Abstract:

Shortly after the Second World War Trevor Pearcey joined the Radiophysics Division of the Australian Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), the predecessor of today's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO). He designed the first Australian electronic computer, which was constructed in the Division. By 1951 this machine was functioning, but three years later a decision was made to discontinue work on computer development in CSIRO. Pearcey however went on to play a vital role in Australian computing, both in CSIRO and in academia. This paper tells something of Pearcey's early contribution to Australian computing. It also takes a fresh look at some of the factors involved in the 1954 decision to terminate computer development in CSIRO.

Abstract:

Don Weiss was born in the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda on 4 October 1924 and died in Melbourne on 30 July 2008. He was educated in South Australia, at Scotch College, the South Australian School of Mines and Industry, and the University of Adelaide. He joined the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in 1948 and worked for CSIR and its successor organization, CSIRO, until his retirement in 1984. He was the Chief of the CSIRO Division of Chemical Technology from 1974 to 1979 and Director of CSIRO's Planning and Evaluation Advisory Unit from 1979 to 1984. He was a highly imaginative and creative scientist whose work was always driven by his clear understanding of its application. He made important contributions to separation science but is best known for his contributions to technology for water and waste water treatment. His enduring legacy is the more than twenty MIEX plants that have been installed around the world.

Abstract:

Charles Henry Brian Priestley (known as Bill) was born and educated in England. After completing the Mathematical Tripos at the University of Cambridge, he joined the Meteorological Office in 1939. In 1946, aged 31 years, he took up an Australian appointment with the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR, later to become CSIRO) to establish and develop a group to undertake research in meteorological physics. Thereafter he was based in Melbourne, Australia. The group earned world recognition, particularly for its investigations of turbulent transfer in the lower atmosphere, and evolved to become the CSIRO Division of Atmospheric Research. Priestley's own early research focused on large-scale atmospheric systems, including substantial work on global-scale transport, and later on small-scale atmospheric convection and heat transfer, in which he established some significant results. He had a leading role in the development of the atmospheric sciences in Australia, and was strongly involved in international meteorology. His career with CSIRO extended to 1977, and he finally retired from all professional commitments in the mid-1980s. After several years of declining health, he died on 18 May 1998, seven weeks before he turned 83.

Abstract:

Science’s understanding of the failure mechanisms of large natural and engineered slopes has been improved considerably over the past 15 years. Significant improvements have been realized in innovative methods of data acquisition through field measurement and monitoring, as well as numerical modelling techniques. However, inadequate understanding of complex geology and landslide processes means that any interpretation of landslide data remains mostly subjective. This causes major uncertainty in landslide risk assessment. Over the past decade, Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO; http://www.csiro.au/) has developed novel techniques to facilitate efficient assessment of rock slope stability. These include SirovisionTM, Siromodel, and three CSIRO numerical codes: CSIRO‑SPH, CSIRO‑DEM and CSIRO‑COSFLOW. SirovisionTM is a geological/geotechnical mapping and analysis system that generates accurate, scaled 3D images of rock faces from stereo photographs of exposed rock surfaces, allowing for rapid rock mass structural mapping. Siromodel is a polyhedral modelling system that reads the SirovisionTM data, generates discrete fracture networks (DFN) and performs polyhedral (rock block) modelling and a first‑pass stability analysis. CSIRO‑SPH, CSIRO‑DEM and CSIRO‑COSFLOW are all used for detailed stress‑deformation analysis of rock slopes; however, each code has its own problem‑specific advantage. CSIRO‑SPH is suited for large deformation problems, and can simulate large scale fluid flow problems, such as modelling a dam breakage. CSIRO‑DEM is suited for rock breakage process analysis, and assessment of the runout distance of failure debris. CSIRO‑COSFLOW is designed specifically for efficient, accurate stress‑deformation analysis of stability of structures on bedded sedimentary rocks, where failures along the preexisting bedding planes and through the intact rock layers occur simultaneously.

Abstract:

This paper describes a project to record specialised oral histories of key individuals involved with Australia’s principal scientific research organisation, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). The oral histories are intended to complement official governance documents in a larger project to write a history of CSIRO. Oral histories typically include perspectives on family backgrounds and childhood, professional training and career histories. Of particular interest in these interviews is the involvement of interviewees in the management of CSIRO and their reflections on the place of CSIRO in the Australian and international scientific environments. The interviews were conducted mainly by two of the authors (Spurling and Healy), both of whom were well known to the interviewees because they were themselves senior managers in CSIRO and familiar with the topics discussed. These histories are intended to illuminate important personal factors that have influenced decision-making in CSIRO. Also covered are plans to use other collections of interview materials in the CSIRO History Project (CHP), including those conducted by CSIRO historian Boris Schedvin, the Australian Academy of Science and the National Library of Australia. Details are provided of preparations for interviews, recording and transcription and preparation of materials for public access through CSIROpedia.

Abstract:

Given the simultaneous demands of innovation and international expansion, how do young, internationalising, high-technology, small to medium enterprises (HTSMEs) develop their resource base? In recent years, this question has attracted increased interest in the field of international business (IB), with such firms seemingly contradicting established internationalisation theories. Existing research largely addresses this question through the use of a born global framework (Rennie 1993), grounded in the resource based view (RBV) (Barney, 1991), and/or the dynamic capabilities view (DCV) (Teece, 2007). However, born global literature fails to account for the firm's prior history, suffers from a success bias, and lacks an understanding of the nature of these firms. it has also been noted that the RBV and DCV are better suited to explaining the resource development of larger and typically older firms with generally well-established resource bases that have evolved over time (Connor, 2002; Teece, 2009). As an alternative theoretical lens, I build upon Elizabeth Garnsey's (1998) Theory of the Early Growth of the Firm (TEGF) - a theory too often neglected in the IB literature - which analyses growth in small, high-technology firms. While Edith Penrose in her Theory of the Growth of the Firm (TGF) was concerned with the growth of established firms (Penrose, 2009), Garnsey draws on a genuinely Penrosean lens to explore the development of the resource base in new firms. The TEGF is Penrosean in that it embeds open systems thinking, explains processes and mechanisms underlying development, and moves beyond simplified stage models of growth. Garnsey focuses on a general explanation of early firm growth and I extend her theory to incubated firms in the internationalising HTSME context. Given that the defining feature of internationalising HTSMEs is their technology base, it is surprising that the IB literature has offered little consideration of technology. The born global literature does not focus on the role of technology or provide a theoretical explanation of how a firm develops its technology base over time. Technology is typically treated as accepted, as fixed and pre-determined as a result. The TEGF examines early growth in firms generally, rather than high-technology firms and technology development specifically. Garnsey's emphasis on organisational and managerial aspects in the TEGF can be enriched by incorporating the evolution of the firm's technology base. To do this, I apply a social shaping of technology (SST) lens (Williams and Edge, 1996), which conceptualises technological development as a social rather than narrowly technical process. By providing an explanation for technology development from a SST perspective, I highlight the social dimensions associated with the development of the resource base over time. A SST perspective is, I argue, complementary to the TEGF and its open systems perspective. It allows me to account for the development of the technology base, something which has been missing from existing IB literature. The technology base of the eight case firms selected for this research was similar in that all were incubated within and spun off from a parent, a common parent in the case of seven of the firms, and were seeking to commercialise science-based, new-to-market innovations. I enhance the TEGF by problematising success and failure and focusing more deeply on how this journey unfolds in the high-technology context. In doing so, I make the point that success (rather than failure) is an outlier. A SST lens enabled me to recognise the complexity of the process of technology and resource base development which could result in multiple outcomes depending on contextual conditions. This offered deeper insights than simply focusing on an outcome in isolation (e.g. whether a firm survived or failed) (Wilson and Howcroft, 2000). From a social shaping perspective, I also realised how perceptions of what was considered as a technology success or failure were not predetermined but rather, subject to 'interpretive flexibility' (Rosen, 1993) among relevant social groups (RSGs) (Wilson and Howcroft, 2000). Understanding who decides and why they had the authority to decide required historical analysis that accounted for key stakeholders involved in shaping the success or failure of the technology. These RSGs also provided varying accounts of why case firms developed in the way they did, pinpointing the absence or presence of particular attributes or decisions of the firm. I explain the resource development processes of the case firms as the result of a complex array of 'forking paths' (Williams and Edge, 1996).

Abstract:

En géomécanique, la caractérisation de l’état de contrainte et de la rhéologie d’un massif rocheux peut être obtenue en mesurant la réponse en déformation du terrain sous l’effet d’une sollicitation connue. Une méthode parmi d’autres consiste à recourir pour cela à une cellule de mesure intégrée (comportant des capteurs de déformation orientés selon différentes directions) installée dans un forage et rendue solidaire du massif par l’intermédiaire d’une colle époxy. Ce principe de mesure est utilisé, notamment, pour déterminer l’état de contraintes in situ par la méthode dite de « surcarottage » et les caractéristiques élastiques de la roche à partir de l’essai « biaxial ».Entre novembre 2005 et janvier 2006, une campagne d’essais géomécaniques de ce type a été menée dans l’argilite de Tournemire (Aveyron, France), à l’aide des cellules CSIRO. Les mesures de déformation obtenues ont révélé des phénomènes inhabituels qui ont rendu délicate la détermination des caractéristiques élastiques anisotropes de la roche et impossible l’accès aux contraintes du site.La présente thèse a pour objectif de contribuer, par la recherche d’explications à l’origine de ces phénomènes, d’une part, à l’amélioration de la connaissance du comportement de l’argilite de Tournemire et, d’autre part, à l’amélioration du protocole de mesure et d’interprétation de déformations obtenues par cellules CSIRO.Notre démarche consiste, dans un premier temps, à émettre un certain nombre d’hypothèses explicatives des phénomènes observés par la recherche bibliographique. Dans un deuxième temps, nous testons ces hypothèses à travers la modélisation analytique et numérique des essais de surcarottage et biaxiaux, puis à travers la réalisation de nouvelles expérimentations in situ et en laboratoire sur l’argilite, mais aussi sur des matériaux-tests (ciment, échantillon de colle).Nous concluons que les phénomènes inhabituels observés résultent, pour l’essentiel, des conditions de mise en œuvre in situ des cellules CSIRO. En particulier, nous mettons l’accent sur les artéfacts induits par le comportement visco-plastique de la colle époxy lorsqu’elle n’est pas parfaitement polymérisée. Le rôle de l’endommagement de la roche généré par les opérations de forage est également discuté. Nous en tirons des recommandations pratiques pour la réalisation de nouveaux essais dans des conditions similaires
In Geomechanics, determining the state of stress and the rheology of rock massive can be obtained by measuring the strain response of the ground under the effect of a known stress. A method among others is to use a cell integrated (with strain gauges oriented in different directions) installed in a borehole and secured to the mass through an epoxy glue. This measurement is used, notably, to determine the stress state in situ by the « overcoring » method and the elastic parameters of the rock from the « biaxial » test.Between November 2005 and January 2006, a geomechanical testing campaign was conducted in the argillaceous formation of the Tournemire experimental site (Aveyron, France) using CSIRO Hi cells. The strain measurements obtained during overcoring and biaxial tests, have shown unusual phenomena, which have made difficult the determination of anisotropic elastic parameters of the rock and the access to the site stress.Therefore, through researches for explanations of the origin of these phenomena, this thesis aims to improve and to contribute to the understanding of argillite Tournemire’s behaviour and to upgrade the measurement protocol as well as the interpretation of cells CSIRO’s strain.Our approach is, firstly, to issue a number of hypotheses to explain certain, phenomena observed in literature. In a second step, we test these hypotheses through analytical and numerical modelling of the biaxial and overcoring tests then through the realization of new experiments in situ within laboratory on argillite, and also on materials tests (cement, sample of glue).We conclude that the unusual phenomena observed are essentially the result of the conditions for implementing in situ CSIRO’s cell. In particular, we focus on the artefacts induced by the visco-plastic behaviour of the epoxy glue when it is incompletely polymerised. The role of damage on the rock generated by drilling operations is also discussed. We draw some practical recommendations for implementing new tests under similar conditions

Abstract:

The temporal and spatial variability in wind speed and direction was investigated in a study of the mesoscale wind fields in the Canberra region. The statistical description of the winds was based on twelve months of three-hourly data at seventeen sites obtained in a joint program carried out by the Division of Land Use Research, CSIRO, the National Capital Development Commission, and the Bureau of Meteorology. The statistical analysis proceeded in stages. The first two stages were concerned with the determination and examination of averages and measures of dipersion. Information on the temporal variability in regional wind, defined as the average of the winds at the seventeen collection sites, provided the first insight into the important determinants of winds in the region. The data were then categorized on the basis of the information thus obtained, and the averages over time for each site were analysed in each category. The variation between sites revealed the extent of the spatial variability in the region. For each category, for each site, there were perturbations around the average state, and in the last stage of the study, the analysis examined how the perturbations were related across sites using correlation coefficients. Generalized Procrustes Analysis was used, followed by the extensive use of cluster analysis. Linear modelling techniques were used at all stages of the study, not only for wind speed, but also for wind direction which is an angular variate and thus required different modelling procedures. The models related the variables of interest to terrain features such as position, elevation and surface roughness. These models allowed an informed judgement to be made on the likelihood of accurately estimating the winds at other locations in the region using interpolation techniques.

Abstract:

Global climate model simulations indicate 1.3°C to 1.8°C increase in the Earth’s average temperature by middle of this century above the 1980 to 1999 average. The magnitude and rate of change of this projected warming is greater than the average warming during the last century. Global climate models project an even higher degree of warming later in the century also due to increasing grrenhouse gases concentrations in the atmosphere from human activity. Impacts of future climate change on viticulture are likely to be significant as viticulture requires a narrow climate range to produce grapes of suitable quality for premium wine production.In this thesis, impacts of climate change on winegrape growing conditions across the Western Australian wine regions were spatially and temporally examined by utilising fine resolution downscaled climate projections. Relationships between climate variation and grape maturity or key quality attributes of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Chardonnay were modelled from measured fruit and climate data along a natural climate gradient encompassing a 5°C range in winegrape growing season average temperature. Potential future climate change impacts on grape quality were quantitatively evaluated by driving the grape quality models with the downscaled climate projections.Analyses of climate conditions for winegrape growth were carried out under future climate projections for the Western Australian wine regions. A total of 10 global climate models forced with an A2 emission scenario were downscaled. Of these models, the MEDRES Miroc3.2 and CSIRO Mk3.5 climate models, which indicated the low and high warming ranges (projections of these models will be referred as low and high range warming, hereafter) across the study regions, were selected to take into account the uncertainty of future climate change for impact assessment. Our results indicate increasingly warmer and drier climate conditions for the Western Australian wine regions. The current October to April average temperature (averaged across the regions) is projected to be 0.5°C to 1.5°C warmer by 2030, respectively. The magnitude of the warming will likely be uneven across the regions. For example, 0.1 to 0.3°C higher average temperature during October to April period has been projected for the northern regions than the southern regions by 2030, depending on the warming ranges. On the other hand, rainfall is projected to decrease across the regions under the future scenario we assessed in this study. By 2030, annual rainfall, averaged across the regions, is projected to decline by 5 to 8%, respectively, under the low and high warming ranges of climate change under the A2 emission scenario. Among seasons, the greatest decline in rainfall is projected to occur during spring. On average, up to 8% and 19% decline in spring rainfall is projected respectively under the low and high warming ranges by 2030.The magnitude of these changes are projected to increase as time progresses. For example, by 2070, averaged across the study regions, our modelling results show current mean temperature during October to April is projected to be between 1.1°C and 3.9°C warmer, but the annual rainfall is likely to be 15 to 24% lower than the current climate averages (1975 to 2005) under the A2 scenario.Maturity dates of the studied varieties are projected to advance asymmetrically across the study regions. For example, Cabernet Sauvignon may reach 22 °Brix total soluble solid maturity about 4 and 7 days earlier respectively for the northern and the southern regions by 2030 under the low warming range. Our results also indicate maturity date shifting a further 8 and 18 days earlier by 2070 for the northern and the southern regions respectively under the same warming range. Patterns of this maturity date shifting is likely to be similar under the high warming range. However, the magnitude of advancement is projected to be doubled.If no adaptive measures are implemented future climate change will likely reduce wine quality due to declining concentrations of berry anthocyanins and acidity under a warmer climate. The reductions of berry quality attributes are likely to be more pronounced in the warmer northern wine regions compared to the cooler southern regions. For example, Cabernet Sauvignon current median anthocyanins concentration is projected to decline by about 12% and 33% for the warmer northern regions, and about 6 to 18% for the cooler southern wine regions respectively by 2030 and 2070 under the high warming range. In contrast, the maximum decline in Cabernet Sauvignon anthocyanin concentration under the lower warming range is projected to be small, up to 5% for the cooler southern and up to 8% for the warmer northern regions by 2070. Shiraz anthocyanins concentration decrease pattern is similar to that of Cabernet Sauvignon, however, our modelling indicates the magnitude is smaller, with maximum of 18% for Swan District and about 11% for the southern regions by 2070 under the high warming range.Modelled impacts of climate change on grape titratable acidity are also region and variety specific. Among the varieties studied, Chardonnay exhibits the highest decline in median titratable acidity across the regions (17% for the Margaret River and 42% for the Swan District regions), followed by Shiraz (7% for the Margaret River and 15% for the Peel regions) and Cabernet Sauvignon (no change for Blackwood and 12% for the Swan District regions) by 2070 under high climate warming. On the other hand, the median titratable acidity levels are less impacted by low warming scenario (maximum decline is 4% for Shiraz only by 2070).Under the future warming scenarios studied in this thesis currently established wine regions and wine styles across the Western Australian wine regions are likely to be affected to the extent that some regions may not be conducive to premium wine production, while for some regions changing the variety may be the only option to adapt to the climate change. For example, by 2070, under high warming range Swan District, Perth Hills, and some parts of the Peel and Geographe regions are projected to be suited more to producing fortified wines or table grapes due to high average growing season temperature (>24°C). In this future climate the present cool climate southern regions are likely to have the same climate conditions that currently prevail in the warmer Swan District. Apparent differences in currently planted varieties between the cooler southern and warmer northern regions clearly indicate the need to adapt to the warming climate in the southern wine regions.Analysis of other potential factors that influence viticulture such as frequency of hot days, vapour pressure deficit and disease pressure were examined. The results indicated that winegrape fungal disease pressure will likely decrease across the regions due to the declining rainfall, potentially lessening the need for spraying during the growing season. On the other hand, there will likely be increased frequency of hot days and elevated vapour pressure deficit. The impacts of these, combined with the decreasing rainfall during growing season will potentially drive irrigation demand higher requiring altered water management under climate change.Climatically, most of the Western Australian wine regions are known as premium wine producing areas. The results from this study indicate potential challenges of climate change for the Western Australian wine industry. Under the future climate scenarios examined, some currently warmer regions may become less suitable for premium quality wines due to the increased temperature, which is projected to be out of the optimum temperature range for premium wine production. For most of the other regions, the challenge will likely be a decreased grape quality required to produce premium wine with the current varieties. Suitable adaptation strategies may be required to maintain the current market reputation. Furthermore, the warmer and drier conditions under climate change is likely to necessitate revised water management across the wine growing regions, especially some regions which are already limited by available water for grape production. However, the magnitude of the impacts is projected to be dependent upon the magnitude of future climate change.

Abstract:

Lo scavo del Cunicolo Esplorativo de “La Maddalena” ha come scopo l’esplorazione geognostica, indagando le caratteristiche dell’ammasso roccioso e della sua risposta allo scavo meccanizzato sotto le alte coperture (massima copertura raggiunta 2000 metri) raggiunte al di sotto del Massiccio d’Ambin. Questo scavo servirà sia per una progettazione affidabile sia per la fase di costruzione del Tunnel di Base. La tematica al centro della tesi riguarda l’analisi delle informazioni raccolte durante lo scavo del Cunicolo Esplorativo de “La Maddalena”, situata nel Comune di Chiomonte (TO), con particolare riguardo alle prove volte a caratterizzare lo stato tensionale in situ e per valutare gli effetti sulla progettazione della nuova linea di collegamento Torino – Lione. Ogni tipo di scavo sotterraneo altera lo stato tensionale esistente negli ammassi rocciosi e l’entità di questa alterazione è funzione dello stato tensionale preesistente all’operazione di scavo. In questa tesi, vengono analizzate: le prove di sovracarotaggio CSIRO e di fratturazione idraulica (HF) per la misura dello stato tensionale in situ; le misure di convergenza per esaminare il comportamento deformativo dell’ammasso roccioso e per verificare un eventuale effetto marcato delle caratteristiche dello stato tensionale. Infine, si considerano le possibili implicazioni di tali caratteristiche sulla progettazione del futuro Tunnel di Base.

Abstract:

This paper explores the conflicts of interest present in science policy and how claims being made for evidence based science can be used to suppress critical social science research. The specific case presented concerns the attempts to ban and censor my work criticising the economics of carbon emissions trading while I was working for the Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in Australia. The role of management and the Science Minister are documented through their own public statements. The case raises general issues about the role of epistemic communities in the production of knowledge, the potential for manipulation of information under the guise of quality control and the problems created by claiming a fact-value dichotomy in the science-policy interface. The implications go well beyond just climate change research and challenge how public policy is being formulated in modern industrial societies where scientific knowledge and corporate interests are closely intertwined.

Abstract:

AbstractThe year 1960 was pivotal for developments at RPL; the GRT construction was underway in the European factories and at Parkes in Australia. CSIRO made a decision to start the Paul Wild Radioheliograph project after the GRT was completed and the Super-Cross project of Mills was put on hold. Both Christiansen and Mills left for new positions at the University of Sydney in mid-year and Bowen and White also began the process that led to John Bolton’s return to CSIRO in early 1961.

Abstract:

AbstractThe 1950s was a decade of wonderful flowering and exploration for the CSIRO Division of Radiophysics. From 1950, solar noise and cosmic noise scientists became “radio astronomers”. They were present as such in international astronomy as well as radio science meetings. The key achievements of the first 5 years of observing and categorising solar bursts and detecting and measuring discrete radio sources, had produced a set of challenging new research questions. Some were conceptual and theoretical—including, the nature of the unknown non-thermal radiation mechanism that underpinned cosmic radiation emission. Some concerned the complexities and challenges of instrumentation—the early 1950s saw swift innovation of instruments and methods, in order to resolve new research questions.

Abstract:

AbstractAs 1961 began, John Bolton re-joined CSIRO in early January. On 24 February 1961, a meeting of the 210-foot Radio Telescope Committee (aka the GRT) was held with Bowen (chair), Minnett (secretary), Pawsey, Beard, Higgs, Bolton, Cooper, Day, Mathewson, McCready and McGee. Pawsey had prepared a document 2 days earlier that set out a plan of action for the GRT; the construction was expected to be completed by August 1961. Pawsey described Phase 1 tests of the new aerial, consisting of determinations of the shape of the dish, pointing accuracy as a function of position, wind and temperature. An example was the determination of the “… directional patterns at various polarisations to access dish accuracy, the determination of the radio axis of the dish … The measurements will require a series of radio sources of known positions distributed over the coverage of the telescope.”

Abstract:

Forty-seven poly-TG microsatellites were developed at the U of IL, and 11 genetic markers were developed at ARO, nine of which were poly-AGC microsatellites. Markers were typed on the reference families of CSIRO, Australia; GRANADA, Texas; and IRRF, Illinois, for chromosome assignment and linkage mapping. Nine North American al organizations contributed semen to the Dairy Bull DNA Repository (DBDR), which currently has 65,743 units from 3366 bulls. Semen was obtained for 31 out of 35 grandsires. Semen of 28 and 23 sons of two Israeli bulls was also collected. Eighteen grandsires were genotyped for 75 microsatellites. One thousand, three hundred and sixty-two sons with evaluation from 17 families were genotyped for 24 markers. Eleven thousand, six hundred and twenty sons genotypes were determined, of which 8,802 were informative. The genotype data was matched to the bulls' daughter yield deviations (DYD) for seven traits; milk, fat, and protein production; fat and protein percent; somatic cell concentration (SCS); and productive herd life. Seven loci had significant effects at p<0.05, but only two loci, TGLA263 and MGTG7, had significant effects at p<0.01, and the effect of TGLA263 on fat percentage was significant at p<0.0001. There was at least one significant effect for each of the seven traits analyzed.
