(2019)In this thesis, we investigate the existence of global weak solutions for a generalized Benjamin-Bona-Burgers equation and a nonlinear equation with quartic nonlinearities. The existence of local weak solutions and ...
-
(2019)In this thesis, three dynamic principal-agent models and a defined contribution (DC) pension model are investigated. Time-varying volatility, ability uncertainty, and time-varying shocks are considered in the three ...
-
(2020)In this thesis, the effects of FRP (Fibre reinforced polymer) configurations, concrete characteristics and strain rate on the bond behaviours between FRP and concrete are investigated by intensive static and dynamic tests, ...
-
(2020)This research investigated the associations between breastfeeding practices and early childhood caries in a birth cohort of Australian pre-schoolers. To achieve this, new dietary assessment methods were developed, including ...
-
(2019)This research evaluates the suitability of using ground granulated ferronickel slag (GFNS) as a partial replacement of cement in concrete. The high magnesium content of GFNS was present as stable forsterite ferroan that ...
-
(2020)Animals play critical roles in ecosystems, yet they are often overlooked in assessments of habitat restoration success. I mapped habitat usage and used camera trapping and VHF/GPS tracking to assess the ecological and ...
-
(2019)Performance, structural and resistive effects of two lanthanide perovskites, respectively doped with Barium and Calcium elements, were studied. This analysis enabled the identification of the individual component performance ...
-
(2019)This PhD advances knowledge on breast size as a factor associated with upper back pain in mature-aged women. Using cross-sectional and prospective study designs involving mature-aged women and women undergoing reduction ...
-
(2019)The present thesis aims to provide a theoretical clarification of job crafting construct and a better understanding of demands crafting. Article 1 presents a new hierarchical structure of job crafting, which enables the ...
