Since community buildings are a large group of assets managed by local city councils, current research has the potential to identify asset management deficiencies and assist in improving an integrated management model by: Establishing deterioration trends in building components for community buildings; Validating proposed deterioration using case-study data; Developing a database of costs to facilitate optimisation of maintenance; Developing a methodology to integrate deterioration and cost to optimize maintenance requirements.

Karl Lagerfeld's significance, contributions and original fashion designs are generated by several interrelated factors: perceptive use of historical antecedents, artistic background, love of art and design and the influence of artists and selected fashion designers. These factors had profound effects which provided a personal conceptual base for his own label, the House of Chanel, Chloe and the Fendi sisters. His various designs for these disparate labels reflect the complexity of Lagerfeld's character and display the adaptability of his individualistic talents.

The ‘Ephemeral Laboratory’ seeks to create a methodology for myself and other practitioners working within the field of ephemeral architecture. It tests the proposition that a robust armature can be developed to act as a common methodological device in the design, curation and orchestration of a diverse range of temporal engagements with participants and other practitioners within a variety of public realms.

This thesis investigates the SPH capability available in the commercial Finite Element (FE) code LS-DYNA®, for water impact problems. Experiments have been conducted on rigid wedges impacting water, which were then simulated with the SPH method. Although certain limitations were experienced with the experimental results, a positive correlation was observed with the numerical technique, thus establishing SPH as a promising method for crashworthiness design.

Optimum Flight Trajectories for Terrain Collision AvoidanceThe objective of this research is to introduce a new methodology that computes optimal escape trajectories within a three dimensional digital terrain. It has been established that conducting a pull up manoeuvre may not always be the best option for a pilot to salvage the aircraft in the case of an imminent collision. To prove this further, several simulations were conducted which shows that performing a lateral turn can produce safer trajectories in comparison to a vertical pull up.

This thesis proposes and implements a new and novel solution on simulators and real devices to solve the mobility problem in a VPN. The new solution adds mobility support to existing L2TP/IPsec (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol/IP Security) tunnels. The new solution tunnels Layer 2 packets between VPN clients and a VPN server without using Mobile IP, without incurring tunnel-re-establishment at handoff, without losing packets during handoff, achieves better security than current mobility solutions for VPN, and supports fast handoff in IPv4 networks.

Objects, when understood as retrieval cues for memories, may elicit psychological benefits and connections to an individual's past. They are integral to our life story and help to form our individual sense of identity and ability to establish a sound psychological foundation. Transitional objects are an important related category of objects that have been identified in this research. The concept and use of transitional objects and their related phenomena during infancy is well researched, whereas the impact and importance beyond infancy is less established.

This thesis bridges a gap in extant research by examining key factors that play a role in behavioral grocery shopping routines following minor and major disruptions. The present research involves two interrelated investigations incorporating mixed methodologies (Cresswell, 2003). The primary research objectives of the present thesis are: To model how consumer routines are established and maintained over time (i.e., model of routinization); and to investigate the impact of no, minor, and major disruptions on routinized grocery shopping behavior.

The renewed interest in executive remuneration, particularly CEO remuneration, in light of the recent global financial crisis (GFC) leads to the question: Is CEO remuneration excessive or can it be justified on grounds of the established reputation of individual CEOs, the performance of the company, the quality of the internal governance structures and the ability of shareholders to have an influence? This question provides the impetus for this study. To answer this question, an understanding of the multiple drivers of executive remuneration is required.

This study examined the phenomenon of residual protection by suspending the operation of established ICCP systems in two wharves located in southern Victoria and monitoring the effect on the passivity of the steel via electrochemical testing. The results of the study confirm that the steel in selected elements within these structures remained passive once the ICCP system was interrupted. The primary factor in determining which elements remained passive, and the duration of passivity was the amount of charge injected into the element over the life of the ICCP system.

The current research project genotyped HAV RNA by using protocols and primer sets designed by HAVNET. It collected and genotyped previous HAV-positive samples in VIDRL sample bank, and the results were used to establish epidemiological and molecular database of the HAV strains. The database was used to investigate the relationship between the current diagnostic samples and the previous HAV infection cases. It was expected to identify the source of the hepatitis A infection.

This research focuses on the emerging overseas investor determinants for the Australian residential property market subsequent to the GFC 2008. The aim of this study is to determine whether there is historical evidence and whether there are emerging trends to support the existence of a significant relationship between overseas investors and residential housing markets’ performance. This research will first examine the established residential property market performance in metropolitan Melbourne and two Melbourne suburbs which have attracted substantial overseas investment interest.

This research aims to address these research gaps. Through the literature review, the most popular building PV applications in China are identified. Hence, five building PV scenarios are developed based on real-word cases, including BAPV, roof BIPV and window BIPV. Given the diverse geographic conditions and policy conditions in China, 12 typical cities are selected for the research. A MATLAB program is established to calculate energy generation and evaluate the economic performance of the building PV applications in the 12 cities.

This study aims to investigate the language used for denoting graduation in English literary discourse. Basing on the theoretical framework of Appraisal proposed by Martin and White (2005), it lays its focus particularly on how intensification as graduation is realized via linguistic and stylistic means in English literary discourse. A comparison among expressions for intensification is established to recognize what sub-groups are preferable to be used in this type of discourse.
