Gender-based undervaluation and the equal remuneration powers of Fair Work...
We investigate gender-based wage undervaluation in light of Fair Work Australia's major recent decision for social and community service workers. Using regression methods, we demonstrate that wages for...
View ArticleInfluence of pH on mechanical relaxations in high solids LM-pectin preparations
The influence of pH on the mechanical relaxation of LM-pectin in the presence of co-solute has been investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry, ζ-potential measurements and small...
View ArticleEffect of sodium chloride on the glass transition of condensed starch systems
The present investigation deals with the structural properties of condensed potato starch-sodium chloride systems undergoing a thermally induced glass transition. Sample preparation included hot...
View ArticleThe effect of variation in the transition hysteresis width and gradient in...
Glazing based on thermochromic thin films has been noted to potentially reduce the energy demand in buildings by modulating the solar heat gain depending on the coating temperature. Such "intelligent"...

A family of 21 polyphenolic compounds consisting of those found naturally in danshen and their analogues were synthesized and subsequently screened for their anti-amyloidogenic activity against the...
View ArticleExempting environmental protection boycotts from competition laws: Should...
Secondary boycotts and boycotts affecting international trade are generally illegal in Australia, but for the past two decades boycott conduct has been permissible if it is for the dominant purpose of...
View ArticlePrenatal exposure to dexamethasone in the mouse alters cardiac growth...
Exposure to synthetic glucocorticoids during development can result in later cardiovascular and renal disease in sheep and rats. Although prenatal glucocorticoid exposure is associated with impaired...
View ArticleMeasuring systemic risk using vine-copula
We present an intuitive model of systemic risk to analyse the complex interdependencies between different borrowers. We characterise systemic risk by the way that financial institutions are...
View Article(In Press) Shapley value and other allocation schemes for three-person supply...
A game theoretical approach to modelling different supply chains has become a very active area of research in supply chain management during the last two decades. The models that are currently used...
View ArticleIntegrated frequency comb source based Hilbert transformer for wideband...
We demonstrate a photonic RF Hilbert transformer for broadband microwave in-phase and quadrature-phase generation based on an integrated frequency optical comb, generated using a nonlinear microring...

This paper aims to develop a comprehensive concept map to guide adequate protection and effective management of personal information in the provision of networked services in China through...
View ArticleHigh Q factor chalcogenide ring resonators for cavity-enhanced MIR...
We report the characteristics of high Q factor chalcogenide ring resonators designed for sensing in the mid-infrared (MIR). The resonators consisted of an exposed Ge(11.5)As(24)Se(64.5)core on a...
View ArticleAcademic wage structure by gender: The roles of peer review, performance, and...
We focus on understanding the role of productivity in determining wage structure differences between men and women in academia. The data arise from a pay equity study carried out in a single midwestern...
View ArticleSimultaneous compensation for aberration and axial elongation in...
One of the challenges in laser direct writing with a high numerical-aperture objective is the severe axial focal elongation and the pronounced effect of the refractive-index mismatch aberration. We...
View ArticleTest section streaks originating from imperfections in a zither located...
Defining a link between wind-tunnel settling chamber screens, flow quality and test section boundary-layer spanwise variation is necessary for accurate transition prediction. The aim of this work is to...
View ArticleResults on best theories for metallic and laminated shells including...
This paper deals with Best Theory Diagrams (BTDs) for metallic and laminated shells. The BTD is a curve that is defined over a 2D reference frame in which the horizontal axis indicates the error of a...
