Being and media: digital ontology after the event of the end of media
In the contemporary era, everything is digital and the digital is everything. Everything is digitized to data, then modulated between storage and display in an endless network of protocol-based...
View ArticlePolarization-controlled tunable directional coupling of surface plasmon...
Light can be coupled into propagating electromagnetic surface waves at a metal-dielectric interface known as surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). This process has traditionally faced challenges in the...
View ArticleCalculation of the volumetric diffracted field with a three-dimensional...
The first Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction formula is treated in an exact form as a three-dimensional (3D) convolution in the spatial domain. Therefore, a 3D Fourier transform can be employed to convert...
View ArticleGenerating self-accelerating Airy beams using a digital micromirror device
We report a new approach for generating an Airy beam by using a digital micromirror device (DMD) and a holographic technique where the DMD loads the desired hologram. Unique characteristics of an Airy...
View ArticleHolographic detection of the orbital angular momentum of light with plasmonic...
Metallic components such as plasmonic gratings and plasmonic lenses are routinely used to convert free-space beams into propagating surface plasmon polaritons and vice versa. This generation of...
View ArticleNanostructured holograms for broadband manipulation of vector beams
We report a new type of holographic interface, which is able to manipulate the three fundamental properties of light (phase, amplitude, and polarization) over a broad wavelength range. The design...
View Article(In press) Chinese students' perceptions of the teaching in an Australian...
This exploratory study is designed to elicit and understand the views of Mainland Chinese students concerning their learning experience in an Australian accounting education programme. The article...
View ArticleFlicker light-induced retinal vasodilation is unaffected by inhibition of...
PURPOSE: To investigate the role of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and prostaglandins (PGs) in retinal blood vessel calibers and vasodilation during flicker light stimulation in humans. METHODS:...
View ArticleFinite element based bone remodeling and resonance frequency analysis for...
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has been extensively used in design of new prostheses for characterizing biomechanical responses induced in human body. Dental implant, as one of such typical devices, has...
View ArticleAn early career academic network: What worked and what didn't
This article documents the experiences of three early career academics trying to establish a network of early career academics (ECAs) in a middle-ranked university in Australia. The changing context of...
View ArticleClimate change adaptation and scenario planning: framing issues and tools
Climate change adaptation means that not only do we have difficult decisions to make, but we also need improved ways of making them. Although not new, scenario planning is one tool increasingly being...
View ArticleDeveloping and validating a hierarchical model of service quality of retail...
Like other service institutes, developing and managing quality service is a challenging issue in retail banks. Recent studies established that retail banks' customer satisfaction can be managed with a...
View ArticleUnderstanding survival sex: young Women, homelessness and intimate relationships
This article seeks to explore gendered experiences of homelessness through an examination of survival sex. Survival sex is usually understood to be the exchange of sex for material support, however,...
View ArticleCritical passions building architectural movements toward a radical pedagogy...
Radical pedagogies are taken here to be experimental forms of learning that are engaged with an on-going and passionate protest against inert ideas. It is education of and for vitality - learning how...
View ArticleSingular diffraction-free surface plasmon beams generated by overlapping...
We propose and experimentally demonstrate the singular surface plasmon beam that presents a dark channel generated by a point dislocation and a long diffraction-free propagation distance up to 70.sp....
View ArticleBoiling lines and lightning sketches: process and the animated drawing
Animation has often involved some degree of drawing, but 'boiling' and animated sketching are two unique forms of drawn animation that overtly foreground the process of drawing. In this article, the...

View ArticleZeta potential, gel formation and compressive strength of low calcium fly ash...
A major challenge in the specification of geopolymer mix designs is the variability in the fly ash used and the impact of that variability on the performance of the geopolymer produced. The factors...
