This thesis describes a quality method that was developed to measure the quality of a tool or technique based on the results it produces. Based on the results of these measurements on current carving tools, a number of areas were identified that could be improved. A new carving framework was developed to address these points of improvements, and its results were tested using the previously developed quality method. The new carving framework achieved significantly better results on all identified improvement areas.

The study is focused on the experience of conferencing from the perspective of young people (offenders), their families and supportive others. Of particular interest is the role of the offender’s family (and/or significant others), the nature of their support, and how this impinges on the conference and its outcomes. Although the supporters’ role is pivotal in the conferencing process, its significance has remained largely implicit in the research to date. The objective of the study is to explore this crucial element, using an interpretive approach.

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.

A retaining wall constructed on expansive soil can be subjected to lateral swelling pressures due to soil swelling, which may cause a significant horizontal deformation and bending of the retaining wall. In Australia, it is generally assumed that the backfill behind a retaining wall is non-expansive material. Therefore lateral swelling pressures induced by expansive soils are ignored in routine design.

This research concludes with a discussion on the potential effects on river water quality due to dry weather spills, the impact of rainfall intensity and their potential to mobilize the microbial contamination and move towards a stormwater drain and be transported to a nearby water course. Overall, the objectives of this study were achieved and the transport of microbes can be estimated at different elapsed times depending on the relative humidity after a dry weather spill event, providing its impact on waterways.

This search resulted in the development of a practical software tool based on animated Venn diagrams (Dvenn) that attempted to exploit the inherent human ability to perceive quantities visually, a faculty described herein as visual numeracy. The exploitation of this faculty is considered here to be a valuable aid for group understanding of business presentation data. The development of the tool was an essential part of the research that was undertaken and the resulting software forms a significant portion of this practise based research.
