Objects to functions

This research project investigates the influence of decoration and decorating on a fashion design practice, exploring the transformative effects of both in relation to surface and structure. Decoration is considered an after-effect, an element that can be differentiated from the object it adheres to, sometimes making it superfluous to the object’s function. In this project I consider decoration as having its own function – the ability, through its link to the ‘exterior’ world, to transform the shape, appearance and materials of forms by modifying their facade.

The aim of the research for this thesis is to develop objective measurement techniques that relate to the perceived subjective functional performance of critical listening rooms. It is also hoped that the research will lead to an increased understanding of the role of the individual listener in respect to their preferred room acoustical configuration.

The broad aim of this research project is to optimize planned and emergency maintenance tasks and timings for tram tracks. Consistent with that broad aim, the following specific objectives are identified: Understand the factors affecting the degradation of tram tracks; develop a degradation prediction model for tracks as a function of the influencing factors; evaluate the time and type of maintenance required for deteriorated rail tracks.

The objective of this project was to develop \(Ti{O_2}\) based multifunctional substrates through silver decoration, while simultaneously enhancing the photocatalytic performance of \(Ti{O_2}\) in the substrate. Employing Ag nanoparticles introduced additional functionality to the system, namely surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), thus enabling the detection of trace amounts of organic molecules prior to their degradation, all with the same substrate.

The objective of this thesis is to examine the practice of infrastructure procurement in Australian State Governments in order to analyse how strategic the procurement function is. In doing so this thesis examines how Australian State Government agencies procure infrastructure projects and the extent to which they view the procurement process as an opportunity to deliver more than just a physical facility. This research contributes to both the body of knowledge focused on maximising the impact of public sector expenditure and the practice of infrastructure procurement.
