(2019)This PhD project has examined the behaviour and applicability of Re-Os and Rb-Sr isotope systems for dating and characterizing petroleum systems. Through case studies of ancient petroleum systems in the McArthur, Tarim ...
-
(2019)The main contribution is an Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) based system that classifies a selection of gait anomalies to assist the clinicians in diagnosis of walking disorders. The developed 3-D angle and stride length ...
-
(2019)This thesis derives a continuum theory for solid solutions undergoing chemo-mechanical processes. The theoretical foundations rely on modern continuum mechanics, thermodynamics far from equilibrium, and phase-field models. ...
-
(2019)Backpropagation using Stochastic Diagonal Approximate Greatest Descent (SDAGD) is a novel adaptive second-order derivative optimization method in updating weights of deep learning neural networks. SDAGD applies two-phase ...
-
(2019)This thesis investigates the crustal evolution of the Albany-Fraser Orogen in Western Australia, using U-Pb geochronology, Lu-Hf and oxygen isotope geochemistry of zircon crystals in granitic rocks. The results show that ...
-
(2019)This study evaluated and optimised the activated carbon adsorption (ACA) process for the recovery of metals from alkaline glycine leachates. The use of activated carbon for metals adsorption remains industry’s preferred ...
-
(2019)This research has investigated novel vibration condition monitoring methods for horizontal-axis wind turbines for a range of case studies simulating various failure modes of the blades and tower, including the effect of ...
-
(2019)This thesis contains the tools for characterizing antenna arrays in a mutually coupled environment which includes phased arrays. Using the formulations derived, it enables the calculation of realized area, receiver noise ...
-
(2019)Ethylene plays a key role in the ripening process, postharvest senescence and deterioration of fruit. The efficacy of new ethylene antagonists, 1H-cyclopropabenzene and 1H-cyclopropa[b]naphthalene, to manage ethylene ...
