▼ Adaptive fuzzy control has been an active research area in the past decade. Fundamental issues such as stability, robustness, and performance analysis have been solved. However, one main drawback is the generally fixed structure of the fuzzy controllers, which are normally chosen by trial-and-error in practice. Few attempts to develop self-structuring AFC have been reported, and important issues such as stability, computational efficiency, and implementability have not been investigated thoroughly. In particular, the stability of the system when the structure changes has not been proven. Thus, a more effective self-structuring AFC scheme is desirable. The main objective of the research is to develop a stable self-structuring AFC scheme for continuous-time single-input-single-output (SISO) uncertain nonlinear systems. A novel online self-structuring adaptive fuzzy control scheme that is applicable for a number of classes of continuous SISO nonlinear systems is proposed. The applicable classes include affine nonlinear systems, non-affine nonlinear systems, and nonlinear systems in triangular forms. The main features of the proposed control scheme are: • It needs less restriction on the controlled plants and no restriction on the design parameters. • It employs a modified adaptive law that guarantees explicit boundedness of adaptive parameters and control action. • The self-structuring algorithm is relatively simple and guarantees explicit boundedness of the number of rules generated. • Only triangular membership functions are generated and only 2 membership functions are allowed to overlap to increase the interpretability of generated fuzzy controllers. • High-gain observers are used when not all the states are measurable and the design of observers is completely separated from the design of controllers. • For nonlinear systems in triangular forms, only one fuzzy system is needed (unlike the back-stepping approach where one fuzzy system is needed at each step). • An approximation error estimator and an automatic switching mechanism can be used to further increase the robustness and computational efficiency. The stability of the overall system, especially when the structure changes, is guaranteed using the Lyapunov stability technique. The overall system is stable in the sense that all the variables are bounded (including number of rules generated) and the tracking error is uniformly ultimately bounded. The proposed control algorithms are implemented in Matlab and Simulink for ease of simulation and practical application. Numerous simulation examples are performed to demonstrate the theoretical results. The proposed control scheme makes practical application of AFC easier. Designers need to specify only a few design parameters and no longer have to specify the controller structure by trial and error. A simulation or application can be quickly and easily implemented using the developed controllers in Simulink.

▼ The role of the prosecuting lawyer, despite its crucial importance in the administration of criminal justice, has often been both misunderstood and overlooked. The prosecutor acts not as a partisan advocate bent solely on the conviction of the accused but rather as the disinterested minister of justice whose only purpose is to assist the court in arriving at the truth of the matter in dispute and promoting justice. This notion is deeply entrenched in the criminal law. This Thesis considers the development of the prosecutorial role in England and Australia as a minister of justice. It examines specifically the development and application in England and Australia of two important functions performed by the prosecution; first, the prosecution’s obligations in the disclosure of relevant material in its possession to the defence and, secondly, the prosecution’s discretion in its choice of the witnesses to call at trial. The focus of this Thesis is on the performance of these two functions in the context of the preparation for trial and/or the conduct of a criminal trial on indictment before the higher courts. This Thesis considers the inherent tension in the exercise of these functions between the dual prosecutorial roles of minister of justice and active advocate in an adversarial criminal justice system. It is argued that this tension is ultimately not capable of reconciliation. This Thesis questions the extent to which the minister of justice concept remains an appropriate model to govern the exercise of the modern prosecutorial role. It is argued that more than rhetoric is necessary to define and govern the modern prosecutorial role adequately. It may be timely to reconsider the minister of justice concept as a universal definition of the modern prosecutorial role. It is accepted that in relation to disclosure of relevant material the prosecution must act as the candid minister of justice. However, it is argued that the prosecuting lawyer should be free with respect to some functions and in some circumstances to assume a robust and “adversarial” role, notably with regard to its choice of the witnesses to call at trial.

▼ Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) has a considerable amount of genetic diversity for many agronomic and physiological traits. This diversity is highlighted through the considerable genotype by environment interaction influences on yield observed in Europe, North America, and the subtropical regions of Australia. There is a need to quantify the influence of genotype by environment interactions on yield and key physiological processes in the cool temperate dairy regions of Australia. This information will ensure that appropriate cultivars can be selected and best management practices developed so that lucerne can become a greater component of the dairy feedbase. Field experiments indentified that genotype by environment interactions occur in cool temperate regions, with winter dormant genotypes adapted to low yield potential environments, and winter active genotypes adapted to high yield potential environments. Irrigation was identified as a major management input determining genotype by environment interactions. The relative influence of each yield component was not affected by a genotype by environment interaction, and mass per shoot consistently had the greatest impact on yield accounting for up to 80% of the variability in yield. Cultivar influenced taproot sugar and starch concentrations only with irrigation. SARDI 10 (a highly-winter active cultivar) had lower taproot sugar concentration and SARDI 7 (a winter active cultivar) had lower taproot starch concentrations than the other cultivars. When not irrigated over summer, taproot soluble protein concentrations of Grasslands Kaituna (a semi-winter dormant cultivar) were greater than SARDI 10. All cultivars had a greater abundance of vegetative storage proteins (VSPs) in taproots and enhanced phenotypic and genetic expression of winter dormancy under dryland conditions. Glasshouse experiments revealed that increasing water deficits during regrowth decreased mass per shoot and shoots per plant. Water deficits of 75% or less of the replacement water requirement decreased total plant photosynthesis only through a reduction in leaf area and not by a decrease in either net carbon dioxide exchange rate or efficiency of photosystem II. Taproot starch concentration decreased and soluble sugar concentration increased with increasing water deficit. Plants receiving 25% of their water requirement accumulated soluble proteins seven days earlier than fully watered plants. Water deficits of 50% or less than the replacement water requirement also increased the abundance of VSPs, but VSP accumulation patterns and gene transcript levels were similar irrespective of drought treatment. With water deficit, the cold acclimation responsive gene CAR1 had a fivefold increase in expression in taproots of Grasslands Kaituna but not SARDI 10. These experiments have shown that in the cool temperate dairy regions of Australia, under dryland conditions, the more winter dormant cultivars should be grown, while if irrigation is available, winter active cultivars should be grown. In addition this…

▼ In order to minimise the impact of bushfire hazard consequences on the Australian community it is important to promote protective behaviours among those members of society living in at-risk locations. The adoption of protective behaviours is a core component of contemporary bushfire risk management, and is known to increase the capacity of individuals to maintain or regain prior levels of functioning following significant hazard activity. However, although considerable effort has been directed towards encouraging preparedness for bushfires in Australia, this effort has largely been unrewarded, and levels of household preparation remain low. In particular, research examining a broad range of hazards has demonstrated that neither susceptibility to a hazard and perception of risk, nor providing information about a hazard or its consequences results in a significant increase in preparation. These discontinuities point to the influence of additional motivational and interpretive (social-environmental) factors in the preparation decision, and suggest a need to move beyond examinations of the antecedents of behaviour to an exploration of the cognitive processes that bring about behaviour change. This thesis examines the decision cues that influence individual socio-cognitive processing in the decision to prepare for bushfires. Information about people’s attitudes to bushfires and bushfire preparation was obtained using 36 in-depth telephone interviews in January 2006 and between March and April 2007. Grounded theory was used to build a substantive model of bushfire preparedness decisionmaking. Surveys were distributed (2006/07 and 2007/08) systematically to houses within 100 metres of the bushland fringe in suburbs identified as being at risk from bushfire with assistance from local fire agencies. Quantitative data were used to validate and test the suitability of the substantive model developed from the interview data using confirmatory Structural Equation Modelling. Results confirmed that levels of bushfire preparedness are generally low. Several cues influenced the decision to prepare, including outcome expectancy, sense of community, preparation inhibitors, collective problem solving and intentions to prepare. The substantive model of bushfire preparedness decision-making was successfully validated and tested with data from Hobart, but a poorer model fit was observed with data collected from Sydney. Modelling the decision cues shows that individuals living in high bushfire risk areas are making a clear distinction between the decision to prepare and the decision not to prepare for bushfire, but the relative importance of the decision cues vary between communities and over time. The decision not to prepare was primarily driven by negative outcome expectancy. Positive outcome expectancy leads to strong beliefs in the value of making bushfire preparations. The results confirmed earlier observations that traditional risk communication techniques have proved ineffective and provide a framework for the development of…

▼ This thesis explores the knowledge growth of beginning primary teachers in different employment contexts in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. It examines the difference in competency in the first two years of teaching attained by those who commenced teaching in stable, cohesive circumstances with secure, continuing employment and that of their colleagues, a majority of beginning teachers, who worked in uncertain and fragmented teaching situations as casual, relief or substitute teachers. This study also proposes an extension of current models of the knowledge base of teaching and the formulation of a more complex view of the knowledge base comprising three domains, knowledge of the practice of teaching, knowledge of the context of teaching, and knowledge of self-as-teacher. This thesis proposes a redefinition of the current concept of “context” beyond the school in which a teacher is employed to the broader concept of the employment context itself and examines the contextual factors impacting on teacher development. It enhances extant models of teacher development that describe teacher competencies at time-bound stages of a teacher’s career and proposes that beginning teachers’ movement from one stage of development to the next requires experience-in-context. A literature review provided insights into the way in which researchers such as Bullough (see, for example, Bullough, 1989, 1997; Bullough, Knowles, & Crow, 1992) and Berliner (1995, 1998, 2001) represented the experiences of beginning teachers and their development. The data revealed some consonance in the experience of beginning teaching between contemporary Australian teachers and teachers represented in the literature. There were also significant differences, resulting from the effect of differences in initial employment experience that remained hitherto unexamined by other authors. This research study utilised an exploratory mixed methods design. Data were gathered primarily through semi-structured interviews in a collective case study of eight participants. The question-response format was complemented by classroom observation, stimulated recall, document and artefact analysis and participant completion of a series of concept maps. In addition, a postal survey-questionnaire provided quantitative data from 241 beginning teachers located across NSW, Australia. The data indicated that the employment context significantly affected teacher development. Teachers in cohesive situations experienced development in all three domains of the knowledge base and were able to progress beyond the “novice” stage within two years. Those who spent two years in uncertain and fragmented employment contexts frequently regressed. This study will be of interest to educational researchers as it proposes some redefinitions of accepted constructs commonly applied to beginning teachers’ development. It will be of interest also to educational policy makers in clarifying the effect on future teacher competency of learning to teach in uncertain contexts, and to educational…

▼ Malcolm Williamson (1931-2003) was one of the most successful Australian composers of the latter half of the twentieth century and the depth, breadth and diversity of his achievements are largely related to his decision to leave Australia for Britain in the early 1950s. By the 1960s, he was commonly referred to as the “most commissioned composer in Britain” and in 1975 he was appointed to the esteemed post of Master of the Queen’s Music. While his service to music in Britain is generally acknowledged in the literature, the extent of his contribution to Australian music is not widely recognised and this is the first research to be undertaken with a strong focus on the identification and examination of the many works he composed for his homeland and his projection of an Australian identity through his music and persona. This study draws on previously-unexplored primary source material, including correspondence and manuscript scores, to support the assertion that Williamson projected an Australian identity and to provide insight into the construction and manifestations of that persona and the effect that these elements had on the reception of his works. Major works examined in this study include Symphony for Voices (1960-62), The Display (1964), the Sixth (1982) and Seventh (1984) symphonies, The True Endeavour (1988) and The Dawn is at Hand (1989). To place the discussion of Williamson’s expressions of national identity in context, the composer’s expatriate experience and views of his homeland are examined and compared to the journeys and opinions of numerous other high-profile Australian expatriate creative artists. Significantly, many parallels are discovered that can be interpreted as characteristics of the reverse-migration experience and are indicative of the prevailing cultural attitudes towards Australian expatriates during the twentieth century; confirming that Williamson’s situation was not particularly unique. This research has permitted a reassessment of Williamson’s creative life and work and as a result, his contribution to Australian music can now be contextualised and more comprehensively understood and acknowledged.

▼ In Australia, social and legal trends towards shared parenting after separation coincide with statistics conveying domestic violence as the single biggest health risk to women of reproductive age (UNPFR, 2005). Such statistics rely on the reporting of physical violence, yet there is a growing recognition that domestic violence is best conceptualised as a pattern of coercive control (Stark, 2007) that may include only minor, if any, physical violence (Johnson, 2008). An important concern for the Australian social work profession should be a coherent ability to identify and respond to domestic violence in order to ensure the protection of women and children in the trend towards shared-parenting post separation. This thesis explored women’s experiences of post-separation shared parenting arrangements and the aspects of abuse which persisted beyond separation. The study was conducted from a feminist standpoint. Thirty (30) women were recruited using non-probability purposive and snowballing sampling procedures. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews explored their pre- and post-separation experiences of abuse from the fathers of the children. This data was then thematically analysed. The findings of this study show that there was a commonality of dynamics underlying the relationship each woman had with the father of their children. Despite the women’s resistance, these dynamics gave rise to shared experiences of oppression both pre- and post-separation. The dynamics are conceptualised as a web of abuse emanating from their partners’ attitudinal and behavioural style. A parallel is drawn between the web of abuse and a process of colonisation. Colonisation helps clarify the relentless and pervasive pattern of boundary violations experienced by the women both pre- and post-separation. It also explains the extent of the women’s post-separation difficulties irrespective of the presence, form or intensity of shared parenting arrangements. The consequences of conceptualising domestic violence independently of physical violence and as a colonising process are discussed with regard to the implications for counselling, research, the socio-legal response, and social work knowledge and practice. A conclusion drawn from this study suggests that critical to the anti-oppressive practice of social workers in the field of domestic violence is their ability to detect and disrupt colonising attitudes and behaviours. Collusion with such attitudes and behaviours seriously undermines the value of our profession for women and children who are at risk of abuse.

▼ This study examined spatial variation in water quality and its relationship to riparian land management in the Coal River Valley, SE Tasmania. Historical water quality data from stations at Baden, downstream of the Craigbourne Dam, Richmond and White Kangaroo Rivulet collected between 1999 and 2008 were obtained from DPIPWE. The water quality variables selected for study were water temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), water pH, turbidity, nitrate, total nitrogen (TN), dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP), total phosphorus (TP) and stream flow. Riparian land use within one kilometre of the river was assessed and digitised using 2005/7 colour aerial photographs and water quality data for that period were examined and possible linkages investigated. The historical data demonstrates complex spatial patterns of in-stream water quality parameters in the Coal River Valley. The Craigbourne reservoir and apparent differences in geology between subcatchments explained some of the differences observed in water quality parameters better than land use. There was no significant variation in water temperature but higher values were recorded at Richmond. Similarly, higher EC was observed at the base of the catchment (Richmond) than at the top of the catchment (Baden). The influence of the Craigbourne Dam was reflected in higher pH, DO, DRP, TP and water flow at the station downstream of this large water reservoir in the middle of the catchment. In the White Kangaroo tributary higher nitrate and TN were observed but at Richmond, below its confluence with the Coal River, lower TP and TN were recorded. There was a significant negative correlation between DO and water temperature observed in the Coal River. However, positive correlations were found between stream flow and rainfall with turbidity at all stations except downstream of the reservoir. Stream nitrogen and phosphorus showed a significant relationship with rainfall at Richmond. Positive correlations of turbidity with nitrate, TN, DRP and TP show nutrients bound to sediment are a likely source of many nutrients in the river. Consequently, riparian vegetation could play a vital role in reducing sediment load and nutrient concentration in the river system. Subcatchment riparian land use and water quality data from 2005/7 suggests that lower turbidity at Richmond (2.82 NTU) compared to White Kangaroo Rivulet (4.25 NTU) and Baden (4.70 NTU) may be due to the impact of higher percentages of willow trees in the Richmond subcatchment (1.92 %) followed by White Kangaroo subcatchment (0.26%) and Baden (0%). Riparian land management works such as planting native vegetation and fencing (approx 4 km) on the river banks could have reduced the sediment load and nutrient in the river by preventing erosion caused by stock access to river water. This is supported by 2005/7 nutrient data at Richmond where TP (0.015 mg/L) and TN (0.625 mg/L) were observed as compared to Baden (TP = 0.020 mg/L, TN = 0.69 mg/L) and Downstream Craigbourne Dam (TP = 0.022 mg/L, TN = 0.71…

▼ Metallothionein-I/II (MT-I/II) is a 6-7 kDa, cysteine rich, zinc and copper binding protein. MT-I/II null mutant ((^−/−)) mice have an altered response to brain injury. Therefore, MT-I/II has been proposed to be a protective protein after brain injury but the mechanism by which it confers protection remains elusive. There is a possibility that MT-I/II has protective actions within the injured brain but MT-I/II also has the capacity to modulate the immune system which plays a role in the progression of brain injury. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the differences in the progression of brain injury between wild type and MT-I/II(^−/−) mice with particular emphasis on the action of MT-I/II in organs peripheral to the central nervous system after brain injury. Using a cryolesion brain injury model, neuron death in MT-I/II(^−/−) mice was prolonged at later stages of the brain injury (7 days post-injury) meanwhile it had ceased in wild type mice. In conjunction with this occurrence, the numbers of T cells infiltrating the injury site were significantly higher in MT-I/II(^−/−) mice at 7 days post-injury. Chemokine mRNA synthesis was analysed to determine if MT-I/II(^−/−) mice had altered chemotactic signals that may affect the rate of T cell infiltration but differences were rarely observed when compared to wild type mice. In MT-I/II(^−/−) mice, circulating leukocytes showed no differences to wild type mice in the relative ratios of lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes or T cells. However, the absolute white blood cell count was significantly higher in the blood of MT-I/II(^−/−) mice, but only at 7 days post-injury. MT-I/II(^−/−) mice were also found to have lower levels of the marker of alternatively activated macrophages, Ym1, than wild type mice, both in macrophages in the brain and in monocytes in the blood after brain injury. Therefore, there appear to be several immune system differences between MT-I/II(^−/−) mice and wild type mice after brain injury. To further investigate the role of MT-I/II after brain injury, MT-I and MT-II mRNA levels were quantified by reverse transcriptase PCR. An enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) was developed to measure MT-I/II protein levels in brain and liver after brain injury. Both MT-I and MT-II mRNA levels increase at 1 day post-injury in brain and liver and are decreased by 7 days post-injury. MT-I/II protein in brain was highest at 1 day post-injury but in the liver was maximally expressed at 7 days post injury. This increase in hepatic MT-I/II protein resulted in a higher hepatic zinc content in wild type mice compared to MT-I/II(^−/−) mice. Therefore these results suggest that brain injury induces a hepatic MT-I/II response which may be responsible for modulation of the essential trace metal, zinc after brain injury.

▼ An investigation into the hydrodynamic performance and flow field characteristics of a novel high-speed supercavitating hydrofoil concept proposed by Elms (1999) is presented. The hydrofoil is wedge-shaped with a supercavity detaching from geometric discontinuities at its trailing edges. Lift is generated by the asymmetry of the cavity/flow field created by trailing edge forwardand backward-facing steps. In this way bi-directional lift can be created from a symmetric hydrofoil. To ensure establishment and maintenance of a stable supercavity air is introduced by external ventilation via the hydrofoil base. The formation of the trailing edge steps would be practically realised by the deflection of a trailing flap. At zero incidence and flap deflection there would be no supercavity formed and no lift produced. The cavity formation from a hydrofoil by this mechanism is analogous to the separated flow over an ‘interceptor’ device fitted to the transom of a high-speed hull for trim and/or steerage control. Due to this similarity the concept has been termed an ‘intercepted hydrofoil’. This hydrofoil configuration is analysed using a potential based 2-D nonlinear boundary element method. For a given cavity length, the resulting cavity surface velocity and shape are determined in an iterative manner under prescribed constant pressure and flow tangency boundary conditions. Both infinite and confined flow domain cases of the boundary element analysis are presented. The latter case is of interest in providing blockage correction information for a future companion physical experimental program. An optimum base-ventilated supercavitating hydrofoil profile is a compromise between limiting of the pressure minimum at the leading edge and maintaining stable cavity detachment from the trailing edges. These are both necessary so as to maintain the hydrofoil surfaces in a wetted condition, thereby ensuring that the generated forces remain steady and predictable. The greatest efficiency is obtained by using the smallest thickness to chord ratio with a sufficient margin against cavity breakdown allowing for variance in operating conditions. Hydrodynamic performance of the ‘interceptor’ in isolation from the foil, i.e. cavitating flow over a wall-mounted fence, is also presented. Classical analytical, boundary element and Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equation based computational fluid dynamics methods were used for this analysis. The ‘ideal’ optimum hydrodynamic performance obtained from potential flow analysis is compared with the viscous flow numerical results.

▼ Consumers worldwide expect access to safe seafood products regardless of its origin. Each country judges imported products against its own residue and contaminant standards coupled with differing testing capability, sample collection, sample preparation and data reporting strategies. Australian exporters of finfish whether it is farmed or wild capture origin have to negotiate their way through a series of regulatory hurdles and gate keeper organisations in each market they wish to target. Detention or destruction of product at border control stations can occur if importing country standards are not met. This thesis outlines five separate case studies of how this has been successfully done with select high value Australian finfish species by tackling different issues of public health and market access concern. The General Introduction provides an overview of the researched finfish species and introduces the key residues and contaminants addressed in this thesis. Chapter two introduces dioxins and PCBs data for single season grow- out farmed Australian Southern Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) SBT. The mean concentration of dioxins found was 0.53 pg WHO TEQ/g (range 0.2-1.1) while the mean concentration of PCBs found was 32 µg/kg (range 13-55). Chapter three more comprehensively addresses single season grow-out farmed Australian SBT not just for dioxins and PCBs, but pesticides, antibiotics and metallic elements. Japanese port of entry official sampling methods are discussed. The mean concentration of dioxins in wild SBT was 0.14 pg TEQ/g (range 0.07-0.32) and in farmed SBT was 0.2 pg TEQ/g (range 0.06-0.8). The mean concentration of the sum of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in wild SBT was 0.27 pg TEQ/g (range 0.18-0.45) and in farmed SBT was 1 pg TEQ/g (range 0.2-4). Mean PCB concentration in wild SBT was 0.13 pg TEQ/g (range 0.1-0.21) and in farmed SBT was 0.8 pg TEQ/g (range 0.17-3.5). Mean PCB total concentration in wild SBT was 0.47 µg/kg (range 0.4-0.6) and in farmed SBT was 6.6 µg/kg (range 0.8-41). The mean concentration of total mercury in wild SBT was 0.34 mg/kg (range 0.28-0.42) and in farmed SBT was 0.31 mg/kg (range 0.18-0.45). There were no detectable levels of any pesticide or antimicrobial compounds in any sample of SBT. Chapter four introduces farmed Yellowtail Kingfish (Seriola lalandi) YTKF and Mulloway (Argyrosomus hololepidotus). Data on dioxins, PCBs, pesticides, veterinary medicines and metallic elements are presented and discussed in terms of Australia, Japanese and European regulatory standards. The mean concentration of dioxins in YTKF was 0.6 pg TEQ/g (range 0.22-0.8) and in Mulloway was 0.16 pg TEQ/g (range 0.16-0.16). The mean concentration of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in the YTKF was 2.6 pg TEQ/g (range 1.4-3.5), while the Mulloway had a mean concentration of 0.67 pg TEQ/g (range 0.57-0.76). The mean concentration of PCBs in YTKF was 21 µg/kg (range 8.6-29) and in Mulloway was 5.4 µg/kg (mean 4.7-6). The mean concentration of dioxin-like PCBs in YTKF…

▼ The thermoregulatory influence of building materials to improve the thermal comfort of buildings has been examined primarily using climate modelling based on the work of Fanger (1972). This modelling has limitations because it does not accept that building occupants are active participants in controlling their thermal environment. This thesis addresses this knowledge gap by examining how thermal comfort in the temperate climate of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia is influenced by thermal mass in buildings. This research assessed: how the temperate climate of Hobart impacts the thermal environment of a building; how past research in passive design for energy efficiency has been adopted, and; what methods of modelling and studying thermal comfort are appropriate. The nine case studies examined a range of building and occupant types. An analysis was undertaken for each building including zoning and layout, building materials and insulation. Occupants were interviewed at the commencement of each case study which included examining acclimatisation to the local climate and thermal satisfaction with the dwelling. Seasonal temperature data were recorded in the central living space of buildings over a three month period. The research gathered dry bulb temperatures, surface temperatures, and humidity data in each building. Direct observations were made on the activities of the occupants within their thermal environment and they were surveyed regarding thermal comfort levels. Results indicate that thermal mass impacts thermal comfort levels of occupants. However, this impact can be negative or positive depending on other external factors such as the placement of thermal mass within the building, exposure of thermal mass to insolation and insulating materials around the thermal mass. In dwellings with poor thermal performance occupants can increase thermal comfort levels by more closely adapting to the thermal environment. Such techniques for adaptation include: the adjustment of clothing; the use of controls such as windows and blinds; relocation within the building; changes in posture and levels of physical activity; and acclimatisation to the local climate. The results of this research are widely applicable to Hobart‟s housing stock and could be implemented into the passive design of new buildings and retrofitting of existing buildings to improve thermal efficiency. This research shows the importance of thermal mass in passive design concepts of residential buildings. It provides details on how thermal mass should be ideally implemented in a building, including placement, orientation, and access to solar gain.

▼ This thesis describes two bodies of work in which new methods were developed to aid the miniaturisation and integration of chromatography. The first body of work deals with the development of new stationary phases for boronate affinity chromatography. Porous polymer monoliths were developed for use as microscale boronate affinity extraction materials. The monoliths were prepared in situ from poly(butyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) confined inside 100 μm ID fused silica capillaries. A 2-step sequential photoinitiated grafting procedure was then used to create a layer of poly(glycidyl methacrylate) on the pore surface of the monoliths. Finally, the pendant glycidyl groups on this grafted layer were functionalised by ring-opening reactions with either p-hydroxyphenylboronic acid or p-(aminomethyl)phenylboronic acid, yielding boronate extraction columns with capacities of 2.3 μmol/mL or 0.03 μmol/mL respectively. The p-hydroxyphenylboronic acid functionalised column was stable at up to 250 bar pressure. It was interfaced to an electrospray ionization mass spectrometer where its selectivity was demonstrated by separation of glycated and non-glycated peptides. The broad diol selectivity of the material was further demonstrated by extraction of 11 nucleosides and by extraction of guanosine from a spiked urine sample. The second body of work deals with the conception and development of a new approach to controlling eluent composition gradients in chromatography. Gradient liquid chromatography typically relies on systems with multiple pumps that mix stock solutions at varied ratios or systems with electrolytic eluent generation. This thesis introduces an entirely new method in which a photosensitive chemical is dissolved in the eluent and irradiated at variable intensities as it is pumped through a photoreaction tube to create isocratic or gradient eluent profiles. Six different acid-generating photochemical reagents were tested and it was found that 2-chloro-1-(2,5-dimethyphenyl)ethanone was the most suitable chemical for generating acid concentration gradients. The system was demonstrated for capillary scale inorganic cation exchange chromatography with suppressed conductivity detection and pH gradient reversed phase chromatography with on-line mass spectrometry detection. The advantages of this photochemical approach to eluent generation, including greater solvent compatibility than electrochemical methods and greater design simplicity for simpler miniaturised chromatography systems, are discussed.

▼ There are a number of putative tryptophan-dependent pathways leading to the bioactive auxin, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in plants, although none of these is fully characterised in terms of the isolation of genes for enzymatic reactions, and identification and quantification of precursor compounds. Herein, the tryptamine pathway (tryptophan – tryptamine - indole-3-acetaldehyde - IAA), the indole-3-pyruvic acid pathway (tryptophan - indole-3-pyruvic acid- IAA) and the indoleacetamide pathway (tryptophan – indoleacetamide - IAA) to IAA are examined in Pisum sativum (pea) using a compound-based approach, detecting potential precursors by gas chromatography/tandem-mass spectrometry (GC/MS/MS) and ultra performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (UPLC/MS), in order to complement the genetic findings of others. Synthesised deuterated forms of the intermediates involved have been used to quantify the endogenous compounds, and to investigate their metabolic fates. Methods for the isolation and quantification of the following compounds were devised and tested. Tryptophan, tryptamine, indole-3-acetaldehyde (IAAld), indoleacetamide, indole-3-ethanol (IEt) and IAA were detected as endogenous constituents, whereas indole-3-acetaldoxime and one of its products, indole-3-acetonitrile, were not detected. Metabolism experiments indicated that the tryptamine pathway to IAA in pea roots proceeds in the sequence tryptophan – tryptamine – IAAld – IAA, with IEt as a side-branch product of IAAld. The endogenous levels of IAA precursors, along with their abundance in tissue types, of a low-auxin mutant (bushy) have also been studied in order to characterise the mutation, and to assess the involvement of different IAA biosynthesis pathways. The effects of wounding, a synthetic auxin and an inhibitor of auxin action on the regulation of the biosynthesis pathways have also been studied. It appears that the tryptamine pathway is operative in pea roots; however, it cannot be ruled out that other tryptophan-dependent pathways to IAA are also operative, nor can we rule out the possibility of a tryptophan-independent pathway operating in these organs.

▼ This doctoral research investigated video-based intervention (VBI) for individuals with autism. Without effective intervention, individuals with autism are likely to experience difficulties with functioning at home, progressing at school, and becoming independent in the community. VBI is a promising educational approach for this population. However, this thesis highlights several important practical and theoretical questions relating to VBI for individuals with autism that have, to date, remained unanswered. In particular, this doctoral research focuses on whether there is a positive relationship between a participant’s imitation ability and the effectiveness of VBI. It also explores the question of whether one type of model (an adult, a peer, a sibling, or the participant themselves) is more effective than the others. Five boys diagnosed with autism and aged between nine and 15 years participated in the three intervention studies. Each study utilised a single-case research design. In the first study, the participant’s imitation assessment (interview and observation-based formats) suggested that he was suited to VBI. As a result of the video modelling (VM) procedures (with an adult-as-model), the participant’s completion of two daily living tasks improved. In the second study, no improvements were observed across three target behaviours as a result of either the adult-as-model or the sibling-as-model VBI conditions. The findings of the second study could be explained, at least in part, by limitations in the participant’s imitation skills, as evidenced by his imitation assessment scores. In the third study, no differences in the effectiveness of the adult-as-model compared with the peer or sibling-as-model conditions were evident for teaching the three boys to tie a shoelace knot. Also, a backward chaining procedure was found to be more effective than the video prompting procedures. Imitation assessment scores, as well as adaptive behaviour age equivalents and severity of autistic impairment scores, could be used to explain differences in acquisition of the target behaviour across participants in the third study. Overall, the findings are consistent with the hypothesis that participants who demonstrate stronger imitation skills are more likely to benefit from VBI. No consistent differences between the effectiveness of sibling, peer, or adult models were identified. The findings of the three studies are considered in terms of how these and other variables influence the effectiveness of VBI. The contribution of these findings to the field and their implications for both research and practice are discussed.

▼ It was of concern to the researcher that students were successfully completing introductory tertiary statistics units (if success is measured by grades received), without having the ability to explain the principles behind statistical inference. In other words, students were applying procedural knowledge (surface learning) without concurrent conceptual knowledge. This study had the aim of investigating if alternative teaching strategies could assist students in gaining the ability to explain the principles behind two tools of statistical inference: P-values and confidence intervals for the population mean. Computer simulations were used to introduce students to statistical concepts. Students were also introduced to alternative representations of hypothesis tests, and were encouraged to give written explanations of their reasoning. Time for reflection, writing and discussion was also introduced into the lectures. It was the contention of the researcher that students are unfamiliar with the hypothetical, probabilistic reasoning that statistical inference requires. Therefore students were introduced to this form of reasoning gradually throughout the teaching semester, starting with simple examples that the students could understand. It was hoped that by the use of these examples students could make connections that would form the basis of further understanding. It was found that in general, students' understanding of P-values, as demonstrated by the reasoning used in their written explanations, did improve over the four semesters of the study. Students‟ understanding of confidence intervals also improved over the time of the study. However for confidence intervals, where simple examples were more difficult to find, student understanding did not improve to the extent that it did for P-values. It is recommended that statistics instructors need to appreciate that tertiary students, even those with pre-tertiary mathematics, may not have a good appreciation of probabilistic processes. Students will also be unfamiliar with hypothetical, probabilistic reasoning, and will find this difficult. Statistics instructors, therefore, need to find connections that students can make to more familiar contexts, use alternative representations of statistical processes, and give students time to reflect and write on their work.

▼ Since the 1960s revisionist Australian histories have sought to redress the perceived imbalance of earlier accounts. These histories have predominantly argued that invasion and dispossession typify contact between Aborigines and settler Australians. Concerning contact between missionaries and Aborigines, missionaries are held to be largely responsible not only for the dispossession of Aboriginal spirituality, but for the current dysfunction at many former mission sites. Furthermore, much scholarly work and commentary over the last three decades assumes a crude binarism in respect to Aboriginal religious beliefs and Christianity. Traditional, or classical Aboriginal belief systems and adherence to the Christian faith are held to be antithetical. Implicitly more than explicitly, but apparent nevertheless, is the accompanying understanding that Christian beliefs displace Aboriginality. Aborigines, therefore, are either spiritually traditional or Christian, not both. That is, to be authentically Aboriginal one cannot be Christian and vice versa. While revisionist studies have been useful in contesting earlier assessments of the mission era, they have become established as yet another orthodoxy. Much evidence suggests that the interface between missions, Christianity and Aborigines is more nuanced than this new orthodoxy permits. Taking its cue from this evidence, this thesis investigates the premise that many Aboriginal people find Christianity important and that their belief in Christianity is a legitimate expression of Aboriginality. This thesis challenges the dominant reading of missionary impact through a case study of the contact between Presbyterian missionaries and Pitjantjatjara people at Ernabella Mission (1937 to 1974) in the far north-west of South Australia. A close reading of archival material from Ernabella and recollections of Pitjantjatjara people who associated with the mission reveal that missionaries at Ernabella attempted to preserve tribal life through a policy of minimal intervention, that the presence of the mission and its policy allowed Pitjantjatjara people to remain connected to their country, and that Pitjantjatjara people exercised agency in their relationships with missionaries and in their engagement with Christianity. This research found that at Ernabella (and elsewhere) those who are Elders of the church are most often those also responsible for upholding traditional Law. The alleged boundaries, therefore, and dislocation between Aborigines and Christianity, are not so clearly defined. Throughout the mission era Aboriginal people expressed Christianity in myriad and innovative ways and have continued to do so in the post-mission era. Recognising this, studies of other missions may also find histories which contest the established position.

▼ Digital video as an expressive art medium has informed both narrative and installation based video for some time. However, one specific area of video art production that has been overlooked as an expressive procedure is time-lapse. This project builds a portrayal, through time-lapse, that develops from a research pathway investigating light, focus and movement in landscape. What drives the project is a desire to present work of a particular intensity based on a Heideggerian belief that non-representational truth can emerge despite the initial intention of the artist. In this light, I am informed by the work of Australian artist Janet Laurence and the concept of “slow space” portrayed in her site-specific works. By placing sculptured, layered glass structures into a landscape setting she facilitates, through variable reflection, the gradual dissolving of patterns in shifting light into structural form. Likewise, the minimal electronic pixel based screen work of American digital artist Jim Campbell aligns with the idea of time-lapse by changing the representation of moving street figures on a screen from a minimal blocky pixel base into a half screen area covered by Perspex, thus creating defined shadow forms through minimal representation. An entwined encounter develops within the project as interplay between the artist, the video medium and framed areas of glass and plastic, called screens – objects that recreate light. The mood and duration for light and movement occurring within the screen surfaces is essentially changed through capture by video technology, and time-lapse as a video camera based facility alters again the parameters for video to express movements in the play of light. Visual relationships both tonal and involving the physicality of objects are initially explored. Within the screen environments it is noticed that various textural properties are either acquired or infused into the surface area of the screens. These surfaces display the earthy tones and hues that are inherent in dust and other organisms. Other surfaces explored have been scratched by human touch or molded in their process of manufacture to prevent a clear view. These and other distinctive surfaces become a physically textured world for the interplay of light. By being animated, it is the surface interplay that brings a human attachment, fostering a sense of meaning in shadow form. Digital processing within the video camera indexes light as imagery, tonally redefining a lived experience, and time-lapse in replay can lead an audience into visual encounters that are otherwise unavailable to human view. At a crucial stage in the project, the use of time-lapse begins to significantly capture an essence of the play of light. As a result, what is normally perceived as fast animated activity, conventionally used as video form for the implementation of a quick segue, comes to represent a perception that light and time pass by slowly. The viewing experience engages a contemplative disposition accompanying long scenes of richly endowed but…

▼ This thesis presents research on automated video analysis using computer vision systems, for analysing fish movements and behaviours in sea cages and tanks. Video technology is widely used in aquaculture to observe fish movements, however these observations can be subjective and fish can only be observed for short periods due to the manual labour required and observer fatigue. In research, the analysis of video footage is tedious and very time consuming, requiring sampling to make it feasible. It is therefore desirable to automate such analysis and provide users with a tool that can gather data about fish movements in real-time, continuously, objectively and at a high sampling rate. The aim of this thesis is to develop and validate computer vision systems to track fish automatically in sea cages and tanks. Three computer vision systems are proposed, one for sea cages and two for tanks, and they consist of two major stages. The first stage extracts fish images from complex backgrounds in video footage through the process of segmentation. The second stage is responsible for tracking multiple detected fish by associating newly extracted objects with existing tracks of fish. The system developed for use in sea cages tracks fish for short periods and generates measures of fish movement - their average swimming speed and direction. The first system used in tanks tracks a small number of fish over a long period of time with the purpose of longterm observation of spatial location and agonistic behaviours between individuals. The second system used in tanks is based on the one developed for sea cages and is used to track small groups of fish, with the purpose of observing groups' spatiotemporal patterns rather than movements of individuals. When using the sea cage system, variations in swimming speed and direction were observed within days and between days. Some of these variations could be attributed to water current changes due to tides, but no consistent patterns were observed in relation to time of day or feeding. During the transfer of Atlantic salmon smolts from a freshwater hatchery to sea cages, a pattern of non-schooling behaviour during the first 3-5 weeks was observed, followed by a sharp transition to schooling behaviour. In tanks, tracking of two individuals was possible but maintaining unique identification of fish was not completely achieved. When tracking groups of fish, the tracking system was able to detect variations in swimming speed, while spatiotemporal patterns were observed in relation to the demand feeder and the water inlet. The sea cage system has a potential application in the commercial setting, where it can be used to develop behavioural profiles of fish and act as an alarm system if unusual behaviours are detected. From the research point of view, use of these automated systems improves the process of gathering data about fish movements, provides a high level of sampling and increases the speed of video processing, which is currently based on manual observation of fish movement. Time can be…

▼ This study examined the role of oral corrective feedback in the context of ESL (English as a second language) in one Malaysian state. Recent studies have provided empirical evidence to support a positive role for feedback in students’ second language development. However there has also been evidence that suggests that oral corrective feedback is used in only a limited way in the Malaysian context. In seeking to understand this limited use of oral corrective feedback, Malaysian teachers’ views were gained and their classroom teaching behaviours were investigated. The students’ views on oral corrective feedback were also gained, particularly in relation to their attitudes and feelings towards the oral corrective feedback used by their teachers. While most studies have only examined the teachers’ perspective, it was a feature of the design of this study to also include the students’ perspectives in order to provide a more comprehensive approach to understanding the limited use of oral corrective feedback in this context. The study data were gained from a mixed methods approach of surveys, semi-structured interviews and classroom observation sessions, collected over five months in 42 secondary schools in the state of Penang, Malaysia. Of the 172 lower secondary school English teachers who responded to the questionnaire, 6 also participated in the interviews and classroom observations. The students’ survey was completed by 1843 lower secondary school students. The analysis of the qualitative data was based on a constructivist approach which utilised grounded theory and coded strategies by thematic analysis; the quantitative data were analysed using standard statistical analysis procedures (SPSS) to provide descriptive statistics of frequency distributions, median scores and Chi-square tests. The main finding from data on the teachers’ perspective was that they shared similar views on issues related to the use of oral corrective feedback in classroom lessons. Interestingly, the choice of oral corrective feedback by the teachers in the observation sessions did not seem to depend on the student oral language error types, as previous studies had shown. However, there were some variations evident in the types of oral corrective feedback used for certain error types. A second main finding of the study was that students actually perceived oral corrective feedback positively. They felt positive attitudes and feelings towards the error correction received from their teachers and they were keen to receive more teacher correction. This study contributes to both the theory and practice of English teaching and learning within a lower secondary ESL classroom context. It has provided insights into how English teachers might attend more usefully to their students’ English learning needs, particularly by extending their use of oral corrective feedback.

▼ This thesis exploits the high temporal resolution and precise dating of ice cores from Law Dome, coastal East Antarctica, to address questions concerning climate forcings, variability and feedbacks over a range of timescales: (i) sub-annual to decadal-scale environmental influences on the (¹⁰)Be solar activity proxy; (ii) centennial to millennial-scale internal climate variability; and (iii) the phase relationship between Antarctic temperature and atmospheric CO(₂) during the last deglaciation. Cosmogenic (¹⁰)Be is a primary ice core proxy for past solar activity. However, interpretation of the (¹⁰)Be record is hindered by limited understanding of the physical processes governing its atmospheric transport and deposition to the ice sheets. The thesis presents a suite of monthly to annually-resolved Law Dome (¹⁰)Be records, which combined span 1936-2009. The records are quantitatively assessed against observed cosmic ray intensities, instrumental and reanalysis climate data and ECHAM5-HAM General Circulation Model (GCM) simulations. The seasonal variability in (¹⁰)Be is characterised by an (austral) summer to autumn concentration maximum and a winter concentration minimum. The GCM simulations, corroborated by earlier observations of (¹⁰)Be:(⁷)Be ratios, link the seasonal concentration maximum to direct input of (¹⁰)Be from the Antarctic stratosphere to the lower levels of the Antarctic troposphere. On annual timescales, Law Dome (¹⁰)Be concentrations are significantly correlated to the 11-year solar cycle modulation of cosmic ray intensity, r(_xy) = 0.54, with 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.31; 0.70]. A signicant correlation is also observed between annual (¹⁰)Be concentrations and the zonal wave three pattern of atmospheric circulation, r(_xy) = -0.36, 95% CI [-0.57; -0.10]. An additional annually-resolved (¹⁰)Be record, from the Das2 site in southeast Greenland spanning 1936-2002, is analysed to facilitate inter-hemispheric comparisons. Das2 (¹⁰)Be concentrations are also significantly correlated to cosmic ray intensity, r(_xy) = 0.45, 95% CI [0.22; 0.62] and to variability in the dominant mode of atmospheric circulation in the region, the North Atlantic Oscillation, r(_xy) = -0.42, 95% CI [-0.64; 0.15]. The strength and spectral coherence of the solar activity signal in (¹⁰)Be is enhanced, and the climate signals are reduced, when (¹⁰)Be records are combined from both Antarctica and Greenland. This implies that solar reconstructions are likely to be more robust when (¹⁰)Be records are included from multiple sites. The amplitudes of the 11-year solar cycles in the (¹⁰)Be records are inconsistent with the view that the ice sheets receive only (¹⁰)Be produced at polar latitudes, instead supporting that they sample from a globally well-mixed atmosphere. In addition, a chemical method is developed to remove the problematic (¹⁰)Be isobar boron-10 from Accelerator Mass Spectrometer (AMS) targets. The last…

▼ As fuel prices rise and environmental awareness becomes an increasingly important topic, the efficiency of engines used for power production and transport must be increased whilst decreasing exhaust gas emissions and noise levels. From results obtained during this research project, in combination with work being produced at other research facilities, it is hoped that a greater understanding of how the leading edge region of compressor blades react to changes in engine operating points in a steady and unsteady environment is gained. This thesis investigates the boundary layer development at the leading edge of a controlled diffusion stator blade with a circular arc leading edge profile. Steady flow measurements were made inside a large scale 2D compressor cascade at Reynolds numbers of 260, 000 and 400, 000 over a range of inlet flow angles corresponding to both positive and negative incidence at a level of freestream turbulence similar to that seen in an embedded stage of industrial axial flow compressor. The instrumented blade of a large scale 2D cascade contained a series of very high resolution static pressure tappings and an array of hot-film sensors in the first 10% of surface length from the leading edge. Detailed static pressure measurements in the leading edge region show the time-mean boundary layer development through the velocity over-speed and following region of accelerating flow on the suction surface. The formation of separation bubbles at the leading edge of the pressure and suction surfaces trigger the boundary layer to undergo an initial and rapid transition to turbulence. On the pressure surface the bubble forms at all values of incidence tested, whereas on the suction surface a bubble only forms for incidence greater than design. In all cases the bubble length was reduced significantly as Reynolds number was increased. These trends are supported by the qualitative analysis of surface flow visualisation images. Quasi-wall shear stress measurements from hot-film sensors were interpreted using a hybrid threshold peak-valley-counting algorithm to yield time-averaged turbulent intermittency on the blade’s suction surface. These results, in combination with raw quasi-wall shear stress traces show evidence of boundary layer relaminarisation on the suction surface downstream of the leading edge velocity over-speed in the favorable pressure gradient leading to peak suction. The relaminarisation process is observed to become less effective as Reynolds number and inlet flow angle are increased. The boundary layer development is shown to have a large influence on the blade total pressure loss. Initial observations were made without unsteady wakes and at negative incidence loss was seen to increase as the Reynolds number was decreased and, in contrast, at positive incidence the opposite trend was displayed. The cascade’s rotating bar mechanism was used for unsteady tests where the influence of changing reduced frequency was investigated and compared to the performance of the cascade in steady operation.…

▼ The expectation that the Australian Public Service (APS) is an ethical, values-driven institution providing impartial advice to ministers while acting in the public interest is enduring, and under a Westminster framework is fundamental to democracy. However, a more politicised public service resulting from public service reforms has challenged this notion in practice. While the principles and functions of the APS have been clearly set out in the Public Service Act and the Public Service Values, the informal concept of ‘frank and fearless advice’ is still regarded as a powerful term of reference by public servants and the general public. However, during the Howard government’s term of office between 1996-2007, several incidents that generated claims of politicisation raised concerns about the lack of frank and fearless policy advice expressed in practice by the APS. Public sector reform undertaken since the 1970s has had a crucial impact on the way the public service is structured, and therefore has had a significant impact on the policy-making role of the APS and the ability of the public service to solve or even manage wicked problems such as social and environmental issues. The primary aim of this thesis is to gain some insight into the concept of the politicisation of the APS in order to identify its effect on social and environmental issues. From an historical institutionalist perspective, and using critical analysis with interviews as secondary research, this thesis focuses on the possibility of the politicisation of public service advice for wicked problems such as social and environmental issues that were often placed as secondary to the focus of the Howard government on economic and security issues. Two case studies have been analysed in this thesis; poverty as a social issue and water as an environmental issue. It is concluded that an enduring problem with both poverty and water are political priorities, which are difficult to change. Notwithstanding political considerations, the necessity for an apolitical public service is essential in contemporary Australia in order to ensure the public interest, equity and continued democracy when providing policy advice to government.

▼ Defects in microvascular perfusion, which is important for nutrient exchange in skeletal muscle, contribute to insulin resistance associated with obesity and hypertension. One factor that may link this microvascular dysfunction in these conditions is the renin angiotensin system (RAS). The primary objective of this thesis was to address these issues using rat models of obesity and altered RAS activity. Two different models of insulin resistance were analysed for the involvement of microvascular dysfunction. Rats were fed either a high fat or a high salt diet for 4 weeks to develop insulin resistance. The hyperinsulinaemic, euglycaemic clamp and 1-methyl xanthine techniques were used to investigate insulin sensitivity and microvascular recruitment, respectively. Despite different origins of insulin resistance, both animal models had markedly impaired insulin-mediated microvascular recruitment in muscle. The contribution of increased angiotensin II (AngII) activity to microvascular dysfunction in both animal models was examined. Hindleg vascular AngII sensitivity (assessed using both the perfused rat hindlimb technique and locally infused AngII in vivo) was enhanced in the high salt but not the high fat-fed rat. Thus, although both models developed microvascular insulin resistance, only the high salt-fed rats exhibited increased vascular AngII activity. There is conflicting evidence as to whether RAS dysregulation also contributes to insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes associated with obesity. The obese Zucker rat (a model of type 2 diabetes) has impaired insulin-mediated microvascular recruitment, and has been reported to have a dysregulated RAS, but represents a later stage of insulin resistance than the high fat-fed rat. To determine whether RAS inhibition enhances insulin sensitivity, high salt-fed and obese Zucker rats were treated with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (quinapril) for 4 weeks. Inhibition of ACE significantly improved insulin sensitivity and augmented insulin-stimulated microvascular perfusion in high salt-fed rats, but not in obese Zucker rats. The data from this thesis demonstrate that the origin of microvascular insulin resistance is multifactorial. Dysregulation of the RAS is important in some but not all forms of microvascular insulin resistance. Therefore inhibition of RAS may not always be effective at treating insulin resistance and may only be beneficial during earlier stages of insulin resistance rather than later stages such as type 2 diabetes.

▼ Pyrethrum (Tanacatum cinerariifolium) is cultivated worldwide and in southern Australia for the extraction of insecticidal esters or pyrethrins contained within the achenes of flowers. Producing a significant proportion of the worlds botanical pyrethrins, Australian crops may suffer reduced yields from annual flower disease epidemics caused by pathogenic fungi Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Little is known regarding (i) the epidemiology of flower blights caused by B. cinerea and S. sclerotiorum in pyrethrum, (ii) the efficacy of current control methods, (iii) whether there is evidence of fungicide resistance in the fungal population, (iv) whether alternative fungicides can provide improved control over those currently used, (v) whether other fungi could be involved in annual flower disease epidemics and, (vi) the loss in flower yield and pyrethrin assay from flower diseases. A survey of the incidence of B. cinerea and S. sclerotiorum in flowers was undertaken in ten commercial pyrethrum crops in one year. Flowers from non-fungicide treated areas in commercial crops were periodically sampled throughout flowering prior to being surface sterilised and incubated under high humidity to encourage fungal growth. B. cinerea and S. sclerotiorum were prevalent, with both occurring in flowers from all 10 crops. The mean incidence of B. cinerea in flowers sampled between 10-11 December across all crops was 56%, significantly higher (P = 0.024) than S. sclerotiorum (29.4%), while between 16-18 December mean incidence of B. cinerea was 75.7%, again significantly higher (P = 0.026) than incidence of S. sclerotiorum (51.8%) at this time. The main means of managing flower blights of pyrethrum is currently through a fungicide program over flowering involving tebuconazole and carbendazim. The efficacy of the flowering fungicide program for controlling B. cinerea and S. sclerotiorum flower blights and promoting benefits in terms of increased yield was evaluated in nontreated and fungicide treated plots in 10, 10 and 17 commercial pyrethrum crops during the flowering period over three years, respectively. In each of two years, fungicide treatment resulted in a mean incidence of B. cinerea near to harvest which bordered on being significantly lower (0.05 < P < 0.1) than no treatment. In the third year, fungicide treatment significantly (P = 0.038) reduced mean fungal incidence from 75% to 53.3% in nontreated close to harvest. The incidence of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in flowers from nontreated was significantly higher (P < 0.001) than from fungicide treated in year one (62.8% and 29.2% respectively) and again significantly higher (P = 0.019) in year two (26% and 8.1% respectively). Across all fields, fungicide applications in year one resulted in no significant yield improvement. During year two, mean pyrethrin yield (across all sites) was significantly increased from 90.4kg/ha in nontreated areas to 108.4 kg/ha in fungicide treated plots (P = 0.032) and during the final year fungicide treatment significantly increased…

▼ The purpose of this research was to describe and examine sport literacy in the context of secondary physical education and to investigate the limits, constraints and possibilities that physical education pre-service teachers' face when they attempt to take a progressive pedagogical approach to sport teaching on professional teaching practice. The literature informing the research suggested that evidence of learning is often absent from the physical education curriculum and discourses of physical education are marginalised. One of the results of this research was to view sport literacy as an outcome of well thought out design, philosophy and practice that lead to progressive sport teaching in secondary school physical education. A curriculum that supports sport literacy is one that combines concepts from Teaching Games for Understanding (Bunker &Thorpe, 1982,1983) with Sport Education (Siedentop, 1994; Siedentop, Hastie & van der Mars, 2011). Such a curriculum delivers education through sport itself and through ideas and practices associated with sport. Pre-service teachers were taught about the design and practice of sport literacy when they undertook a physical education topic before doing their final professional teaching practice placement. The pre-service teachers participated in the study over a six month period. The data collection occurred in four stages: 1. Investigation of a final year cohort of PETE-PS teachers observation and understanding of the important elements when teaching sport in physical education; 2. Investigation of the cohort of PETE-PS teachers responses to sport literacy from their perspective as learners of a sport and for its possibilities as a model that would support their sport teaching in physical education; 3a. Investigation of the cohort of pre-service teachers' experiences attempting to design and enact sport teaching in physical education while on professional teaching practice placement; 3b. Investigation of mentor teacher experiences with TGfU and Sport Education; and, 4. Interviews with pre-service teachers about the limits, constraints and possibilities of sport literacy. The data suggested that Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) and Sport Education are unlikely to feature in the observation and understanding of physical education pre-service teachers in schools in South Australia. PETE is the site where pre-service teachers are most likely to be exposed to TGfU and Sport Education approaches. The data revealed preservice teachers were receptive to learning about sport literacy as a framework for teaching but working against the possibilities for sport literacy to inform sport teaching was the absence of examples of TGfU and Sport Education in practice in school settings. Mentor teachers mostly adhered to traditional behaviourist orientated textbook teachings aimed for little more than 'busy, happy, active' time (Placek, 1983). This prevented pre-service teachers from introducing different ideas during their professional teaching practice. Schools differ widely in terms…

▼ Over the past three decades Australian governments, school systems and schools have made considerable investments in providing information and communication technology (ICT) to support teaching and student learning. These investments have been strongly endorsed by national and international organisations, as well as by businesses and schools themselves. Key rationales for providing ICT in schools have been to enhance the quality of teaching and students‘ learning; to prepare students for participation in the emerging knowledge economy; and for participation in life-long learning. Previous studies have provided accounts of the use of ICT in schools and classrooms, yet the literature and findings from the current study indicates that the use of ICT in Australian schools is not a daily occurrence; nor is it transformative. In particular the literature and the current study reinforces the need for a number of ICT inhibitors to be overcome before the potential of ICT to transform teaching and students‘ learning can be realised. This study sought to understand how six Australian schools used and viewed their use of ICT for teaching and students‘ learning from the perspective of parents, students, teachers and the school principals. These issues were investigated using a case study survey methodology involving 84 parents (guardians), 120 students, 56 teachers and 6 school principals across two Australian states, Tasmania and Victoria. Data were analyzed using inferential and descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling procedures. There were five main findings: (a) parents who were involved in school decision-making were more supportive of school uses of ICT than the less involved parents; (b) students who used ICT at home more frequently tended to use the same technologies at school and were more confident users; (c) younger teachers, female teachers, and teachers who had worked in four or more schools or regional schools were more positively disposed towards the use of ICT in their teaching practices, than their colleagues, although teachers with good ICT skills felt that technology could be a distraction for students‘ learning, (d) principals were supportive towards the use of ICT in their schools and provided staff with equipment, ancillary support staff, and teacher professional development opportunities, and (e) there was an iterative interaction between ICT and home and school use, particularly in terms of ICT that was used for producing an assessable assignment and an output that linked to the students‘ writing of text, use of visual media and multiliteracies, seeking new information, and using software to solve problems. Schools played a major role in enhancing students‘ confidence about ICT, while home provided opportunities to practice with that technology and to facilitate communication using ICT. An important finding was that both home and school enhance students‘ ICT skills and make the student a more independent learner and user of ICT. Whilst the current study identified that teachers were not…

▼ The RUNX1 transcription factor is an important regulator of haematopoiesis and has been found to influence gene activity at both the transcriptional and chromatin levels. In leukaemia, particularly Acute Myeloid Leukaemia, RUNX1 activity is frequently altered by point mutations and chromosomal rearrangements, the most common being the t(8;21) translocation that produces a RUNX1-ETO fusion protein. While RUNX1 is generally associated with gene activation, RUNX1-ETO mainly acts as a transcriptional repressor and its presence is therefore associated with altered expression of RUNX1 target genes. Previous microarray analysis performed in our laboratory identified both the LIFR and gp130 genes as novel putative RUNX1 targets. LIFR together with gp130 forms a heterodimeric receptor complex that mediates LIF signalling, and in doing so controls various cellular processes including cellular development, differentiation and inflammatory responses. However, despite their important biological roles little is known about regulation of the LIFR and gp130 genes. Bioinformatic analysis identified potential RUNX1 binding sites in the promoters of both the LIFR and gp130 genes, and this study therefore examined the hypothesis that LIFR and gp130 are RUNX1 target genes and their altered expression in leukemic cells in which RUNX1 is disrupted may therefore contribute to leukaemia. The LIFR gene is regulated by alternate promoters, with a so called ‘general’ and ‘placental’ promoter previously described. Analysis of LIFR mRNA across a number of cell types demonstrated that activity of the placental promoter is limited to cell lines of placental origin, while the general promoter is active in a range of cell types, including myeloid cells. This was confirmed by analysis of the chromatin status of the two promoters, which found that the general, but not placental promoter is assembled into highly acetylated histones in myeloid cells. The expression of the gp130 mRNA was detected across all cells lines examined. Reporter analysis demonstrated that both the placental and general promoters can be activated by RUNX1 in placental and myeloid cell lines respectively. In addition, the gp130 promoter was activated by RUNX1 in myeloid cell lines. In contrast, RUNX1-ETO repressed both the LIFR and gp130 promoters in myeloid cells. Further, binding of RUNX1 to the endogenous LIFR and gp130 promoters was confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation, suggesting that the endogenous promoters are targeted by RUNX1. In support of this RUNX1 knockdown reduced LIFR and gp130 expression in myeloid cell lines, and decreased expression of the placental LIFR transcript in placental cells. Put together, the data presented in this thesis demonstrates that RUNX1 regulates expression of the LIFR and gp130 promoters, suggesting that activity of the LIFR/gp130 receptor complex is likely to be altered in leukaemic cells in which RUNX1 is altered.
