Purpose - The purpose of this paper is as follows: locate our moral compass framework (Bowden and Green, 2014) within the moral development literature; demonstrate how the framework can be used to...
View ArticleRobust model fitting using higher than minimal subset sampling
Identifying the underlying model in a set of data contaminated by noise and outliers is a fundamental task in computer vision. The cost function associated with such tasks is often highly complex,...

This paper presents a critical review of multi-level climate governance and adaptive capacity building in the context of Melbourne, Australia. The role of local government is highlighted as significant...
View ArticleMothers' experiences of child support: Qualitative research and opportunities...
Child support is one of the defining and under-studied elements of single mothering in contemporary Australia. However, the Australian Child Support Scheme is marked by high levels of debt and...
View Article(In Press) Moving, making and atmosphere: routines of home as sites for...
In this article, we examine how everyday atmospheres of home are made, maintained and improvised through habitual routines of movement, and the implications of this for co-design for energy demand...
View ArticleInfluence maximization of informed agents in social networks
Control of collective behavior is one of the most desirable goals in many applications related to social networks analysis and mining. In this work we propose a simple yet effective algorithm to...
View ArticleOptimal pinning controllability of complex networks: dependence on network...
Controlling networked structures has many applications in science and engineering. In this paper, we consider the problem of pinning control (pinning the dynamics into the reference state), and...
View ArticleDirect observation of the intergallery expansion of...
The intergallery expansion development of a series of differently modified montmorillonite polystyrene nanocomposites was directly observed with time-resolved in situ small-angle X-ray scattering...
View ArticleAn overview of degradable and biodegradable polyolefins
The use of engineering plastics, especially polyolefins has increased significantly in recent decades largely due to their low cost, good mechanical properties and light weight. However, this increase...
View ArticleDifferent ß nucleants and the resultant microstructural, fracture, and...
This article explores the use of two β nucleants to improve the fracture behavior of filled and unfilled homo-polypropylene (PP). The first was based upon an organic quinacridone, whereas the second...

Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) decide the location of firms in accordance with political, economic, technological, and social conditions. Despite the radically increasing volume of inward FDI in...
View ArticleHigh electrical conductivity and elastic modulus composites comprising glass...
Electrically conductive composites with very low percolation threshold values and high elastic modulus have been developed using single-screw extruder from short E-glass fiber (GF) reinforced carbon...
View ArticlePoly(dicyclopentadiene)-montmorillonite nanocomposite formation via...
Exfoliated poly(dicyclopentadiene) (pDCPD)a - montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were synthesized via intergallery-surface-initiated ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). This is the first...
View ArticleFoaming behaviour and cell structure of poly(lactic acid) after various...
Improving the melt strength of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is of continuing strategic research interest since a low melt strength results in poor processability of foaming and blowing film. PLA was...
View ArticlePesticide and trace metal occurrence and aquatic benchmark exceedances in...
Samples of water and sediments were collected from 24 urban wetlands in Melbourne, Australia, in April 2010, and tested for more than 90 pesticides using a range of gas chromatographic (GC) and liquid...
View ArticleMesoscopic analysis of online social networks: the role of negative ties
A class of networks are those with both positive and negative links. In this manuscript, we studied the interplay between positive and negative ties on mesoscopic level of these networks, i.e., their...
