This paper aims to study the effect of coal bottom ash (CBA) as a fine aggregate substitution at high levels on the mechanical properties and microstructure characteristics of concrete. CBA that sourced from a local coal-fired power plant in Vietnam was used to replace the natural sand (NS) in the concrete mixtures at different levels of 0, 30, 50, 70, and 100%.

This study investigates the impact of intellectual property rights enforcement on Korea’s technological exports to 158 partner countries during 2010–2022. Using a gravity model and GMM estimation, the findings reveal a significant positive effect of IPR on exports across all technology levels.

This article presents a trajectory-planning program for research-and-rescue UAVs based on the use of a local optimization greedy algorithm. Trajectories are generated over a search domain characterized by a probabilistic score map. For multiple-UAV systems, the program can assign each device to a search mission based on the probabilistic property or the geometry of the search domain.

The article presents a model and derives analytical expressions for Helmholtz free energy, the nearest neighbor distance, isothermal compressibility, the thermal expansion coefficient, the heat capacities at constant volume and constant pressure as functions of temperature, concentration of interstitial atoms, and film’s thickness for an interstitial binary alloy with a BCC structure based on the statistical moment method (SMM).

The first principle calculation was employed to investigate the formation energies and structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of intrinsic and Ni-doped sodium bismuth titanate Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3(BNT). The obtained formation energies indicate that Ni atoms prefer to dope into Bi-sites in the lattice of BNT while the calculated band structure shows that the doping leads to the emergence of new midgap energy states in the bandgaps, reducing the bandgap value of doped materials.

Located in the northwest of Laocai province, Batxat district has been frequently affected by natural disasters, including landslides and debris flows. Therefore, landslide hazard assessment (LHA) has been a significant task for planning, economic development, and minimizing human and property damage.

The article analyzes the economic impacts of improving the legislation on property registration in Vietnam to meet the requirements of economic development in the context of integration.

Thermophysical properties of industrially complex fluids whose composition is always ill-defined are in practice predicted by using thermodynamic models. To ensure the prediction accurately and reliably, a three-step procedure to obtain the properties of these fluids must be validated. The focus of this study is laid on a short review of tools which can be served for each of the three steps.

We calculate the exciton radiative lifetime of spherical Indium Phosphide (InP) and Cadmium Selenide (CdSe) colloidal quantum dots. In experiments, InP and CdSe quantum dots can be coated by another semiconductor shell, organic ligands, or inorganic molecules.

Natural products have been gaining popularity in recent years as a safe skin-safe alternative solution to synthetic products on the market. In particular, natural ingredients have been found to have skinwhitening properties by inhibiting melanin production and reducing hyperpigmentation. This review provides the analysis of some mechanisms and effectiveness of natural products in achieving even skin tone and reducing the appearance of dark spots.

In this study, we explore the potential of graph neural networks (GNNs), in combination with transfer learning, for the prediction of molecular solubility, a crucial property in drug discovery and materials science. Our approach begins with the development of a GNN-based model to predict the dipole moment of molecules.

This thesis is the result of systemic research in an attempt to define the confusion that exists, resulting from the application of inappropriate economic theories in valuation. This research also attempts to find the reason for and the source of the confusion. This research supports that which has previously been advocated that valuation principles of valuation Practice must be underpinned by a working theory embedded in positive economics.

This research examines property university programs in Australia. It tracks the student/graduate from the beginning of the university experience to that of the early-career professional, and examines expectations of other stakeholders, concentrating on property programs offered by Australian public universities. The basis of the research is a perceived gap in the literature and practice relating to stakeholder expectations of these programs and what may reasonably be done to improve satisfaction.

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. The foreign investment elements in Melbourne’s housing market will be assessed through a case study on Chinese investors.

The aim of this thesis is: To examine and evaluate commercial property market forecast theory and models used in forecasting market performance; to define and analyse downside risk exposure and strategies to manage risks in a real estate environment; to test the accuracy of commercial property market and economic forecasts and to determine whether they capture downside risks; to analyse and discuss the relationship between property forecast errors and economic forecast errors; to explore the current state of the australian commercial property market forecasting practice and its exposure to downside risks; to develop a decision making model to improve forecast accuracy of australian commercial property market performance.

This research is aimed at identifying and examining house price determinants at a local level to understand why house prices vary across different locations and the factors influencing such price differentiation. This research has adopted explanatory mixed research methods (QUAN -> QUAL) where quantitative analysis is used in the first stage to examine the Melbourne housing market and its performance at different levels. The research found there were certain periods where local house prices do not perform in line with either country, city or other local housing markets.

The major purpose of this dissertation is to test the practical applicability of RO theory through valuation of flexibility using selected case studies from the Australian residential property development market to either support or oppose the adoption of RO theory for property development decision making in practice. The objectives of this dissertation follow the general approach to real options research which focuses on determining the value of real options in capital projects with the aim of improving investment decision making under uncertainty by property practitioners and to demonstrate the ability of ROV to value flexible managerial decisions.

The focus of this research is to identify the important steps and considerations that influence Australian fund manager’s property allocation decisions, and to suggest ways to improve institutional allocation decisions towards property investments, which traditionally offers stable, income focused returns. This is important for funding the retirement of Australia’s growing and aging population, and to combat the continued effects of the recent Global Financial Crisis on the equities and bond markets.

The primary aim of this research was to identify what would enhance the overall performance of Australian universities in research commercialisation¹ and industry uptake of the university research commercialisation outcomes. Four research questions were enunciated: 1. What are the systemic barriers to research commercialisation within Australian universities? 2. How could Australian universities overcome the systemic barriers to the commercialisation of university research? 3. How, in particular, could Australian smaller and regional universities enhance their research commercialisation capacity and performance? 4. How could the uptake by industry of Australian university research outcomes be improved?
