boundary layer control, based on the controllable inhomogenuity of the discharge along the exposed electrode, is developed. The structure of the flow, generated by the isolated groups of microdischarges, was studied in details in quiescent conditions. In the 2D laminar boundary layer the flow structure downstream of the actuator was studied at external flow velocities up to 7.5 m/s for various sweep angle of the electrode. The equivalent model of the actuator, including the force and heat sources, is formulated based on the analysis of the flow created by the actuator in quiescent conditions. The model is verified by simulating the flow downstream of the actuator in 2D boundary layer. As a final step, the applicability of the localized microdischarge group actuator for active transition control on a swept wing was studied. The generation of a crossflow mode by the actuator was demonstrated in numerical simulation for low-velocity experiment conditions.
The relationship between spirituality and sustainable procurement in the Australian higher education sector
Creators: name: Mansi, Mansi
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The thesis has three primary objectives: first, to review the spirituality and sustainable procurement literature and address the gap that exists; second, to investigate the relationship between spirituality and sustainable procurement within the Australian higher education sector; and third, to investigate the demographic profile of this sector and its relationship with spirituality and sustainable procurement.

The workplace spirituality literature is gaining momentum; however, its existence within the Australian higher education sector is unnoticed. Similarly, procurement studies that are predominantly studied within Europe are patchy and are inconsistent within the Australian context (McMurray et al., 2009). To date, procurement studies and non-existent in the Australian higher education sector. The concepts of spirituality and sustainable procurement are still in their infancy, emerging and multidisciplinary; and the business and management literature contains no investigation of their relationship. Consequently, this provides an original contribution to the existing literature.

An empirical study of 224 procurement professionals working within the Australian higher education sector confirms the relationship between spirituality and sustainable procurement. For example, dimension one of spirituality – Larger Context – is correlated with sustainable procurement dimensions such as Environment (r=0.342, p=0.000), Human Rights (r=0.243, p=0.000) and Philanthropy (r=0.200, p=0.003). Additionally, the emergent data confirms that there is a negative relationship between spirituality and sustainable procurement at the dimension level.

This quantitative thesis has a response rate of 44.50% and stands on a pre-test, a pilot study and the main study. The survey uses two highly recognised and reputed scales: the Human Spirituality Scale (Wheat, 1991) which measures spirituality; and the Purchasing Social Responsibility Scale (Carter & Jennings, 2004) which quantifies the procurement behaviour of the population frame, comprising procurement executives, procurement directors, senior procurement managers and procurement assistants. The thesis uses Pearson correlation, t-test, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) to investigate the research questions and is guided by the conceptual framework of Spillover Thoery.

By addressing the relationship between spirituality and sustainable procurement in the Australian higher education sector, this thesis is one of the first empirical studies undertaken to investigate the relatively new and under-researched phenomenon of spirituality and its relationship with sustainable procurement. Thus, the thesis builds a platform for future research. The findings of the thesis have significant implications for modern organisations. Spirituality can be considered as a tool, which facilitates the sustainable and ethical behaviour within the workplace (Gupta et al., 2012).
Repetitive predictive control and its application to PMSMs
Creators: name: Chai, Shan
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Repetitive Control is a learning control algorithm used to solve the problems of tracking the references and/or rejecting the disturbances that have repetitive nature. One of the challenging problems in repetitive control is to maintain the performance of the controller when the manipulated and/or state variables are hitting the constraints. Meanwhile, it is well known that Model Predictive Control (MPC) has its reputation in dealing with the constrained control problem through the use of optimization algorithms. This thesis incorporates the concept of repetitive control into the design of an MPC controller, resulting a new controller termed Repetitive-Predictive Control (RPC), so that the benefits of both controllers are combined, such as repetitiveness, constraints and multi-variable control. The design of the RPC controller is achieved by incorporating the dominant frequency components identified by the frequency decomposition of the reference signal into the receding horizon control of MPC. To further investigate the strength and weakness of the RPC, the design, tuning and performance of the RPC controller is thoroughly explored by its application to the control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) that have been broadly adopted for industrial control application due to their low volume and high efficiency.

The decision to use PMSMs as the application of RPC is reflected by the increasing trend to apply the Repetitive Control (RC) and Model Predictive Controller (MPC) for the electric drives in recent years. The design of RPC for the position, speed and current regulation of a PMSM has been investigated under two different schemes based on the Field Oriented Control (FOC). The first scheme employs the cascade structure with constrained MPC and RPC replacing the PI controllers for the inner-loop current control and outer-loop speed/position control, respectively. The second scheme is to combine both speed and current controllers into one single multi-variable model predictive controller with operating constraints imposed. The experimental comparisons of the two control schemes with cascade PI controllers demonstrate the superior performance of cascade RPC/MPC in terms of the ability of constrained control, disturbance rejection and position tracking. All results in the thesis have been validated by an experimental test-bed with an industrial-sized PMSM.

description: The ability to control the spanwise location of the disturbance source in a boundary layer is required in a number of the transition delay applications. The redistribution of electric potential along the buried electrode allows to control the position of the microdischarges group,the latter operating as a local source of heat and 3D volume force region. The characterization of the actuator is performed in a 2D boundary layer, with a spatial resolution of the system to be as high as 0.5 mm obtained. Control of the low-velocity streak in the boundary layer is performed by an adaptive DBD plasma actuator is demonstrated in a numerical simulation.
Residential house wall thermal performance

Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Rapid urbanisation due to global economic development and population growth necessitate the expansion of cities and towns with new buildings and associated energy requirements. The floor space area and volumetric dimension of modern residential houses are increasing at a constant rate in most developed countries including Australia. Therefore, the energy consumption for ongoing heating and cooling is also increasing. The increasing energy consumption leads to greater greenhouse gas emissions. In household consumption, around 40% of the total energy is used for space heating and cooling. Hence, the reduction of energy use for space heating and cooling is paramount for energy conservation, energy security and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. A substantial amount of energy required for heating and cooling is lost through the house wall systems. Despite the importance of house wall systems for energy efficiency, little research has been undertaken on energy efficient house wall systems made of combined thermal masses and insulation materials that can be used and adapted for variable climate conditions with minimal design changes and cost. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to undertake a thermal performance study of two house wall systems (one conventional and the other a new design) with single and double glazed windows for variable climate conditions in order to develop an optimal energy efficient house wall system with minimal material modification and cost. Additionally, a thermal performance model for the optimal house wall systems is also to be developed for use in variable climate conditions.

COMBUSTION CHAMBERS

description: A rocket combustion chamber with a single coaxial shear injector is tested. The hot firing tests are conducted with gaseous methane and gaseous oxygen at a mass ratio of oxidizer to fuel of 2.647 and at a pressure of 2 MPa. Wall temperatures are measured along the axis of the chamber and the wall heat fluxes are calculated based on inverse heat conduction approach. To better analyze the experimental results, numerical simulations are performed applying the commercial CFD code ANSYS Fluent. The eddy dissipation concept model is adopted to model turbulent combustion. Mesh independency studies have been performed prior to any further analyses. The ultimate target is to compare the heat fluxes obtained from simulation with the experimental data. Hot gas temperature distribution and flow field structures are also investigated for a better understanding of the experimentally determined heat flux profile. The comparison demonstrates that the simulation approach followed is capable to predict wall heat fluxes in a rocket combustor with sufficient accuracy.

description: The inherent safety of hybrid rocket propulsion offers some unique advantages compared to solid and liquid propellant rocket engines. This makes it especially attractive for space tourism, Micro-launcher and hands-on experiments in the education of students. On November 8th , 2016 at 10:30 a.m. the hybrid sounding rocket HEROS 3 was launched from the ESRANGE Space Center to an apogee altitude of 32,300 m (106,000 ft). This set a new altitude record for European student and amateur rocketry and a world altitude record for hybrid rockets built by students. The 7.5 m long rocket is using Nitrous Oxide (N2 O) and a Paraffin-based fuel to produce 10,000 N of thrust. The dry mass of the rocket was only 75 kg thanks to a carbon fibre structure for the most part. The rocket performed the record breaking flight at perfect weather and visibility conditions, reaching a maximum airspeed of 720 m/s and Mach 2.3. The rocket performed a soft landing with two parachutes and can be reused. Flight data and engine performance data are published and analyzed. The flight data shows excellent stability of the rocket. Engine performance data proves very high efficiency and stable combustion as in the ground tests. Engine and flight trajectory simulations show very good agreements with the flight data. Furthermore, the overall project, the rockets design as well as the launch campaign are presented here in detail.

description: In re-entry, spacecrafts require a Thermal Protection System (TPS) to withstand severe heat flux conditions on the surface. The most critical thermal load is located at the stagnation point, becoming the TPS design reference. Nevertheless, the design can be improved at off-stagnation through a new extrapolation methodology that duplicates in high enthalpy facilities the reacting boundary layer found in flight. The present work assesses the effects of the vehicle\'s body curvature on the heat flux by reproducing locally the reacting boundary layer of the Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV) at a specific point of an equivalent flat plate. The methodology application on the flat plate model available at VKI is also investigated.

The bulk, axial and radial characteristics of the flow field are investigated and confirmed the mixing promotion and the fuel regression rate improvement due to the swirling flow. Central axial jet injection has a suppression effect by inducing a unique flow field. By changing the injection mass-flow ratio of the axial and tangential, even at the same total flow rate, the flow characteristics change the thrust and O/F as the effective swirl number changes.

description: Satellite market currently faces several new trends that will significantly change today\'s product portfolio. Besides upcoming mega-constellations and the maturation of electric propulsion several other factors like clean space require a re-definition of propulsion concepts. One aspect of clean space is to use more green / eco-friendly or non-toxic propellants to replace classical toxic hydrazine based systems. The need for nontoxic propellants is increasing not only since classical, hydrazine based propulsion systems are facing legislative regulations but also because non-toxic alternatives can offer significant technical and economical assets. This paper gives an overview on recent trends, requirements and upcoming new technologies with a focus on challenges and economic interests of these green propellants.

description: m3architecture's research into practice, summarised by a series of posters, captures the territory between thinking and building.

The posters are m3architecture projects in their own right. They are conceived using the same themes, interests and techniques inherent in the production, and visible in the outcomes of the built work. The material offers a concurrent understanding of project by theme and theme by project.

The thesis includes a summary of built work, the search for an understanding of practice, and the search and the expression of the individual and collective practice of m3architecture.

description: Shock wave/boundary layer interaction is an influential phenomenon in all hypersonic aircraft. It creates complex flow structure with extreme localized pressure and heat transfer, which can impose design limitations. Understanding this phenomenon and gaining the ability to predict the flow parameters in such interactions is very crucial. In this study, three dimensional shock wave boundary layer interaction in a laminar hypersonic flow past a cylindrical fin, mounted on a flat plate is numerically investigated and the effect of the sweep angle fin is analyzed. Numerical simulation is conducted using a viscous perfect gas model with an MPI code written in the C++ language by the authors. The results are compared with the experiment for validation. Good agreement of the numerical results with the experimental data validates our calculations.

Development of a proxy response instrument to measure the physical activity behaviours of adults with an intellectual disability
Creators: name: Lante, Kerrie
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: It is well understood that substantial health inequality exists for adults with an intellectual disability (AWID). In comparison to the general population AWID experience higher rates of morbidity and mortality associated with sedentary lifestyles, yet little is known about the role physical activity plays in preventing or mediating this outcome for this segment of society. Without appropriate instrumentation, it is not possible to address the inadequacies that currently exist in the area of physical activity and AWID. The primary aim of the series of studies in this thesis was to develop a psychometrically sound proxy-respondent measurement tool that could be used by researchers, epidemiologists and public health personnel to gather information on the physical activity behaviours of AWID. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) is an internationally published tool with good psychometric properties when used as a self-report tool with adults without a disability (AWOID), but no evidence exists as to the validity or reliability of this tool when used by proxy respondents to report on the physical activity behaviour of AWID. Given little is known about the energy expenditure characteristics of AWID, nor the accuracy of tools developed for AWOID when applied to AWID, two secondary aims of this thesis were to measure the energy expended by AWID and AWOID during seven common activities of daily living (ADL) and to assess the accuracy of an objective physical activity measurement tool (Caltrac® accelerometer) for use with AWID. Evidence gathered through the studies in this thesis found that as the energy demand of ADL increased there was an increase in the difference between energy expended by AWID and AWOID. Results indicated that AWID achieved moderate-intensity physical activity when walking at a pace of 3.0 km/hr or more. The proxy-respondent telephone questionnaire (IPAQ-ID) described in this thesis allows for universal assessment of the physical activity behaviours of AWID. The IPAQ-ID was found to have measurement properties equivalent to measurement tools used among AWOID. The IPAQ-ID was found to be suitable for use as a surveillance tool by researchers to collect comparable data on health-enhancing physical activity behaviours of AWID.

Refrain: postmodern confessions
Creators: name: Morgan, Andrew
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The creative component of my project is a contemporary, confessional novel, Refrain. The narrator, Jake, has spent his youth chasing a life that matched his dreams - first as a would-be rock star and then by fleeing to India in search of exotic adventures with his girlfriend. Now he returns alone to the suburban backwater he'd tried so hard to escape, ready for stability and responsibility. However, his attempts to reinvent himself in this world of chronic unemployment and limited horizons are thrown into confusion by old friends, estranged fmaily members, an unresolved attachment, and by his musical successor - a volatile young woman with her own problems, who draws him back to things he'd rather forget and towards a future he isn't ready to face. Refain is a story of idealism and desire, fading hopes and unexpected opportunities, long-distance love and short-sightedness. The ex egetical component of my project investigates the term 'portmodern confession' as an intersection of the confessional narrative mode and postmodernism, and its application to two recent texts: The sportswriter by Richard Ford, and The remains of teh day by Kazuo Ishiguro.
