▼ This thesis is concerned with developing a visual language to explore the concept of immaterial reality as encountered through transformative experience. Many individuals have had unique, and often profound, transformative experiences which have made them aware of a different order of reality. Following the experience, there is a certainty within the individual that an intangible aspect of reality exists, traditionally referred to as the immaterial or spiritual. The experiences are not exclusive to, or necessarily associated with, traditional forms of institutionalised religion and they are not automatically related to the occult. They can occur to any individual, regardless of age, sex, race or their location in time and space. The experiences are imbued with an archetypal form of beauty which permeates the individual’s vision of existence. This deepened vision becomes part of their daily experience of reality. Utilising archetypal imagery, light, pattern, symmetry, and geometry, I visually explore my transformative experiences. The exploration of the archetypal concepts of transformation, duality and the immaterial, has resulted in a body of work comprised of installations that incorporate video, photography and sound. Each of the seven works draws from my own subjective experience of reality, creating a highly personal, meditative, and immersive environment. Personal transformative experience has prompted me to examine the metaphysical questions surrounding the human condition. This has resulted in a multidisciplinary theoretical framework for my art practise. I have engaged with writings from psychology, philosophy, mythology, modern physics and comparative religion, including the works of C.G. Jung, Joseph Campbell, Fritjof Capra and Paul Davies. The same questions of existence stimulated by my transformative experiences have inspired artists throughout recorded history. My research is contextualised by contemporary artists who explore matters pertaining to the immaterial aspects of reality. Video artists, Bill Viola and Jordan Belson, explore their own subjective transformative experiences, while others explore humanity’s spiritual connection with nature, or imbue their work with an invisible presence through an engagement with human perception. I seek to contribute to my field through an examination of ancient archetypal symbols and ideas using new technologies. Thus I have utilised, computer generated imagery and digitally generated audio to represent the experience of revelation and create a metaphor for spiritual transformation. Additionally, my work links the idea of transformation and revelation to experiences of childhood; both through the recreation of experiences from my childhood as well as drawing on more recent events with my own children. These aspects combine to render an individual vision of a universal experience.

▼ The transition from student to worker is one of great significance. Decisions made about occupation can determine future career trajectories and, by extension, access to or denial of societal privilege, occupational status attainment and social identity. Partly in response to this, it is becoming increasingly common for individuals to have exposure to workplaces by undertaking a period of vocational education and training (VET) whilst in the latter stages of secondary school. This research uses such a transitional period to examine occupational decision making of students undertaking a hospitality vocational course in Tasmania, Australia. Globally, the hospitality sector experiences pressing problem of skills and labour shortages and therefore there is a need to investigate the reasons why individuals choose to enter and remain in hospitality occupations. This thesis links two well-established career decision-making theories to identify a more appropriate means to examine the elongated period of occupational decision making through vocational education and training. This non-traditional approach to occupational decision making is not well reflected in the career literature or by existing models of career decision making. Using a mixed method approach, this longitudinal study examines the occupational decision-making processes of students from different backgrounds. Their stories reveal a holistic picture of the impacts of family influence, socioeconomic background and interests on an initial decision to enter training as preparation for an occupation in hospitality. The longitudinal method allows further investigation of the assessment of that initial occupational decision for suitability during the VET course and into early career. This research has found that socioeconomic background, parental occupation and interest will narrow the range of occupational choices perceived to be available to individuals as described in Gottfredson‟s (1981) Theory of Circumscription and Compromise. However, it was found that assumptions of individual agency and rational decision making were curtailed by the perception of limited occupational options underpinned by fundamental social structures such as social class and occupational status. Early career decision making was found to depend largely on the relative strength of goals, expectation of outcomes and sense of self-efficacy as described in Lent, Brown and Hackett‟s (1994) Social Cognitive Career Theory. Decisions were not formally rational given the limits of their research into occupations and the limitations to thinking created by social structures. This research also identifies the role of workplace relationships as an explicit and powerful moderator of turnover intention in early hospitality career.

▼ This project has developed a sculptural language that actively responds to and participates in the climate change debate. It employs energy and air as key materials in direct response to climate change, a discourse framed and driven by the relationship between energy use and the earth’s atmosphere. The research was motivated by a desire to develop an alternative approach to making environmentally engaged sculpture where singular strategies, such as utilising only recycled materials, have limitations in their ability to address the complex and seemingly intangible nature of climate change. While the project has historical links to environmental and land art that emerged in the 1960s, the contextual focus has been sustainable design, sculpture and installation art which strategically integrate the materials of energy and air, made since the 1980s, the period in which the world became more aware about global warming. By synthesising formal and conceptual approaches from these sources, the project has developed a multifaceted sculptural language in response to the complexity of climate change. This language has been informed by artists such as Simon Starling and Tue Greenfort who create installation-based environmental systems. The metaphorical link between global warming and human respiration emphasized by Maria Miranda and Norie Neumark in their work Talking About the Weather (2006 ongoing) has been substantially explored in this project. The research output consists primarily of sculptural objects whose form and function have been inspired by sustainable design and DIY culture. These objects require physical human input to demonstrate the mechanical dimension of their relationship to climate change. The sculptures are supplemented by video documentation that depicts their activation in order to parody emergent climate change solutions such as alternative energy generation and carbon capture and storage. My presence in these videos as a test subject or tragic anti-hero offers a blackly humorous critique of individual climate change convictions. Singular strategies for creating environmentally engaged sculpture are limited in their ability to respond to climate change. Through the strategic use of energy and air in a series of sculptural objects that incorporate elements of sustainable design and DIY culture, this research has developed a multifaceted language that actively responds to this complex environmental issue. By parodying alternative energy generation systems and highlighting a metaphorical association between global warming and human respiration, the project creates an opportunity for the viewer to reassess their climate change beliefs.

▼ Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, demyelinating condition of the central nervous system, manifesting in alteration or loss of motor, sensory and cognitive function. The causes of MS are unclear but include genetic and environmental factors. This thesis presents several epidemiologic analyses, examining MS geoepidemiology, locally and globally, as well as evaluating key environmental and infectious determinants of clinical course. The first analysis chapter examines MS epidemiology in the Greater Hobart region of Tasmania over the interval 1951 to 2009. This analysis found a significant increase in prevalence, this mediated by a significantly decreased mortality and increased longevity, as well as evidence of an increasing female/male sex ratio. Next is a meta-analysis of MS prevalence and its association with latitude. This work, utilising the largest collection of MS prevalence studies, found a significant positive association between MS prevalence and latitude. This provides evidence in favour of the latitudinal gradient hypothesis and for environmental factors underlying the gradient, most particularly personal ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure and vitamin D. The association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and relapse was examined in a prospective cohort with clinically-definite MS followed for 2.3 years. This analysis found a significant inverse association between higher levels of 25(OH)D and subsequent hazard of relapse. This study provides key evidence that is needed to justify conducting randomised clinical trials of vitamin D supplementation in reducing relapse frequency in MS. In this MS cohort, it was also found that persons on interferon-β (IFN-β) therapy had significantly higher 25(OH)D levels and that the association between personal sun exposure and 25(OH)D was stronger compared to those not on IFN-β. Importantly, the above association between 25(OH)D and relapse was only observed for those on IFN-β therapy. Last is an examination of the role of antibodies to Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in MS clinical course. This analysis found a significant positive association between anti-HHV-6 I(_g)G and relapse. This effect persisted on adjustment for the anti-EBV I(_g)Gs, indicating the effect was specific for HHV-6 antigen, or host antigen resembling it. There was no evidence of frequent serological HHV-6 reactivation, suggesting that the observed association between anti-HHV-6 I(_g)G and relapse was not being mediated by serologically-detectable peripheral reactivation of HHV-6. No associations were observed between anti-HHV-6 and anti-EBV I(_g)Gs and progression in clinical disability. This thesis presents a range of studies which add significantly to the literature on MS geoepidemiology, as well as the associations of environmental and infectious factors on MS clinical course. This work will be useful in the scientific community; both for hypothesis generation and providing strong evidence in support of existing hypotheses, and hopefully be of…

▼ The aim of the research undertaken here was to devise a new form of democratic government that, according to theoretical criteria, is likely to perform better than existing and currently proposed types of liberal democratic government. The task is commenced by inspecting structural elements common to these governments for liability to cause defective performance. A ‘forward mapping’ of causal chains was made from these elements and this indicated three types of behaviour will be produced that would cause some neglect of public goods. These behaviours are: confusion about who directs the development of public policy; excessive competition between political representatives; and excessive compromising of the political influence of informed public opinion by uninformed public opinion. This ‘triple dysfunction’ hypothesis is tested with two ‘backward mapping’ exercises that start from cases of under-provision of public goods to look for causal factors in government behaviours or structures. These cases largely concern the management of natural resources and as those tests give some support for the hypothesis, more tests are carried out by inspecting whether it appears to explain democratic failure in another four issues that affect the use of natural resources: population size, global warming, unemployment and growth of wants for scarce natural capital. The hypothesis is also supported by these tests and in the case of growth of wants this support is given by a fairly detailed analysis of how the growth is driven by the irresponsibility predicted by triple dysfunction. As this hypothesis shows some reliability it is then used to design an institution for improving democratic government. This is the ‘People’s Forum’. It is intended to counter triple dysfunction by assisting citizens to develop strategic public policy and to pressure politicians to enact this. The Forum is compared with three other proposals for reforming democratic government that have been put forward in the literature. This comparison employs an analytical framework devised for the purpose and it indicates that in practice, the Forum is likely to outperform these other designs. That conclusion may be systematically questioned by using the framework: by entering into it, revised ratings of the various capabilities of each design; by revising the framework itself; or by or by doing both together. Performance indicators are suggested for monitoring the progress of any trials that are made of the Forum. An argument is made as to why any trial of the Forum needs to be carried out over a whole polity and not as small scale experiments. It is suggested that some democratic innovations of narrow focus could assist the Forum while it also assists them. This study offers four contributions to political science: a hypothesis of failure by liberal democratic government; an institution to correct this failure; a framework for comparing such reforms; and a method for designing institutional innovations. The study also contributes to ecological economics by…

▼ The main aim of this thesis is to explore what members of volunteer sporting organisations understand as governance for their organisations and how and why they implement particular governance structures and to use the findings to begin the development of a theoretical explanation of governance in these organisations. Voluntary sporting organisations in Australia have undergone significant change in the emphasis placed on governance structures (historically the sole domain of volunteers). Demands placed on the sector to become more “accountable” by incorporating and adopting business practices has led to a need to employ professional staff such as general managers, and to a need to seek business skills in the volunteer board members. The changes required in governance and in the behaviour of the volunteers have resulted in governance structures that have received little research attention and therefore lack a cohesive theoretical explanation. In order to understand the “what, how and why”, an in-depth qualitative analysis using a grounded theory approach of four different Tasmanian voluntary sporting organisations was undertaken. Grounded theory is particularly useful in an area that lacks both theory development and incorporates terms such as “governance” and “effectiveness” derived from social constructs. It enables the data to be examined and theories to emerge from the data without trying to force the data to fit the literature. In this way unique features of the sector that were previously ignored or not given prominence may be identified. This was the case: the theme of volunteer management (labelled human resource management) should be recognised as a theme, not a sub-category of board operations and stewardship theory offered the strongest explanations for the findings. With the understanding that volunteers and their management was a central theme came the understanding of the high level of communication needed to maintain strong relationships linked to a high level of informality in governance processes. The pivotal role of a general manager (or board member) in this communication process through bridging an accountability gap by linking the volunteers (not-for-profit culture with utility derived from the sport) with the legal requirements and expectations (derived from the for-profit culture with a control and external reporting focus) enables the sporting organisation to remain autonomous. It is able to continue to fulfil its legal requirements and retain its incorporated status while being able to continue to run the sport at its particular level of the organisation without interference from higher levels of the organisation. This emerging theory explained how and why the sporting organisations interviewed in this research governed their sport, and identified that with the reliance on volunteers there should be explicit acknowledgement of their role within any theory development along with an understanding of the difference in the concept of accountability and what that entails. Volunteers and their…

▼ Management of Tasmania‟s native and introduced wildlife on private land is a contentious issue for landowners, animal welfare groups and the Tasmanian State Government. In 2005 the use of the poison 1080 (sodium monofluoroacetate) to kill wildlife was banned from use on public lands and the State Government has planned to cease all use by 2015. Many farmers believe that the impact of grazing by native wildlife on pastures is significant and results in a considerable financial impost. However, only limited research has been undertaken to quantify this wildlife grazing impact. Grazing and browsing wildlife include Forester kangaroo (Macropus giganteus tasmaniensis), Bennett‟s wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus), Tasmanian pademelon (Thylogale billardierii), brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) and fallow deer (Dama dama). Results of a grazing impact study in the Midlands region of Tasmania found that in the year 2009 alone, average pasture loss for the area 0-800 m from the native vegetation edge was 1,730 kg dry matter (DM)/ha. These losses of pasture decreased with increasing distance from native vegetation and varied between 0-100% depending on season and distance from native vegetation. Periodic harvests of pasture plots and collection of wildlife faecal pellets indicated shifts in grazing behaviour with reference to seasonal pasture feed availability. Pasture losses and faecal collections were lowest during spring 2009, while pasture losses were greatest during winter 2008, matching highest and lowest pasture growth rates over the experimental period. Production of perennial and annual grasses was greater in protected plots (areas protected by grazing exclusion cages) than exposed plots (not protected by cages), while the amount of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum) increased in 2009 in exposed plots possibly due to reduced competition from grasses. Composition of annual grasses was greater in enclosed plots in close proximity to the native vegetation and the amount of bare ground was greater in exposed plots. Exclusion of grazing for 2 years had no significant (P>0.05) effect on soil health parameters such as: ammonium nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen and organic carbon levels, pH, electrical conductivity, and root biomass. Microbial analysis also indicated no significant (P>0.05) effect on bacterial biomass, fungal biomass, total active microbial biomass, and fungal/bacterial ratio. These results indicated that either 2 years may not have been a long enough trial period to detect changes in soil health, or that the size of exclosure treatments may have been too small to prevent buffering influence from outside the exclosure. A study investigating the influence of grazing damage during pasture establishment found that wildlife grazing had a significant (P<0.05) effect on production of all 4 pasture types sown. Pasture types containing phalaris (Phalaris aquatica) produced the highest DM and had greater ground cover than pasture types based mainly on ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and cocksfoot…

▼ Container lines have been the main transport mode linking most markets engaged in global trade. To cater for the growing customer demands, container lines have adopted various approaches such as forming strategic co-operations to achieve rapid growth and providing efficient services through the integration of resources. The spectrum of strategic co-operations among container lines varies from loose-knitted slot charters, liner conferences, shipping alliances, joint services and consortia, through to mergers and acquisitions (M&As). However, these forms of strategic co-operations have not always been able to achieve the intended synergetic growth resulting from the integration of resources. The Resource Based View (RBV) suggests that integrating intangible resources, which are valuable, rare, inimitable and non-substitutable (VRIN), can make a significant contribution to the performance of post strategic co-operations. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the contribution of intangible resources to the post strategic co-operation success of container lines. Therefore, the thesis focuses on the following primary research question (PRQ): PRQ: Does the integration of intangible resources contribute to the post strategic co-operation success of container lines? To further examine PRQ two subsidiary research questions (SRQ1 and SRQ2) are explored. SRQ1: Which intangible resources provide the greatest contribution to the market success of container lines? SRQ2: Do container lines adopt processes to ensure the successful integration of intangible resources when strategic co-operations are being developed? The design used for this study is a two stage methodology enabling both quantative and qualitative research approaches. The two stage approach helps to identify firstly the senior managers‟ view of the importance of intangible resources and secondly how intangible resources are integrated during strategic co-operations among container lines. The sample consists of 84 senior managers (with a response rate of 51 per cent and thus 47 usable questionnaires) attached to regional offices of leading global container lines and their agents in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. The first stage was conducted via an exploratory mail survey with the objective of investigating senior managers‟ understanding of intangible resources, importantly, the findings of stage one enabled more probing questions to be developed and identified suitable respondents for the second stage of the research. Due to the need for more qualitative responses, stage two was conducted as in-person interviews, with a greater, focus on (i) the extent that intangible resources were being integrated, (ii) the processes adopted to integrate intangible resources, and (iii) the organisation and economic performance of container lines during post-strategic co-operation. The in-depth in-person interviews achieved 100 per cent response rate with participation of 36 senior managers. The findings of stage one, which addressed SRQ1, revealed that respondents…

▼ Zinc (Zn) plays an essential role in metabolic and structural functions for marine phytoplankton, being required in nearly 300 enzymes and proteins including carbonic anhydrase and alkaline phosphatase. The concentration of total dissolved Zn in the open-ocean is typically in the nanomolar (0.1-10 nmol L(^-1)) range, 98 % of which is complexed by natural strong organic ligands. In January and February 2010, the Primary productivity Induced by Iron and Nitrogen in the Tasman Sea (PINTS) cruise covered a north to south transect from the oligotropic Tasman Sea to the productive waters of the subantarctic Southern Ocean. For this thesis, samples for chemical analyses and laboratory- based cultures were collected to assess the relationship between phytoplankton growth and zinc bioavailability and speciation in this region. The pennate diatom (Nitzschia) (closterium) and the coccolithophorid (Emiliania) (huxleyi) were cultured at low free Zn concentrations ([Zn(²⁺)] = 1.5 x 10(^-12) M and [Zn2+] = 1.5 x 10(^-14) M) to mimic the range of free Zn encountered in marine systems. Both species were able to maintain their photosynthetic activity and growth at the low [Zn(²⁺)] applied. However, while E. huxleyi grew at these low concentrations, (N. closterium) seemed to accelerate its uptake with specific and efficient transporters and access complexed Zn. In the Tasman Sea, total dissolved Zn was observed at 0.02 to 0.19 nmol L(^-1) (at 15 m depth) and 0.02 to 0.11 nmol L(^-1) (at 150 m) along the north-south transect studied, below the range reported for other open-ocean regions. Measurements with Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV) on four selected profiles from the Tasman Sea established the concentrations of labile Zn (0.6 to 500 pmol L(^-1)) and Zn-complexing ligands (0.23 to 4.19 nmol L(^-1)) for the first time in the Tasman Sea. Zn speciation was dominated by complexation to organic ligands (59 to 98%) with the highest percentages in surface. These ligands were closely related to the phytoplankton assemblages found in the studied region (Chlorophytes ~ Haptophytes > Diatoms). The links between chemistry and biology were studied with a simple conceptual ZnPPZZD model. It was parameterised with information gained in the experimental phases of this work, such as the difference of uptake response observed for the two species and range of concentrations measured. The model showed the concentration of ligands and zinc speciation played an important role in the structure of the conceptual phytoplankton assemblages. Further work is required to assess if ligands are produced by the organisms to enhance their uptake or if the chemistry of Zn strongly influences the community for a specific region.

▼ Portable and field deployable analytical instruments are attractive in many fields, including medical diagnostics where point-of-care and on-site diagnostics systems capable of providing rapid quantitative results have the potential to improve the productivity and quality of medical care. A major limitation and impediment to the usage of portable and field deployable microfluidic chip based analytical instruments in solving real world analytical problems has been the scarcity of commercially available portable or field deployable platforms, which are fully flexible for research. The bench-top analytical instrument , the Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 used in this research is a microfluidic chip-based platform with fluorescence detection system, available on the market since 1999. Originally, this instrument was capable of electrophoretic analysis of deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) and ribonucleic acids (RNA), with user-tailored application solutions including chips, reagents and pre-developed methods. More applications, specifically electrophoretic analysis of proteins and flow cytometry, were introduced later. The commercial success of this instrument was achieved thanks to an on-a-chip platform which enables fast analysis (separation time around a minute or even less) with minimal sample consumption (microlitres). In this research we built on our long-standing research collaboration with Agilent Technologies, who provided us with access to the Bioanalyzer ‘script editor’ so that we could develop and implement our own methods, applicable in principle for any chip and analysis. Chapter 1 offers an introductory overview of miniaturised analysis followed by a comprehensive overview focused on ITP on a microfluidic chip techniques. Chapter 2 gives a brief overview of commercially available microfluidic chip based analytical platforms. This is followed by the first experiments aimed at developing a new application for the commercially available microfluidic chip based electrophoretic system, the Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100. The Bioanalyzer was used in this work as fully flexible research tool, which was made possible by using an open software platform in assay developer mode. The new application was investigated for the CE separation of 8-aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid (APTS) fluorescently labelled oligosaccharides. Their separation was successfully implemented with the analysis completed using the commercially available Agilent DNA chip in under a minute, representing an improvement in the speed of analysis compared to CE by more than an order of magnitude. This result demonstrates that the commercial chips, specifically DNA chips, and the Bioanalyzer, have the capacity for a wider spectrum of applications. To compare with classical CE, the resulting electropherograms were obtained faster but the final resolution was poorer, a result that initiated further investigations aimed at exploring different electrophoretic methods. In Chapter 3, isotachophoresis of carboxylic acids on a DNA chip with electrokinetic injection of a…

▼ Climate change and the concomitant need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through living sustainably is possibly the most significant issue of our time. Sustainable built environments have the potential to make a significant contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The success of sustainable architecture relies on both technology and its acceptance by building occupants. Whilst most research on sustainable architecture has focussed on technology, there has been less research on occupant experience of sustainable buildings. This research addresses this gap by investigating occupant experience of sustainable architecture through a case study and a review of literature relating to the phenomenological experience of architecture. The case study is the School of Architecture and Design at the University of Tasmania. The research design is based on mixed methodology, using questionnaire surveys to provide extensive quantitative data which is investigated more intensively through the qualitative research methods of interviews and focus groups. The results show strong dissatisfaction with most of the specific variables of comfort (temperature, air, noise, lighting, personal control), satisfaction with overall comfort, health and productivity and strong satisfaction with overall design aspects. This finding is consistent with the literature on comfort and occupant experience of green buildings. It appears that occupants in the case study building are adapting to the discomfort they experience, with the satisfaction they express for overall comfort and the building overall indicating tolerance and forgiveness of this discomfort. The analysis and discussion is structured thematically around the themes of comfort, delight and forgiveness, as these arose as the main issues from the data and have significance for the development of sustainable architecture. The internal environments of sustainable buildings are often more variable, less predictable and have a greater temperature range than air conditioned buildings, due to the use of passive technologies for heating, cooling and ventilation which more closely follow the external climate. Forgiveness of these less‐than‐static conditions is a positive step in the acceptance of sustainable architecture and can bring the benefit of thermal delight. The literature indicates that good design which encourages delight can have a positive effect on occupant well‐being which in turn may facilitate forgiveness. A phenomenological understanding of occupant experience supports the concept of comfort as a multi‐dimensional relationship between occupant and building. For centuries architects have been guided by the Vitruvian triad of Firmness, Commodity and Delight in their pursuit of architectural excellence. I propose that this is augmented by the triad of Forgiveness, Comfort and Delight to guide architects towards creating sustainable architecture for the twenty first century.

▼ Humanitarian organisations operate in very complex and dynamic environments. In such environments, supply chain agility has been repeatedly recognised as an essential requirement. Agility enables humanitarians to swiftly respond to changes and disruptions encountered along the disaster relief supply chains. As humanitarian organisations are involved in multiple operations and, therefore, in multiple ad hoc supply chains, agility also enables them to move from one operational environment to another in an effective manner. The purpose of this research is to increase and deepen the understanding of the concept of agility in humanitarian logistics. In particular, this study aims to demonstrate (1) that agility is a built-in characteristic of humanitarian organisations that transcends the operational, technical and functional levels, and (2) that it is required in contexts other than emergency responses. In other words, this study not only investigates the strategic antecedents of agility in humanitarian logistics, but also considers the applicability of agility to humanitarian protracted operations (longer-term and regular operations). In doing so, this research addresses critical limitations of the current humanitarian logistics literature on agility which is firmly rooted in operational level considerations and primarily associates agility with emergency disaster relief. Systems theory and the dynamic capabilities model were used and, in parallel, the literature on agility in a business context was reviewed. Through this analysis, four strategic level agility capabilities were identified: (1) being purposeful, (2) being action-focused, (3) being collaborative, and (4) being learning-oriented. By undertaking a qualitative content analysis of 29 face-to-face interviews with key informants, the relevance of these capabilities to the humanitarian context was confirmed. An emergent relationship between the four capabilities and operational agility, i.e. the ability of humanitarian organisations to conduct responsive and flexible logistics operations, was also identified. Subsequently, the strength of this relationship was quantified by using structural equation modelling to conduct an analysis of survey data. This demonstrated that the above-mentioned capabilities form an integrated whole and that, collectively, they account for 52% of the variance in operational agility. Therefore, limiting supply chain agility to the operational level is suboptimal, i.e. agility requires high-level leadership inputs as well as a system-wide and aligned approach. In addition, the logistics and supply chain environment of humanitarian protracted operations was investigated by collecting and analysing qualitative and quantitative data on the characteristics of such operations, the risks and uncertainties most frequently encountered, their impact, and the ways that field logisticians managedisruptions. Through this analysis, it was demonstrated that unpredictability and disruptions exist in the logistics environment of protracted…

▼ The Ethiopian government has been crafting successive development policy frameworks to end poverty since the overthrow of the military rule and establishment of the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) in 1991. These include Sustainable Development and Poverty Reduction Programme (SDPRP)- 2002/03-2004/05, Plan for Accelerated and Sustainable Development to End Poverty (PASDEP)- 2005/06-2009/10, and the first (2010/11-2014/15) and the second (2015/16-2019/20) Growth and Transformation Plans (GTP1 and GTP2). SDPRP, in its key sectoral development policies and strategies, underlined the need to exploit the benefits of linking agriculture and manufacturing for economic development. Subsequently, PASDEP adopted the need to strengthen rural-urban linkages as one of the key pillars of development and aimed to enable the linkages for a strong local/regional economic development. This study sought to examine the nature and drivers of local economic development (LED) by analysing the linkages between Nekemte Town and its hinterlands in Guto Gidda district of Oromia region in Ethiopia using an ethnographic case study research method. The literature review focused on LED in the context of the rural-urban interface including an analysis of the aims of LED, the processes of LED, and the enablers of LED. The study used field data related to maize (Zea mays) and niger seed (Guizotia abyssinica) value chains to empirically examine whether or not the Ethiopian government development policy positions have translated into an enabling environment for stronger rural-urban linkages. The data were gathered mainly through in-depth interviews with LED actors including farmers, traders, small-scale manufacturers, and local authorities both in Nekemte and its hinterlands. A total of 51 interviews (30 farmers, nine traders, ten small-scale manufacturers and two agricultural extension workers) were conducted. The audio records were transcribed and uploaded into Nvivo for categorisation into themes. Publicly available secondary data including reports from the district administration, municipal administration, and agricultural office were included to support the primary data. An ethnographic approach was used to gain an understanding of local actors’ perspectives on LED and to collect in-depth data on the economic activities of those involved in the production, processing and marketing of the two commodities. The research applied multiple analytical lenses to analyse the field data. Netchain analysis was employed to analyse the flow of resources between Nekemte and its hinterlands, and the implications of the linkages for LED. The study applied institutional analysis (IA) to analyse the influences of local institutions on LED. The results of this study indicate that the attempt of the Ethiopian government to strengthen rural-urban linkages remained on paper as the nature of local economies observed on the ground promote dichotomy between urban and rural areas with little or no coordinated development planning between the two.…

▼ This thesis explores Capability in Registered Nurses undertaking a Postgraduate Certificate in Neonatal Intensive Care (PG Cert NIC) in Australia. It contextualises Capability of the PG Cert NIC student and identifies how expert neonatal nurses recognise Capability in Neonatal Intensive Care clinical practice. In the 1990s, nursing regulatory authorities embraced the clinical competence framework to ensure that nurses graduating from higher education institutions (HEI) had achieved the minimum standards for safe clinical practice. In order to measure achievement of these minimum standards, assessment of clinical practice was simplified. Essentially reduced to a tick box of tasks or skills (competencies) to achieve proficiency, and assessing performance of such competencies in the workplace. As a means of evaluating nurses in practice, this is problematic. The literature suggests competency-based evaluation tools present a reductionist approach and being simplistic and prescriptive, are limited to assessing the acquisition of knowledge and skills, and fail to empower people to reach their full potential. Contemporary discourse in higher education proposes 21st Century Graduates will be entering a dynamic workforce that requires more that minimum performance standards and a skill set beyond competency. The nursing profession has long recognised that good clinical practice is more than just meeting minimum performance standards. A broader concept that of Capability, includes competence but is more forward looking, recognising potential. Although there is some research into Capability in nursing, there is nothing specific to nurses in Neonatal Intensive Care. This research clarifies Capability in the neonatal context and identifies how Capability is recognised in students undertaking the PG Cert NIC in Australia. The study took place between March 2013 and January 2017. It used grounded theory (GT) with a mixed method approach to explore the concept of Capability within the context of the PG Cert NIC. It mapped, in three stages, the developing concept of Capability in the PG Cert NIC student, to clarify what is actually being appraised. Stage 1 of this study used Nominal Group Technique (NGT) to obtain a consensus among the neonatal nurse educators in Australia on the discipline specific Graduate Attributes for neonatal nurses. Stage 2 used eDelphi, to achieve a consensus from a panel of expert Neonatal Intensive Care nurses, on the Capability Requisites for students enrolled in the PG Cert NIC. Stage 3 used semi-structured interviews with expert practicing neonatal nurses, to determine the evidence the PG Cert NIC student presents which is taken to indicate Capability in clinical practice. Prior to this study, Capability in the PG Cert NIC nurse had not been explored. A clear finding from this research confirmed that Capability in the PG Cert NIC nursing students includes and moves beyond competence. It established that the mentors of students undertaking the PG Cert NIC, appraise Capability in clinical practice,…

▼ Over the years, there has been a significant increase in both size and complexity of processes in marine and offshore operations. One example of maritime operations is that of large-scale Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) processing facilities. Accidents in such facilities can be very complex and would be best characterised by evolving scenarios. This thesis reports on the development of a new methodology to incorporate evolving scenarios in a single model and predicts the likelihood of an accident. The methodology comprises; (a) evolving scenario identification, (b) accident consequence framework development, (c) accident scenario likelihood estimation, and (d) ranking of the scenarios. Resulting events in the present work are modelled using a Bayesian Network (BN) approach, which represents accident scenarios as cause-consequences networks. The methodology developed in this thesis is compared with case studies of ammonia and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) from chemical and offshore process facility, respectively. The proposed method can differentiate the consequence of specific events and predict probabilities for such events along with continual updating of the consequence probabilities of fire and explosion scenarios being taken into account. The developed methodology can be used to envisage evolving scenarios that occur in the offshore oil and gas processing industry. However, with further modification, it can be applied to different sections of marine industry to predict the likelihood of such accidents. Maritime transportation poses risks regarding possible accidents resulting in damage to vessels, crew members and to the ecosystem. The safe navigation of ships, especially in Arctic waters, is a growing concern to maritime authorities. This study proposes a new risk model to investigate the possibility of marine accidents such as collision, foundering and grounding. The model is developed using the BN. The proposed risk model has considered different operational and environmental factors that affect shipping operations. The application of the model is demonstrated through a case study of an oil-tanker navigating the Northern Sea Route (NSR). By running uncertainty and sensitivity analyses of the model, a significant change in the likelihood of the occurrence of accidental events is identified. The model suggests ice effect as a dominant factor in accident causation. The case study illustrates the priority of the model in investigating the operational risk of accidents. The developed methodology can be used to investigate the possibility of preventing and mitigating ship accidents in harsh and cold environments. Collision avoidance in narrow channel is critical if no early warning is provided. In this thesis, a dynamic risk management system is proposed for the marine vessel so that it can be useful by warning the operator of a vessel of a potential collision threat while travelling along narrow trafficway. This model estimates the level of risk by taking into consideration vessel kinematics, different…

▼ Ventilated cavity flow over a wall mounted fence is experimentally investigated in a cavitation tunnel. The flow over a 2-D fence, attached to the tunnel test section ceiling, is examined for a range of free-stream conditions. The dependence of cavity topology, cavitation number, upstream wall pressure distribution and drag on several parameters, including ventilation rate, fence height based Froude number (Fr), vapour pressure based cavitation number (σv ) and degree of fence immersion in the oncoming wall boundary layer, is investigated. Three different flow regimes are identified throughout the range of cavitation numbers for a particular set of free-stream conditions: shear layer cavitation, fully developed cavity and ‘blocked’ flow. The cavity exhibits a typical re-entrant jet closure and the re-entrant jet intensity is found to be a function of Fr. The high intensity re-entrant jet, present at high Fr, leads to an increase in drag. Drag decreases significantly with an increase in fence immersion in the oncoming boundary layer. Complementary measurements for a naturally cavitating flow are obtained for comparison. A more detailed examination of the topology and unsteady behaviour of ventilated and natural cavity flows over a 2-D wall-mounted fence was undertaken for fixed length cavities with varying free-stream velocity using high-speed and still imaging, X-ray densitometry and dynamic surface pressure measurements in two experimental facilities. Two main unsteady features are observed, the irregular small-scale shedding of structures at the cavity closure and a larger-scale re-entrant jet oscillation. Small-scale cavity break-up was associated with a high-frequency broad-band peak in the wall pressure spectra, found to be governed by the overlying turbulent boundary layer characteristics, similar to observations from single-phase flow over a forward-facing step. A low-frequency peak reflecting the oscillations in size of re-entrant jet, analogous to the ‘flapping’ motion in single-phase flow, was found to be modulated by gravity effects (i.e. a Froude number dependency). Likewise, a significant change in cavity behaviour was observed as the flow underwent transition analogous to the transition from sub- to super- critical regime in open-channel flow. A companion numerical study is undertaken to provide additional insight into particular flow features such as the separated flow region upstream of the fence and to assess the influence of blockage. An implicit unsteady compressible solver is used with a RANS k − ω SST turbulence model and VOF approach to capture the cavity interface. The numerical results are found to compare reasonably with the experimental data, additionally showing a significant influence of blockage on the studied flow. Along with the 2-D fence, a 3-D wall mounted fence, spanning nominally a quarter of the tunnel test section, is investigated. The impact that 3-D effects have on the cavity topology and the relations between the parameters characterizing the flow is observed. The most…

▼ `Background:` Early on I identified that reticular basement membrane (Rbm) in current smokers with COPD was highly fragmented, with cracks termed “clefts” containing cells. This looked like the described hallmark of EMT (epithelial mesenchymal transition). I followed this preliminary observation with a comprehensive cross-sectional study in which I hypothesized that the airway epithelium is activated in smokers, and that this may promote EMT, but that this will be especially active in COPD. As a part of my thesis, I also investigated the expression and activity of the anti-inflammatory enzyme HDAC2 (histone deacetylase 2) which is reported to be reduced in COPD lungs and may account for associated pulmonary inflammation. I hypothesised that the current literature is correct in stating that HDAC2 is down-regulated in COPD airways and also that these reduced HDAC2 levels are normalised by aggressive inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy and smoking cessation in patients with COPD. (Methods) (and) (results:) Endobronchial biopsies (ebb) from current smokers with COPD (COPD-CS) and ex-smokers with COPD (COPD-ES), smokers with normal lung function (NS) and never-smoking controls (NC) stained for markers of EMT, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), fibroblast protein (S100A4), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), vimentin and cytokeratins. To confirm the extent of suppressed HDAC2 ebb were immuno-stained for HDAC2. In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, I assessed the effects of ICS on Rbm fragmentation and HDAC2. Compared to NC, there was significant fragmentation of the Rbm in COPD-CS, COPD-ES and NS groups. COPD-CS, NS and COPD-ES demonstrated increases in staining for: basal epithelial S100A4, epithelial EGFR and MMP-9 and S100A4 for cells in Rbm ``clefts`` compared to NC. Dual staining revealed that vimentin (a mesenchymal marker) co-stained with cytokeratin (an epithelial marker). ICS normalised Rbm fragmentation. Compared to NC there was significant increase in HDAC2 positive cells in NS in the lamina propria (LP) but a decrease in COPD-CS. However, this latter abnormality was due to a reduction in total LP cells and not % cell HDAC2 staining. There were significantly more HDAC2 positive cells in COPD-ES compared to COPD-CS, but again due to an increase in total cell numbers. ICS made no difference to HDAC2 staining. `Conclusions:` This is the first description of likely EMT in smoking and COPD. ICS reversed Rbm fragmentation. HDAC2 expression was reduced in smokers but confounded by changes in cellularity. Quitting does seem to have a real effect on upregulating HDAC2, but it is not affected by ICS.

▼ `Introduction:` Smoking-related COPD is a worldwide health problem. Airway remodelling is defined as structural changes occurring in chronic inflammatory diseases of the airways. Our knowledge about airway remodelling in COPD is very limited. My preliminary observational study of bronchial biopsies (BB) from COPD subjects revealed reticular basement membrane (Rbm) fragmentation and vascular changes. I hypothesised that these changes are specific for COPD and are related to the angiogenic activity of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß). I also aimed to study the effects of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on these airway changes. `Methods:` A cross-sectional study compared BB from current smokers with COPD (SCOPD), ex-smokers with COPD (ES-COPD), current smokers with normal lung function (S-N) and healthy nonsmoking (H-N) subjects. BB were stained with anti-Collagen IV, anti-VEGF and anti-TGF- ß antibodies. Rbm fragmentation and vessels in the Rbm and lamina propria (LP) were measured. Anti-Factor VIII antibody was compared with anti-Collagen IV antibody in detecting vessels. Then a double-blind, randomized and placebo controlled study assessed the effects of ICS on airway remodeling, VEGF and TGF- ß in COPD. (Results:) Airway remodelling changes were also detectable in S-N. The Rbm was fragmented. The length of splits was significantly greater in both COPD groups and in S-N than controls (p<0.02). The Rbm was hypervascular and the LP hypovascular in current smokers compared with controls (p<0.05). Vessels stained for VEGF and TGF-ß were increased in the Rbm of both COPD groups and S-N (p<0.05). Factor VIII antibody confirmed my finding of hypovascularity of the LP in S-COPD. ICS reversed Rbm splitting but did not have any effect on vessel remodelling and angiogenic activities. `Discussion:` My studies revealed novel aspects of Rbm and vascular remodelling in BB from COPD subjects and S-N and for the first time showed that ICS are effective on Rbm changes in COPD. Rbm fragmentation, we think, is probably a consequence of the effects of proteolytic enzymes on the Rbm due to activation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by smoking. This is under more investigation in our group. My study could not explain the mechanisms to vessel changes in current smokers. Further studies to examine the role of other angiogenic/antiangiogenic factors are now needed. Absence of vascular changes in ES-COPD subjects may imply that vascular remodelling is reversible with smoking cessation, but to test this we need a longitudinal smoking cessation study.

▼ The amount of iceberg water that annually dissolves into the sea corresponds to a substantial part of the world’s annual consumption of freshwater. The Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT) has 30 % of the icebergs of the world. This freshwater resource melts into the Southern Ocean. If harvested, it will have a positive effect on terrestrial ecosystems and the water market. This renewable freshwater resource will need a sustainable transportation system. The south western corner of Australia is drought prone and freshwater availability is a limiting factor. Western Australia (WA) and Perth are facing water problems. The demand and requirement for water is increasing. Australian freshwater supplies could be increased using this type of freshwater resource with appropriate technology. The question of whether icebergs from Antarctica could be transported to help solve this water shortage was studied in the 1970s and given up later because of economic and environmental obstacles. The questions need to be examined as to what are the most appropriate transportation techniques, how marine ecosystems could be protected and if a profitable system of transportation can be designed. The aims and objectives of this research are to study the geographical transportation conditions and to determine the feasibility of an iceberg transportation system from the AAT to WA. It will propose future iceberg transportation research. I studied and analysed iceberg properties, iceberg detection, sea transportation systems and techniques, environmental issues and the protection of marine ecosystems, and legal considerations related to the transportation of iceberg freshwater and the profitability of a specific iceberg water transportation system between the AAT and WA. My work provided a paradigmatic frame for iceberg transportation research. It is an original contribution to the water transportation discipline. Within this frame, a new design for an iceberg transportation system was proposed. Practical and feasible technical parameters of the iceberg transportation system were developed. The transportation system is based on three main steps: 1. belting and wrapping of the iceberg in-situ with a bag and a collar; 2. transportation of this system into warmer areas and the collection of the melted water of the iceberg in the collar and specific fresh waterbags, and 3. waterbag transportation from Antarctica to Australia using sustainable techniques of current drifting and kite towing. Given the increasing challenges for water in south WA this iceberg transportation system, could represent a viable long term source of freshwater. This iceberg transportation system proposal is an innovation which may be used by the Australian Government or private companies in further research to provide solutions for the freshwater crisis.

▼ This thesis investigates the identity of fungi causing root rot in Eucalyptus pellita plantations in Indonesia. It explores the question of how to detect root-rot infected E. pellita trees from their crown symptoms and whether root-rot disease can be detected at an early stage in the cycle of disease development. This study described and identified the fungi associated with root-rot disease in E. pellita, putatively caused by a species of Phellinus. Macro- and microscopic observations and DNA analysis were used to describe sporocarp morphology and the fungal cultures growing from the symptomatic root samples. Results showed that at the 12 sites investigated, and contrary to expectations, species of Phellinus are less commonly associated with root-rot disease than are Ganoderma philippii and G. mastosporum. There were several potential fungal agents of root rot present at any one site; the sporocarp types observed and the external appearance of the roots were not consistently good indicators of the active pathogen as isolated from roots. A visual assessment method to assess the crown condition of trees in plantations of E. pellita was developed. Eight aboveground variables were used as indicators to classify the E. pellita crowns into five different classes. Repeatability, reproducibility and reliability of this method were examined by conducting repeated surveys. Analysis of the data showed that the crown variables adequately discriminated between crown-condition classes when they were assessed by experienced assessors. However, in repeated surveys which were conducted by less experienced assessors, the crown variables did not sufficiently discriminate between crown-condition classes. Applicability of the method to indicate root-rot incidence and severity at individual-tree level was tested during the first survey. An aboveground assessment of crown-condition using the methodology developed does indicate, at the plot level, the incidence and severity of root rot. At the tree level, the aboveground variables were not significantly correlated with root-rot incidence and severity, as indicated by Spearman correlation (a = 0.05). There was an approximate probability of one out of two that poor crown health was associated with visible signs and symptoms on the roots exposed around the tree. Probability of these indicators for estimating root-rot incidence and severity in an individual tree is 61.4% and 41.6%, respectively. A pathosystem model of Eucalyptus nitens trees artificially inoculated with Armillaria luteobubalina was set up to investigate early physiological responses associated with root-rot infection. Trees were inoculated with two different isolates of A. luteobubalina. Root systems were either wounded or left intact before inoculation. Three photosynthetic parameters, i.e. photosystem II yield ((F_v)/(F_m)), chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rate (`A_max`) were assessed during six-months of observation. Photosystem II yield was the most sensitive to root-rot infection. A significant difference…

▼ The thesis examines the linkages between changes in rural community relationships with place and the deployment of digital technologies. Though these technologies are becoming pervasive, ubiquitous and powerful within both formal and informal learning processes, little monitoring and evaluation of how the rapidly emerging 'digital future' will manifest within rural communities is occurring. The unprecedented transformative power of digital technologies is widely expected to enhance rural quality of life and deliver sustainable, innovative and democratic policy outcomes for rural regions. Analysis of empirical data gathered from interviewees in two similar rural regions in Tasmania (Australia) and Norway suggests that these assumptions may be ill-founded and that the development of individual needs and community assets may be negatively shaped by digital technologies and, thus, contrary to the highly optimistic expectation of positive outcomes that prevails. There is also uncertainty about the development of the critical, cooperative and creative capacities that are required by rural communities if they are to claim ownership of the future. Using elements of qualitative, case study and grounded theory methodologies, concerns raised by interview respondents are explored. Similar concerns exist in both study regions. These indicate a decline in shared responsibility for place assets, with digital technologies complicit in the spatial, temporal, informational and communicative stresses that are identified. The findings are triangulated through analysis of similar trends in a wider, not specifically rural, context. As digital technologies transform relationships with geographical place, the capacity of rural communities to recognise, understand and act on these impacts is only weakly promoted within formal and informal learning structures. It is argued that the loss of agency over rapid change processes affecting rural communities and their assets will intensify without improved competencies and conditions for decisionmaking about 'the digital future'. With a new generation of digital technologies rapidly emerging, it is imperative that the loss of agency within rural communities be rectified.

▼ Dispositions involve an apparent conditionality, where this conditionality somehow relates behaviors with dispositional properties. That is, when describing dispositions, it is common to use ‘if, then’ type constructs. These conditional expressions usually involve the manifestation of a behavior in response to an associated stimulus. These conditional and behavioral features, while seemingly indispensable to our understanding of dispositionality have proven difficult to account for. There are well known objections to extant analyses of dispositions in terms of conditionals. What’s more, any account of dispositions appealing to counterfactuals is subject to familiar objections to counterfactual conditionals and their associated metaphysical costs. The metaphysical costs associated with analyses of dispositions in terms of counterfactual conditionals are particularly unattractive to those who endorse a certain strong kind of positivist empiricism. In this thesis I explore the possibility of giving an account of dispositions in terms of Dorothy Edgington’s (1986) suppositionals, rather than in terms of standard material and counterfactual conditionals which are usually involved in conditional analyses of dispositions. The result is an account that captures the apparent conditionality of dispositions and their behaviors while avoiding both the standard counterexamples to these existing analyses and their associated metaphysical costs. As such, this suppositional account of dispositions may be of interest to those who endorse a certain strong kind of positivist empiricism. The structure of the thesis is as follows: In Chapter 2, I present a selective review of the relevant literature. I outline the way in which dispositions are related to, or perhaps imply, behaviors, and describe the origin of attempts at capturing this relationship in terms of conditionals. I present this overview in a way that suggests there is an interesting analogy between attempts at understanding the conditionality of dispositions in terms of observable behaviors and behaviorist approach to mental states. I begin with Rudolf Carnap’s (1936, 1956) early attempts at accounting for dispositions in observational, extensional terms and argue that while there is something obviously correct about understanding dispositions in terms of observable behaviors, this straightforward, empirically robust behaviorist approach to dispositions generates a number of serious problems, both analytic and epistemic. In Chapter 3, I set out the standard modes in which evidence of observable behavior is taken to motivate conditional accounts of dispositions. I outline the now commonly discussed Simple Conditional Analysis of dispositions; a framework that analyses dispositionality in terms of material and counterfactual conditionals. I then discuss some of the standard counterexamples to that analysis, and related analyses, in order to motivate a rejection of, or at very least a healthy suspicion of, the Simple Conditional Analysis, its variants and…

▼ This research was motivated by problems in network security, where an attacker often deliberately changes their identifying information and behaviour in order to camouflage their malicious behaviour. Addressing this problem has resulted in a new adaption to the unsupervised machine learning technique COBWEB. In machine learning and data mining the aim is to extract patterns from data in order to discover a meaning underlying the processes that are taking place. In most cases, each object is observed once, and then the patterns that have been extracted can be used to classify newly-observed objects. Conceptual clustering aims to do this in such a way that the patterns that are learned are human readable. Concept drift algorithms allow concepts to change over time, although most undertake this in a supervised manner, which presents a challenge when looking for novel classes. This research focuses on the classification of objects that change over time across multiple observations. The objects may change their own characteristics (labelled as object drift in this research) or maintain the same characteristics, but change their identifier. In addition to this, it is also possible for the concept that describes a group of objects to itself change (known as concept drift). In addition to the possible application within the security domain, the method was generalised and tested across a range of machine learning and data mining domains. In the process it was shown that the method was robust in the presence of concept drift, which occurs when a group of objects that define a given concept change their characteristics, resulting in the definition of that concept having changed over time. The ideas of concept drift and object drift are not only relevant within the computer security field, but can be of significance in any knowledge domain. Therefore, any method presented to address this learning problem should be generalised enough to be applicable in many application areas. The new method, entitled DynamicWEB, extends the existing conceptual clustering method COBWEB to allow for profiles to be added and removed from the concept hierarchy. An index structure was implemented using an AVL tree to facilitate fast scalable searching of the knowledge structure. As the target objects change over time the profiles of each target are updated within the structure, maintaining an up-to-date representation of the domain. The profiles contain derived attributes, which are formed across multiple observations of each object, with the aim of retaining knowledge of how the object has changed over time. As well as preserving context over time, Dynamic Web uses multiple trees and so, transforms the learner into an ensemble classifier. In addition to testing the method on the security and network based datasets, a number of other datasets are also examined. A new dataset (a modified version of Quinlan’s weather dataset) is presented in order to illustrate how Dynamic Web operates in the presence of object drift. The method is also tested on…
