title: Die neue Arbeitssituation durch den Einsatz des Modells der frühen sprachlichen Förderung
Creators: name: Lenk, Isabella
Year: 2010

description: In der Arbeit wird die Arbeitssituation in Kindergarten und Volksschule unter dem Einsatz des „Wiener Modells der frühen Förderung 1+1“ untersucht. Den Hauptgehalt der Arbeit bildet eine qualitative Studie, wobei mittels Leitfadeninterviews jeweils sechs Klein-kindpädagoginnen und Vorschullehrerinnen zu ihrer momentanen Situation der sprachli-chen Förderung befragt wurden. Die Interviews gaben Einblick in die allgemeine Einschätzung der Wichtigkeit der Sprache, den Übergang von Kindergarten zu Volksschule, die Kooperation der beiden Institutionen, die Umsetzung der Sprachstandserhebung in Kindergarten, sowie die Durchführung der Sprach¬förderung im Kindergarten und Vorschule. Zusammenfassend wurden aus den Aussagen der beiden Professionen Hypothesen generiert. Es zeigt sich, dass der Einsatz des Modells grundsätzlich begrüßt wird, aber Ver¬änderungen und Verbesserungen wünschenswert sind. Auffallend ist, dass die Volks¬schul¬lehrerinnen in keinster Weise Informationen zur neuen Situation der Sprach¬förderung sei-tens der Schule erhielten.
description: The paper describes the work situation in the kindergarten and in elementary schools after the use of the “Wiener Modell der frühen Förderung 1+1” (“Viennese model of early ad-vancement 1+1”). The main body of the paper comprises a qualitative study in which six kindergarten teachers and six elementary school teachers were interviewed about the cur-rent situation of language coaching. The interviews gave insight into the general assessment of the importance of language, the transition from kindergarten to elementary school, the cooperation of both institutions, the realisation of language assessment in kindergarten, and the implementation of lan-guage coaching in kindergarten and elementary school. In conclusion hypotheses were deduced from the statements of both professional groups.

An environmentally sensitive equilibrium morphology phase map of zinc sulphide nanoparticles
Creators: name: Feigl, Christopher
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Zinc sulphide (ZnS) nanoparticles have promising applications in a diverse range of fields, including bio-technology; optoelectronics; catalysis; photovoltaics; gas, chemical and bio-sensors; field effect transistors; and field emitters. Like most modern nanomaterials, ZnS nanoparticles derive their utility from physical properties which can be ‘customised’ or ‘tuned’ for specific needs; however, there are considerable risks associated with the use of nanoscale ZnS, which exist as a direct consequence of the structure/property relationships from which their utility is derived. These risks include instability, adverse physical properties and elevated toxicity. In order to minimize exposure to these risks, ab inito calculations and a shape-dependent thermodynamic model were used to predict the equilibrium morphologies and phase transformations between the cubic, hexagonal and amorphous phases of ZnS as a function of size, temperature and pressure.

 The likelihood of a phase transformation occurring was fond to vary significantly, depending heavily on both size and shape. Further to this, thermodynamic conditions were identified which are expected to favour the formation of specific morphologies and encourage long-term stability in a broader environmental sense. These results show how tailoring the shape of a nanoparticle may ultimately determine its phase by encouraging or suppressing phase transformations, and provide insight into how experimental synthesis conditions can be modified to obtain synthesis objectives and maintain post-synthesis phase and morphological stability; outcomes which are critical for safe, stable and effective applications of this material.

description: This work compares the principle of a basic fin-controlled sounding rocket with coupled computational fluid dynamic and rigid body dynamic simulations of two coupling environments: a low-fidelity approach using Missile DATCOM as semi-empirical aerodynamic solver, and a high-fidelity approach using DLR TAU as URANS CFD code. The flight mechanics solver REENT is used in both cases. A closed-loop flight path control is developed and adjusted via low-fi simulations and then verified via highfi simulations. For simple roll and pitching maneuvers the environments match good, whereas differences can be expected in complex maneuvers, e.g. body-body interactions or separation procedures.

title: Theorien der Migrationsforschung
Creators: name: Karavdic, Jasmina
Year: 2009

description: Die dargestellten Theorien der Migrationsforschung geben einen Überblick über die unterschiedliche Betrachtungsweise von MigrantInnen und ihrem Umfeld. Hauptaugenmerk sind dabei die Auswirkungen von Migration in ökonomischer als auch sozialer Hinsicht und der Umstand in dem sich Zuwanderer befinden, wenn sie sich tatsächlich für eine Auswanderung entscheiden. Diese hat nämlich nicht nur Auswirkungen auf eine Person selbst, sondern auf die gesamte Volkswirtschaft und Bevölkerungsstruktur. Migration bringt einer Gesellschaft viele Vorteile und erhöht den Gesamtwohlstand, welcher ohne Zuwanderer nicht zu realisieren wäre. Was dies aber für MigrantInnen bedeutet bleibt oft unerfragt. Viele Zuwanderer müssen mit niedrigeren Löhnen leben, da sie als billige Arbeitskräfte bekannt sind. Sie werden von vielen Unternehmen genau aus diesem Grund ausgebeutet. In einer Gesellschaft bildet sich daher ein zweigeteilter Arbeitsmarkt, da MigrantInnen zunehmend in dem niedrigen Arbeitsmarktsegment anzutreffen sind und Einheimische im höheren. Dies scheint in gewisser Weise ein Ausgleich für Arbeitnehmer zu sein, jedoch ist zu beachten, dass mit der Zeit und mit längerem Aufenthalt auch Zuwanderer darin bemüht sind ihre Lebenssituation zu verbessern und versuchen werden sich im besseren Arbeitssegment zu etablieren. Dies kann wiederum weitere Auswirkungen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt und in der Volkswirtschaft hervorrufen, welche in dieser Arbeit jedoch nicht genauer beschrieben wurden. Vielmehr wurde auf die Wirkungsweisen und Ursachen von Migration, sowie die Einflüsse von internationaler Faktorbewegung und internationalem Handel Wert gelegt. Weiters wurde der enge Zusammenhang zwischen Globalisierung und internationaler Migration beschrieben. Durch den intensiven Globalisierungsprozess nimmt internationale Wanderung zu, aber auch verschiedene Formen an. Diese werden immer vielfältiger und somit bilden sich neue gesellschaftliche Strukturen mit vielseitigen kulturellen Hintergründen.
Broadband nested antenna
Creators: name: Fu, Wei
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis investigates a novel dual frequency range low profile antenna system containing two nested spiral antennas operating over 2 – 18 GHz and 30 – 40 GHz respectively. The exploration and development of a broadband microstrip spiral without cavity backing has been implemented in the range of 2 - 18 GHz. The relationship between the structural parameters of equiangular spirals and their performance is investigated by simulating a variety of spiral structures. The input impedance, gain, axial ratio and radiation patterns of spiral antennas on a grounded dielectric substrate are compared with that of a spiral in free space to demonstrate the shortcomings of such a structure (i.e. narrow impedance bandwidth and poor gain).

An effective way to achieve a broad bandwidth is proposed by introducing an impedance profile to remove the residual current along the spiral arms. Initially a Thin Film Resistive Layer (TFRL) was incorporated into a microstrip equiangular spiral antenna to absorb the residual current along the arms. Four spiral antennas with TFRLs of different thickness were developed to explore the TFRL application technique. Measured results and the difficulties in both simulation and fabrication experienced are demonstrated, analysed and addressed.

An alternative to the use of a TFRL as an impedance profile on microstrip spirals, an exploration of spirals with embedded chip resistors had been conducted. The radiation physics of microstrip equiangular spirals are examined in the time domain using the XFDTD simulation package. XFDTD is used to analyse the current density distribution on the spiral arms under the excitation of pulse and harmonic waves. An analysis of the current density distribution at steady state provides guidelines for arranging the chip resistors efficiently. Chip resistor loading rules have been developed from these outcomes. A two dual arm equiangular spiral antennas with embedded chip resistors has been simulated, fabricated and measured. The antenna has a compact tapered balun which is horizontally placed inside the spiral antenna substrate to reduce the volume of the completed spiral/feed structure.
The spiral with embedded chip resistors and a compact balun is selected as the low frequency element (2 – 18 GHz) for a nested antenna system. A dual arm Archimedean spiral antenna with cavity backing (operating over 30 – 40 GHz) is developed to be nested within the aperture of the low frequency spiral. The high frequency antenna was integrated into the substrate of the low frequency element, in the opening between the spiral arms. An Electronic Band Gap (EBG) architecture was applied to the rim of the nested antenna substrate to mitigate the consequences of surface waves. The entire nested antenna system was fabricated and measured, and the results are presented and discussed.

description: In the future, novel aircraft configurations will be needed in order to cut noxious emissions and noise and to face the increase of traffic all over the world. This paper presents procedures and tools adopted for the preliminary design of an innovative civil transport aircraft conceived according to the Prandtl\'s Best Wing System concept and known also as \"PrandtlPlane\". The lifting system is optimized by means of an in house code in the subsonic range, followed by two calibration steps to take the transonic effects into account; it results a trade-off between subsonic and transonic regimes, up to the final optimization at transonic cruise speed and the design of control surfaces in approach conditions. The reference aircraft examined in this paper is a PrandtlPlane with a span limited to 36m, the same of Airbus A320 and Boeing 737, in order to be categorized according to ICAO Aerodrome Reference Code C standard; instead, the capacity of this aircraft is increased to about 320 passengers, typical of upper category aircraft, with the design of a two aisles cabin. Some details are given about the design criteria of the fuselage and a brief description is given about the lifting system design procedure at transonic cruise speed and the aerodynamic controls at low speed.

Characterization of allergenic and antimicrobial properties of Chitin and Chitosan and formulation of Chitosan-based edible film for instant food casing
Creators: name: NGUYEN, MINH XUAN HONG
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Derived from shrimp shells, chitin and chitosan are non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible. However, some residual proteins from shrimp shells such as tropomyosin and arginine kinase could remain in these products and cause allergic reactions among consumers. Therefore, this study was aimed at investigation of their antimicrobial activity and allergenicity before applying to edible packaging for instant noodles. Two antibodies were raised against the purified shrimp tropomyosin and total crustacean protein extracts. Analysis by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting using these generated antibodies and sera of seafood-sensitized patients confirmed that there was the presence of tropomyosin in chitin and chitosan samples. Chitosan can inhibit the growth of both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Purified chitosan retains the antimicrobial property of normal chitosan. Their antimicrobial activity afforded a significant benefit on the preservation of raw shrimp at 0-4oC. Chitosan was mixed with gelatine for the formulation of edible packaging. This edible film showed excellent antimicrobial properties towards both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Therefore, it was applied as packaging for spice and oil sachets in instant noodles. The spice and oil stored in these edible film sachets still maintain their quality after 6 months of storage. These sachets should be kept in another container to prevent the exposure to humidity, but overall, this edible film is suitable for application in spice casings for instant noodles. In general, commercial chitin and chitosan should be purified before applying in the food industry to protect consumers from allergic reactions.

description: The paper investigated the relationship between working capital management and the performance of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. Data were collected from line managers of fifteen (15) quoted companies in Port Harcourt – Rivers State, Nigeria through a well designed structured questionnaire. Survey design was employed for the study. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used for the analysis. The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between inventory management and increase in product quantity of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria, there is a significant relationship between inventory management and product quality of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria and there is a significant relationship between inventory management and volume of sales of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. The researchers therefore recommend that: there should be effective and efficient management of inventory in the manufacturing firm so as to increase the firms’ quantity of products, the inventory management should be given attention in order to enhance the quality of products of firms etc.
title: Strukturanpassungsprogramme und ihre Auswirkungen auf die Demokratien Lateinamerikas
Creators: name: Fineder, Karin
Year: 2009

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit geht der Frage nach, wie die Strukturanpassungsprogramme des IWF die Demokratien Lateinamerikas beeinflussten. Die Institution des IWF ist dabei von derselben Bedeutung für die Betrachtung, wie dessen Ziele oder die Höhe der verfügbaren Geldmittel. Neben dem ursprünglichen Ziel, der Erhaltung der Wechselkursstabilität, entwickelte der IWF eine große Bandbreite an Maßnahmen mit der Zielsetzung, die ökonomischen Räume Lateinamerikas in freie Marktwirtschaften nach westlichem Vorbild zu transformieren. Die Umsetzung der Strukturanpassungsprogramme scheiterte letztlich aus verschiedenen Gründen. Die wichtigsten waren unklare Vorgaben der Evaluationsstandards, ebenso wie das Fehlen an Kriterien für den eigentlichen ökonomischen Transformationsprozess. Der Prozess der Demokratisierung ist in den meisten Ländern Lateinamerikas abgeschlossen, doch der Transitionsprozess zu vollständig freien Marktwirtschaften wie vom IWF und führenden Ökonomen, wie Milton Friedman, gefordert, ist immer noch im Gange. Viele soziale Probleme sind noch zu lösen. Doch dies alles wird letztlich von der Frage abhängen, wie und ob die Balance zwischen staatlichen Leitlinien und ökonomischer Selbstregulierung entschieden wird.

This work was focused on deriving temperatures inside the combustion chamber and verifying the selected materials can withstand the high temperatures and stresses. Results show that the fuel starts to break-up before the end of the burn. The addition of a graphite post-combustion chamber was also evaluated but it is not recommended for long burn times due to high temperature reached in the steel. This work is an important intermediate step in the design process to determine system performance.

description: In a cold-flow sub-scale nozzle campaign, a thrust-optimized parabolic nozzle (TOP) is compared to two novel TICTOP nozzles that are intended to suppress the formation of the internal shock and the occurrence of restricted shock separation (RSS). Indeed, the shock-free TICTOP nozzle successfully suppresses RSS whereas there is RSS in the TOP nozzle, hence proving the ability of the TICTOP concept to prevent RSS. However, parts of the tests suffer from the occurrence of condensation and desublimation due to high expansion. The TICTOP capability to suppress RSS could only be demonstrated in these cases because RSS did not occur in the TOP nozzle for condensation-free conditions.

A DWT based perceptual video coding framework: concepts, issues and techniques
Creators: name: Mei, Liming
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The work in this thesis explore the DWT based video coding by the introduction of a novel DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) / MC (Motion Compensation) / DPCM (Differential Pulse Code Modulation) video coding framework, which adopts the EBCOT as the coding engine for both the intra- and the inter-frame coder. The adaptive switching mechanism between the frame/field coding modes is investigated for this coding framework. The Low-Band-Shift (LBS) is employed for the MC in the DWT domain. The LBS based MC is proven to provide consistent improvement on the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) of the coded video over the simple Wavelet Tree (WT) based MC. The Adaptive Arithmetic Coding (AAC) is adopted to code the motion information. The context set of the Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (ABAC) for the inter-frame data is redesigned based on the statistical analysis. To further improve the perceived picture quality, a Perceptual Distortion Measure (PDM) based on human vision model is used for the EBCOT of the intra-frame coder. A visibility assessment of the quantization error of various subbands in the DWT domain is performed through subjective tests. In summary, all these findings have solved the issues originated from the proposed perceptual video coding framework. They include: a working DWT/MC/DPCM video coding framework with superior coding efficiency on sequences with translational or head-shoulder motion; an adaptive switching mechanism between frame and field coding mode; an effective LBS based MC scheme in the DWT domain; a methodology of the context design for entropy coding of the inter-frame data; a PDM which replaces the MSE inside the EBCOT coding engine for the intra-frame coder, which provides improvement on the perceived quality of intra-frames; a visibility assessment to the quantization errors in the DWT domain.

description: Bow shock wave standoff distance together with the stagnation parameters and drag force have been studied in problem of a heated ionized area effect on supersonic streamlining a hemi-cylinder body in xenon under freestream Mach number 4.3. Plasma effect has been conducted experimentally with the use of gas discharge of different intensity producing different electron temperature and different degree of non-equilibrium of the gas in the heated ionized area formed in front of the body. It has been shown that the bow shock standoff distance increases strongly with the increase of the degree of nonequilibrium. Numerical simulations have been made for Joule heating impact on the supersonic flow with the gas temperature equal to the electron temperature obtained experimentally. The comparison of the experimental and computational results showed a possible new mechanism of supersonic flow control connected with changing the degree of non-equilibrium of a gas. Complex conservative difference schemes are used in the simulations.

description: To reach the defined reduction goals for green house gas emissions, an increasing share of renewables and especially wind power is necessary. However, these generation technologies are intermittent and progressively exposed to market risks as a consequence of declining financial support in the future. To reduce revenue volatility, in this thesis, a wind farm is combined with a battery storage. The study emphasizes the battery’s effect on the investment risk and the accompanying cost of capital. In order to assess this effect, I develop a deterministic optimization model based on historic wind farm and market price data in order to maximize cash flows. Monte Carlo scenarios are generated to evaluate the impact on risk by using the Value-at-Risk as risk criterion. I find that batteries can indeed reduce revenue risk in a case without subsidies. Furthermore, the link to cost of capital is made. The latter, as well as the battery prices, need to be reduced by a certain amount to make the application of a battery economically reasonable.

title: Studien zur Protokoll-Literatur von Erika Runge
Creators: name: Frasl, Monika
Year: 2009

description: 1968 feierte Erika Runge mit den Bottroper Protokollen ihren literarischen Durchbruch. Diesen protokollierten Interviews mit Bewohnern aus dem Ruhrgebiet folgten in der BRD viele ähnliche Dokumentarbücher. Auch Runge setzte ihr dokumentarisches Schreiben fort und veröffentlichte von 1969 bis 1987 vier weitere Protokollsammlungen: Frauen. Versuche zur Emanzipation; Reise nach Rostock, DDR; Südafrika – Rassendiktatur zwischen Elend und Widerstand. Protokolle und Dokumente zur Apartheid und Berliner Liebesgeschichten. Kontext für das Entstehen der Dokumentarbücher von Runge sind die politisierten 60er-Jahre, in denen das Verhältnis von Literatur und Politik neu hinterfragt wurde und der operative Aspekt von Literatur zur Sprache kam. Anhand von Einzel- und Vergleichsanalysen wird untersucht, inwieweit sich die Darstellung in den fünf Protokollbänden Runges im Zeitablauf änderte, wie die Autorin ihre Protokoll- und Interviewsammlungen gestaltete. Ausgehend von progressiven Strömungen Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts werden im 20. Jahrhundert mit dem BPRS, der Dortmunder Gruppe 61 und dem Werkkreis Literatur der Arbeitswelt literarische Gruppen skizziert, welche neue Literaturkonzepte forderten und proletarische Wirklichkeit darstellten. Bevorzugte Formen wie Zeitstücke, Reportagen, Berichte und Interviews schließen an Formen der 20er- und 30er-Jahre an. Neben Dokumentarstücken sind in den 60er-Jahren die Industriereportagen von Günter Wallraff und die Tonbandprotokolle von Erika Runge wesentlich. Erika Runge, auch Regisseurin und Filmemacherin, hat Interviews mit verschiedenen Bevölkerungsgruppen geführt und diese in Monologform als Protokoll-Literatur veröffentlicht. Runge begann mit wenigen und exemplarischen Lebensgeschichten aus dem Ruhrgebiet, veröffentlichte dann eine Interviewsammlung von Frauen, eine systemkonforme Interviewsammlung aus der DDR, eine sachliche Dokumentationen über Südafrika und zuletzt wieder ausgewählte Lebens- und Liebesgeschichten von Berlinern. Als Autorin ist Runge heute beinahe vergessen. In den 70er-Jahren wurde ihr Band Frauen. Versuche zur Emanzipation Vorbild für Protokolle von DDR-Autorinnen und durch ihre narrativen Interviews, durch ihre Lebensgeschichten und Erzählungen ist sie auch Vorbild für die Oral History geworden.

description: Triple-shock configurations have been studied in problem of energy source effect on supersonic streamlining a body of a shape of plate blunted by a cylinder. Freestream Mach numbers were changed from 3 to 4.2. Energy source is suggested to have a form of a heated rarefied channel (layer). Changing the angles of elements of the triple-shock configurations with the flow direction are researched for different gas mixtures with the specific heats ratio from 1.1 to 1.4. Dependences of triple-shock configurations on the Mach number and characteristics of the energy release have been obtained. Complicated shock-vortex structures with multiple reflection of simple waves accompanying tripleshock configurations together with the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability have been studied for M=7, 8. Complex conservative difference schemes are used in the simulations.

description: Concentrations of gaseous chemicals species like H2O, CO2 together with temperature data are key parameters to characterize different types and phases of combustion processes. Measurements of these parameters can be used in numerical simulations to improve engine design and efficiency. The current paper presents the work on extending Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) to tomographic measurements in view of two dimensional mapping of concentration (with focus on H2O) and other thermodynamic parameters (with focus on temperature) in turbulent flames. An adaptation of the Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART) have been tested on a methane/air McKenna flame with a scanning TDLAS setup operating at wavelengths around 1.4m on H20 absorption lines. The theoretical principles are explained in details and some results of experiments are presented and analyzed to determine the accuracy of the TDLAT technique followed by suggestions for improvement.
Stress and emotion recognition in natural speech in the work and family environments

description: The speech stress and emotion recognition and classification technology has a potential to provide significant benefits to the national and international industry and society in general. The accuracy of an automatic emotion speech and emotion recognition relays heavily on the discrimination power of the characteristic features.

This work introduced and examined a number of new linear and nonlinear feature extraction methods for an automatic detection of stress and emotion in speech.

The proposed linear feature extraction methods included features derived from the speech spectrograms (SS-CB/BARK/ERB-AE, SS-AF-CB/BARK/ERB-AE, SS-LGF-OFS, SS-ALGF-OFS, SS-SP-ALGF-OFS and SS-sigma-pi), wavelet packets (WP-ALGF-OFS) and the empirical mode decomposition (EMD-AER).

The proposed nonlinear feature extraction methods were based on the results of recent laryngological studies and nonlinear modelling of the phonation process. The proposed nonlinear features included the area under the TEO autocorrelation envelope based on different spectral decompositions (TEO-DWT, TEO-WP, TEO-PWP-S and TEO-PWP-G), as well as features representing spectral energy distribution of speech (AUSEES) and glottal waveform (AUSEEG).

The proposed features were compared with features based on the classical linear model of speech production including F0, formants, MFCC and glottal time/frequency parameters.

Two classifiers GMM and KNN were tested for consistency. The experiments used speech under actual stress from the SUSAS database (7 speakers; 3 female and 4 male) and speech with five naturally expressed emotions (neutral, anger, anxious, dysphoric and happy) from the ORI corpora (71 speakers; 27 female and 44 male).

The nonlinear features clearly outperformed all the linear features. The classification results demonstrated consistency with the nonlinear model of the phonation process indicating that the harmonic structure and the spectral distribution of the glottal energy provide the most important cues for stress and emotion recognition in speech.

The study also investigated if the automatic emotion recognition can determine differences in emotion expression between parents of depressed adolescents and parents of non-depressed adolescents. It was also investigated if there are differences in emotion expression between mothers and fathers in general. The experiment results indicated that parents of depressed adolescent produce stronger more exaggerated expressions of affect than parents of non-depressed children. And females in general provide easier to discriminate (more exaggerated) expressions of affect than males.

description: The present contribution addresses a simplified expression of the distribution of the Electro Hydrodynamic (EHD) force generated by a single Radio frequency (RF) Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma actuator. By combining judiciously different models previously reported, an upgraded EHD body force model has been elaborated in order to get an expression depending exclusively on the plasma actuator design and operating settings which can be effortlessly implemented as a source term in commercial flow solvers. The performance of the model is assessed through a series of flow computation addressing various arrangements involving multiple actuators. Namely the case of in-series actuator configuration and the case of flipped actuator configuration. Comparisons with flow measurements reported in the literature have shown the relevancy of the adopted modeling approach as well as room for model improvements.
