Aerodynamics and static aeroelastic behavior of low-reynolds number...
A modern class of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) uses Deformable Membrane Wings (DMWs), wing comprising rigid or rigidizable structural elements providing stiffness and flexible membranes providing...
View ArticleStress-strain modeling of concrete columns with localized failure: An...
Axially-loaded concrete columns with postpeak strain-softening suffer large inelastic deformation only in a localized failure zone, leading to nonuniform deformation along the height of the columns....
View ArticlePredicting the strength of adhesively bonded joints of variable thickness...
One major characteristic of bonded structures is the highly localised nature of deformation near sharp corners, ply-terminations, and ends of joints where load transfer occurs. This paper presents an...
View ArticleTerritorializing atmospherics: The radiophonics of public space
Scarlatti - A Radio Romance by Paul Carter is a radio work in the neue Hörspiel tradition broadcast in Australia in 1986. This article discusses a project in-progress, the remaking of Scarlatti in a...
View ArticleSolid-liquid phase change modelling of metallic sodium for application in...
Liquid sodium presents a possibility for improved economics in concentrating solar thermal power plants. As the melting temperature of metallic sodium is above ambient temperatures (97.8 C), melting of...
View ArticleWho Is watching whom? Surveillance in Australian social work supervision
Supervisors of social work practice have long grappled with professional and disciplinary expectations and the competing daily organisational demands of a transformed neo-liberal human service...
View ArticleCommunity based adaptation to urban floods and other environmental hazards: a...
Rapid urbanization and increasing population have created environment risks to the urban residents, especially urban poor in developing countries. Community based adaptation is mentioned in national...
View ArticleStress-strain model of FRP confined concrete under cyclic loading
A stress-strain model is proposed for fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) confined concrete subjected to cyclic compression. This model employs an existing monotonic stress-strain relationship as the...
View ArticleBond-test protocol for plate-to-concrete interface involving all mechanisms
Attaching reinforcing material such as steel or fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) plate to the external face of concrete members is a conventional technology used for strengthening concrete structures....
View ArticleGeochemical legacies and the future health of cities: A tale of two...
The past and future of cities are inextricably linked, a linkage that can be seen clearly in the long-term impacts of urban geochemical legacies. As loci of population as well as the means of...
View ArticleA review on lead-free piezoelectric ceramics studies in China
There are a large number of research publications on the hot topic of environmental friendly lead-free piezoelectric materials worldwide in the last decade. The number of researchers and institutions...
View ArticleLocal elastic and thermal behaviors of dielectric breakdown regions in...
Local elastic and thermal behaviors of dielectric breakdown regions in BaTiO3 based multilayer ceramic capacitors were investigated by acoustic and thermal mode scanning probe microscopy. Nanoscale...
View ArticleThe academic developmental learning journey in using a competency graduated...
Aim: Academic skill building is a significant issue for lecturers involved in preparatory health programs. This study examines various university academics from pharmacy schools and their approaches to...
View ArticleDevelopment of contemporary leadership capacity through teamwork in an online...
The Internet has emerged as a mainstream communication medium, resulting in the development of new educational opportunities for teaching and learning. This article describes and evaluates a learning...
View ArticleEthnography, co-design and emergence: Slow activism for sustainable design
In this article I take the novel step of examining how ethnographic understandings of the futures and intervention orientation of indirect forms of activism can inform design practice. To do this I...
View ArticleFactors associated with crashes involving taxi owners and non-owners: A case...
Taxis experience a higher risk of a motor vehicle crash partly because of their much higher levels of exposure on the roads. Although several studies have been conducted to examine the factors...
View ArticleRelations on synthesis, crystal structure and microwave dielectric properties...
Different experimental conditions were applied to investigate the optimum sintering properties of SrZnP2O7 ceramics, and its crystal structure and microstructure were investigated by X-ray powder...
View ArticleBernoulli particle filter with observer control for bearings-only tracking in...
The context is autonomous bearings-only tracking of a single appearing/disappearing target in the presence of detection uncertainty (false and missed detections) with observer control. The optimal...
View ArticleType-II core/shell nanoparticle induced photorefractivity
We demonstrate engineering the photocharge generation efficiency of nanoparticles on the nanometer scale by using a type-II band-gap structure. Compared to bare CdSe cores, the dispersion of type-II...
View ArticleCircular dichroism in biological photonic crystals and cubic chiral nets
Nature provides impressive examples of chiral photonic crystals, with the notable example of the cubic so-called srs network (the label for the chiral degree-three network modeled on SrSi2) or gyroid...
