Making a case for improving practice: what can be learned about high quality...
This chapter draws on data from "cases" written by science teachers (primary and secondary), who participated in a year-long professional development program developed and conducted by science...
View ArticleExploring the nature of teachers' professional knowledge
In recent times, the distinction between traditional Professional Development (PD) and Professional Learning (PL) is becoming increasingly apparent. The shift associated with the intent and the...
View ArticleDeveloping a model for a self-study professional learning community
Although the term self-study may suggest an individual teacher educator studying his or her own practice, most self-studies involve pairs or small groups of teacher educators working together in what...
View ArticlePlayful hacking within research-through-design
Research-through-design has gained popularity in recent years within HCI communities. This has followed with attempts to methodize and formalize design practices within research contexts. These...
View ArticleEnhanced ABS for In-Wheel Electric Vehicles using data fusion
Wheel speed sensor is commonly used in conventional Antilock Braking Systems (ABS) to measure the wheel rotational speed. This paper proposes a novel architecture for In-Wheel Electric Vehicles (EVs)...
View ArticleFeedwater pre-treatment with UV/H2O2 to mitigate the fouling of a ceramic mf...
The effect of UV/H2O2 pre-treatment of feedwater containing algal organic matter (AOM) on the mitigation of the fouling of a ceramic MF membrane was investigated, and compared with coagulation. Both...
View ArticleComparison of filtering algorithms for ground target tracking using...
Space-based radar (SBR) systems have received a great deal of attention, since they can provide all-weather, daynight, and continuous world-wide surveillance and tracking of ground, air, and...
View ArticleBuilding as a learning tool: a student-centred POE approach to the Swanston...
This paper describes the process of developing a student-centred POE project for the educational purpose of undergraduate students, using the experiential learning-by-doing approach to assess building...
View ArticleA real-time monitoring system for improving construction workers' health and...
While previous research have been undertaken to improve construction site safety, from manual handlings, management systems, to human skills, behaviors and culture, it is believed that the next step...
View ArticleA Stack-Based Concatenative Approach to Co-processor Simulation and Code...
As we run to the end of the silicon roadmap, the rapidly escalating cost of design, fabrication and test in future systems-on-chip may justify a re- evaluation of homogeneous reconfigurable mesh ar-...
View ArticleAdvanced light management in solar cells with nanostructures
In this paper, we present our strategies to use innovative photonic approaches to tackling the key challenges in transforming the nanophotonics solar cell concept to a viable high efficiency technology...
View ArticleSuper-resolution imaging based on ground state depletion on nanodiamonds
We report on the super-resolution imaging of single nitrogen vacancy centres based on the ground state depletion method. A resolution of 57.1 nm by 41.2 nm is achieved which holds the potential for...
View ArticleSuper-resolution optical disks beyond 10 terabytes
In this paper, we report on our recent progress on the development of super-resolution optical disk for ultra-high density optical data storage. A novel optical two-beam technique compatible with a...
View ArticleLong lifetime optical recording in gold-nanorod-dispersed organically...
Gold nanorods have been incorporated into organically modified ceramic nanocomposites for long lifetime optical recording. An enhancement in the thermal stability of gold nanorods and hence the...
View ArticlePlasmonic nanovoid combined with front side partially embedded SiO2...
Nanovoid structures are induced into a-Si solar cell by partially embedded nanoparticles inside the device from the top surface. Whole spectrum absorption enhancement is achieved with a measured short...
View ArticleFemtosecond laser fabricated ultra-flat lens in a graphene oxide thin film
A graphene oxide ultra-flat lens is realized based on a new lens concept, which is able to manipulate the phase and amplitude simultaneously of an incident beam. The high resolution three-dimensional...
View ArticleLaser induced carbon nano-structures for planar antenna fabrication at...
Printed antennas have environmental advantages over traditional copper/FR4 structures but the cost of silver remains an issue for mass production. Laser deposition of carbon nanostructures (grapheme)...
View ArticleDirect patterning of C-shape arrays on graphene oxide thin films using direct...
Planar C-shape arrays are fabricated on a high quality graphene oxide thin film using the direct laser printing method. Through optimizing the laser fabrication process, the minimum fabricated feature...
View ArticleBarriers to building and construction waste reduction, reuse and recycling: A...
Building and construction waste materials continue to be a major problem causing significant environmental impact worldwide. Broad university-industry collaborative research was undertaken in 2014 to...
