Abstract:
This paper explores the relationship between urban traffic, retail location and disease control during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis and tries to find a way to simultaneously address these issues for the purpose of street recovery. Drawing on the concept of the 15 min city, the study also aims at seeking COVID-19 exit paths and next-normal operating models to support long-term business prosperity using a case study of Royal Street, East Perth in Western Australia. Nearly half of the shops became vacant or closed at the end of 2020 along the east section of Royal Street, demonstrating the fragility of small business in a car-oriented street milieu that is inadequately supported by proper physical, digital and social infrastructure. A key finding from the analysis is the formulation of the concept of the Minute City. This describes a truly proximity-centred and socially driven hyper-local city, where residents and retailers work together on the local street as a walkable public open space (other than movement space), and benefit from ameliorated traffic flow, improved business location and a safer, connected community.

Abstract:
This paper uses AWIRS data to examine two related questions. First, how extensive are closed shop arrangements in Australia and second, what factors are associated with closed shop coverage? The paper draws heavily on earlier work by Gianni Zappala, but argues that Zappala's estimates substantially overstated the extent of the closed shop. Moreover, unlike other studies of the closed shop (both in Australia and overseas), this paper utilises multivariate techniques to isolate the impact of the different factors thought to be associated with closed shop coverage.

Abstract:
The 2020 COVID-19 outbreak has deeply redefined our relationship to public spaces. Fear of transmission (both direct and indirect) has strucked all sectors and put down public facilities such as schools, restaurants, and offices. The implementation of restrictions on community activities in Jakarta alone has resulted in 1030 restaurants permanently closed and 400 restaurants to temporary closed from early 2020 to 2021. Public preference has shifted to outdoor area with open air space to reduce the possibility of transmision. Therefore, shop house food and beverage retails that operated in big cities may find a challenge to keep the costumers' comfort. Keywords: shop house, new normal, food and beverage, retails

Abstract:
Coffee shops are currently in great demand; thus the numbers of coffee shops show an increase, including in Bandung city. However, the number of customers at Armor Kopi Leuit Coffee Shop has decreased in number. The purposes of this study were to analyze costumers’ preferences for coffee and customers’ preferences for Armor Kopi Leuit coffee shop. The research method used was quantitative descriptive method, while the analytical instrument used was conjoint analysis. Samples were taken by convenience sampling and 100 samples were obtained. The results showed that coffee attributes that is considered the most important by consumers are tastes with strong coffee preferences, while consumer preferences for coffee shops included shop designs that provided closed and open spaces, easily accessible coffee shop locations, barista communication skills in explaining products, and a natural coffee shop atmosphere.

Abstract:
Today, labor union membership has dropped to its lowest level in over 40 years. Attempts to boost aggregate union membership through large scale organizing drives have largely failed. This has placed a great deal of pressure on unions to provide services to existing union members. This would seem to be especially true for labor unions operating in right-to-work states where union members can simply quit the union if they are not satisfied with the union's efforts. Accordingly, this project sought to explain the extent to which local unions have been successful in achieving desirable bargaining outcomes for their members through the exercise of bargaining power. The purpose of this project was to assess the relationship between sources of plant-level bargaining power and changes in collective bargaining outcomes in an open-shop environment. Sources of power were grouped into those over which the union had relatively greater control (strikes, union strength, and decertification attempts) and those over the employer had relatively greater control (bargaining unit employment, plant closure communications, and degree of labor intensity). A three-page survey questionnaire was employed to collect plant-level data from Virginia and Iowa representing sources of bargaining power relevant to specific time periods to help identify whether sources of bargaining power were more or less effective in securing bargaining outcomes favorable to the local union during episodes of union militancy. Results demonstrate that strike incidence and union strength, two consistent traditional predictors of various bargaining outcomes were ineffective as sources of union bargaining power at least for these samples. Strike duration did lead to greater bargaining outcomes for union members in Iowa. Decertification activity was so low in these samples that meaningful relationships were not possible. Changes in bargaining unit employment, over which the employer has relatively greater influence were directly related to bargaining outcomes in the Iowa sample of plants which did not experience strikes. In Virginia, the threat of a plant closure by an employer during an impasse lead to lower bargaining outcomes for union members as predicted. The degree of labor intensity was unrelated to changes in bargaining outcomes for either state. When considering all significant relationships (supportive and nonsupportive), strikes demonstrated a particularly disruptive influence. Research results suggested that future research should consider industrial, union affiliation, and regional differences in plant level studies.

Abstract:
Coastal waterbodies and their catchments have been highly modified, leading to altered flushing and eutrophication. Strategies to manage water flow to either maintain water levels or reduce salt-water intrusion and mitigate impacts to coastal waterbodies include engineering approaches such as the construction of surge barriers and river diversions and manipulation of sandbars. Climate change is increasingly impacting coastal waterbodies with predictions of increased drying and significant changes to rainfall patterns. Consequently, engineering management strategies are likely to increase, but it is unclear how biogeochemistry and benthic cycling in coastal waterbodies will be affected, and how to manage the likely eutrophication issues that ensue. Therefore, the aim of this project was to determine how organic matter and nutrients are transported and cycled within a heavily modified intermittently closed/open lakes and lagoons (ICOLL). The Vasse Wonnerup Wetland System (VWWS) is a modified eutrophic ICOLL in southwestern Australia. It has been managed for over 100 years and has multiple surge barriers, river diversions, an oxygenation plant, and an artificially managed sandbar. In addition, significant portions of the VWWS seasonally dry out, making it an ideal system to study the effects of climate change to coastal systems which are likely to experience similar modifications as the VWWS. Stable isotope analyses and mixing models showed that the particulate organic matter (POM) in the system is derived mainly from autochthonous sources (fringing vegetation and aquatic macrophytes). Similarly, compound-specific stable isotopes showed that the sources of dissolved organic matter (DOM) are mainly autochthonous and dominated by dissolved organic nitrogen (DON). The extremely low ( < detection limit) concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN; nitrate and ammonium) in the basin water column suggests that DON is crucial to sustaining a DIN supply in the VWWS through decomposition and tight cycling between DON and DIN. Currently, national and international management guidelines focus on inorganic nutrient concentrations as indicators of unacceptable concentrations (trigger values) and management strategies are generally focused upon reducing allochthonous (external) dissolved inorganic nutrients (i.e., nitrate, ammonium, and phosphate). This study shows that the focus of management on inorganic nutrients may not be well placed in this type of system. Benthic flux experiments demonstrated that water column DO and seasonal drying of the sediment did not affect dissolved organic C, N or P fluxes significantly but did influence benthic metabolism with higher rates occurring in high water column DO conditions. Despite this, benthic metabolism remained anaerobic. Surprisingly, decreasing water column DO did not influence net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions indicating increasing water column DO will not decrease GHG emissions. Oxygenation of the water column did increase N removal, with higher net N2 effluxes with increasing water column DO. Bioavailable nitrogen pools the water column were supplemented in low DO conditions by N2O, with consumption of N2O occurring during dark hours. The lack of significant effects from DO manipulation treatments on many of the measured nutrient species indicate that maintenance of water column oxic conditions, regardless of the concentrations are unlikely to be effective in promoting removal or storage of nutrients in eutrophic systems. Increasing drying out of coastal waterbodies will have impacts on benthic metabolism, however this issue may become system specific depending on sandbar and surge barrier management strategies influencing water levels. Overall, this study confirmed the importance of autochthonous OM contributions and cycling in an ICOLL, whilst highlighting the impacts of engineered modifications in this type of coastal waterbody and its catchment.

Abstract:
Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Intermittently Closed and Open Lakes and Lagoons (ICOLLs) are coastal waterbodies that have intermittent connection to the ocean due to the formation of a barrier across the entrance. Catchment development is a major cause of pollution and also a justification for artificial barrier openings, which can have an adverse effect on the flora and fauna of ICOLLs. In most cases barrier openings may not have a direct effect on the biota of ICOLLs, but they can affect the factors which may influence invertebrate faunal and fish assemblages. The overall aim of this study was to determine what factors may influence fish assemblages of Central Coast ICOLLs. In order to understand these factors the research looked at the general ecology of Central Coast ICOLLs, including their invertebrate faunal assemblages and environmental parameters that may influence them (Chapter 3). Vegetated habitats within Central Coast ICOLLs include Ruppia sp. and the algae Chara sp. and Entermorpha intestinalis that support an invertebrate fauna dominated by polychaetes, crustaceans and molluscs. No single environmental variable had a major influence in structuring the invertebrate faunal assemblages at all four Central Coast ICOLLs. However, salinity was a major influencing factor at Cockrone, Avoca and Terrigal Lagoons, with percentage sediment composition a major factor at Wamberal Lagoon. Recruitment processes of larval and juvenile fishes are also presumably influenced by the status of the barrier. Larval and juvenile fishes occurring in Central Coast ICOLLs and their adjacent surf zones were identified to determine if movement of various species occurs once the barrier has been opened (Chapter 4). In this study, larval and juvenile fishes were more abundant in Central Coast ICOLLs but had lower species richness compared to their adjacent surf zones. The dominant larval and juvenile fish species found in ICOLLs included Ambassis jacksoniensis (Terrigal Lagoon), Philypnodon grandiceps (Avoca and Wamberal Lagoons) Atherinosoma microstoma (Wamberal Lagoon) and Acanthopagrus australis (Cockrone Lagoon). Hyperlophus vittatus was the dominant species collected from the adjacent surf zones. In this study there were no significant changes in larval and juvenile fish assemblages in either habitat from before to after barrier openings. Although some marine spawning species such as A. australis were present it could not be determined if these species were recruited from adjacent surf zones or from within these ICOLLs themselves. In most cases, Central Coast ICOLLs are considered to be generally self-recuiting environments, not for all species, but for many of their resident species of fish. Chapter Five determined the effects environmental parameters have on influencing fish assemblages. Fish assemblages of Central Coast ICOLLs showed low species richness, but high abundances of particular species when sampled using seine nets and multi-panel gillnets.Acanthopagrus australis (Cockrone Lagoon), Atherinosoma microstoma (Avoca and Wamberal Lagoons) and Ambassis jacksoniensis (Terrigal Lagoon) were the numerically dominant fish species collected using seine nets. Mugil cephalus was the species which was overall most frequently collected by gill netting. Fish assemblages were shown to be significantly different between Central Coast ICOLLs, and in this case were not directly influenced by barrier openings except at Wamberal Lagoon. However, Terrigal Lagoon, which had more barrier openings over the study period, compared to the other three ICOLLs, did have a higher diversity of fishes, which indicates that frequent barrier openings can influence fish assemblages. The major environmental influence on fish assemblages collected by seine nets at Cockrone and Wamberal Lagoons was salinity, and water temperature at Avoca and Terrigal Lagoons. The major environmental influence on fish assemblages collected by multi-panel gill nets at Cockrone and Avoca Lagoons was salinity, and water temperature at Terrigal Lagoon and >212 μm percentage sediment grain size at Wamberal Lagoon. Also, stochastic factors in the times and durations of barrier openings may play a large part in determining the fish assemblages that may be present at any one time in individual ICOLLs. High abundances of fish and their isolation from the ocean for long periods can result in competition for limited food resources, along with the effects that barrier openings may have on these resources not being fully understood (Chapter 6). Gut contents for each dominant species examined were similar; however each fish species had a dietary preference for a particular taxonomic group. Amphipods were the main dietary component of Acanthopagrus australis and Atherinosoma microstoma, with zooplankton being the main dietary component of Ambassis jacksoniensis. Barrier openings had a significant effect on the diets of A. australis (in Cockrone Lagoon) and A. microstoma (in Wamberal Lagoon), but not for species examined from Avoca and Terrigal Lagoons. Trace metal concentrations in sediments of Central Coast and Near-South Coast ICOLLs and gonad and liver tissues of Mugil cephalus were determined (Chapter 7). In the six ICOLLs studied, trace metal concentrations in both sediments and fish tissues were found to be relatively low and below guideline levels. Concentration levels did not differ significantly when compared between near-pristine (Termeil and Meroo Lakes), modified (Avoca and Terrigal Lagoons) and extensively-modified (Cockrone and Wamberal Lagoons) ICOLLs. Trace metal concentrations in sediments were not influenced by barrier openings. This study has shown that ICOLLs which are located geographically close to each other generally do not have similar environmental characteristics or fish assemblages which can be attributed to varying levels of development and land use activities within their individual catchments.

Abstract:
Trade unions have been in existence for many years. Although their introduction was generally met with resistance, since their establishment trade unions have been important agents of social change worldwide. Over the years, trade unions have been involved in politics and other societal activities. In South Africa, trade unions for many years not only fought for worker’s rights within the workplace but also beyond the workplace. Trade unions started as friendly societies aimed at assisting their members with various matters, including offering financial help for education purposes and also in cases of illnesses. Although the main purpose of trade unions is to regulate relations between employees and their employers, trade unions perform other functions in society which can be broadly referred to as their social responsibility role. Unlike corporate social responsibility, which is recognised and formalised, trade union social responsibility is not, with the role and importance of social responsibility for trade unions having been largely ignored. This thesis aims at changing this by investigating their core responsibilities and their social responsibilities and subsequently making recommendations on how trade unions could recognise and accommodate their social responsibilities in their activities. It also considers factors that could assist trade unions in fulfilling their social responsibilities. Trade unions generally obtain legislative support for their core responsibilities, but not their social responsibilities; however this should not obstruct trade unions in such endeavours. As modern organisations it is high time that trade unions make a contribution towards sustainable development through their social responsibility role.

Abstract:
Perhaps the most characteristic of all minor landforms on exposed granite surfaces approaching horizontality are flat-bottomed or, less commonly, hemispherical hollows ranging in diameter from 15–20 cm to a few metres. They are known under a variety of local names, such as Opferkessel in German, pias in Spanish, vasques in French, or gnamma, which is an Aboriginal word occasionally used in Australia (e.g. Twidale and Corbin, 1963). In English, these superficial features are collectively described as weathering pits. They are not unique to granite, but are also abundant in sandstone and occur in other lithologies too. A remarkable flatness of floors of many shallow pits is reflected in another name present throughout the literature, namely that of a ‘pan’ (e.g. Twidale and Corbin, 1963; Fairbridge, 1968; Dzulynski and Kotarba, 1979). However, and despite a more accurate reflection of the form, the term ‘pan’ for weathering pits has fallen into disfavour, apparently because an identical name is used to describe much larger, closed topographic depressions within low-angle surfaces in arid lands. The majority of weathering pits are either closed features or there is a narrow outlet in the form of a channel trending away from the pit (Plate 4.1). Another type is an ‘armchair pit’, which grows into the rock surface from the side of an outcrop. These are hemispherical and wide open. At many localities pits may coalesce to form extensive networks, or else they are joined by channel-like features. Weathering pits in granite show a wide range of dimensions. Hollows in excess of 10 m long and 3 m deep have been reported, and the largest ever described is probably one in Australia, measuring 18.3 x 4.6 x 1.8 m (Twidale and Corbin, 1963). Unfortunately, there are very few systematic measurements of large populations of pits, and this severely restricts any attempts to generalize about the size of pits. Goudie and Migoń (1997) provided such a data set for two outcrops in the central Namib Desert. An interesting observation is that weathering pits in this arid area are much larger than their counterparts in humid temperate latitudes.

Abstract:
The management of the information technology in a virtual medical service centre is subject to different requirements than the IT-management of a hospital resembling more a closed shop. Building a virtual centre calls for performance of an open shop principle, because the entire treatment chain cannot be mapped within one single institution, but requires integrated cooperation in order to manage a patient’s clinical pathway. Not only the spatial displacement, but also the unavoidable higher process orientation within a virtual cooperation deserves particular consideration. Additionally, the information management is challenged by the fact that the provision of relevant information in standardised form is an indispensable element of a virtual centre. In this context, the question about potential structural assembling, and organisational principles and elements of virtual medical service centres has to be answered in order to conclude on the basic requirements of data management and the appropriate solution approaches. This shall be presented partly using the example of the virtual oncological medical centre in Tyrol.

Abstract:
There are certain places on California’s Central Coast where the scent from stands of eucalyptus can penetrate your car even with the windows closed, although the smell is so inviting you are tempted to open them a bit.1 You can have equally interesting scent experiences driving east through the California and Nevada deserts after a rain when you can inhale the pungent smell of sage and creosote bush. Or consider the fact that sometimes you can smell rain before it comes, first from the ozone in the air produced by electrical discharges, and then, especially if you are in arid regions, from the smell of geosmin released from the earth. As Cynthia Barnett points out, you can inhale an especially intense version of earth odors in some rural areas of India, West Africa, or Australia that experience the climatic extremes of months of no rain followed by stretches of monsoon. Back in 1964 two Australian scientists discovered that a major source of this odor were geosmin, a soil-dwelling bacteria, and terpenes secreted by plants.

Abstract:
Model tests were conducted on two 1:100 scaled models of a typical concrete gravity substructure at the University of Western Australia. The two models had dimensions 0.5m length × 0.5m width with the first model being a sealed closed bottom box of height 0.1m and the second model being an open bottom box with skirt length of 0.1m. The open bottom model had the capacity to hold an air cushion with dimensions 0.49m width × 0.49m length × 0.08m height. Each model was floated at a constant draft of 0.1m and tested in water depths ranging between 0.03m (shallow) and 0.8m (deep). The environment comprised of regular waves with periods ranging between 0.6s and 3.5s and amplitude of 0.08m–0.02m. To quantify the dynamic response the heave and pitch motion of each model were measured. The model test results were compared with a theoretical solution based on long wavelength, linear wave assumptions applied to a box shaped floating vessel without an internal free surface. Results show that experimental trends compare reasonably well with analytical solution. Added mass values were predicted from heave and pitch decay tests. The results show that introducing air cushion support into a CGS increases the pitch response, while having little effect of the heave motion. The theory is also used to delineate regions of safe and unsafe tow-out operations of the air cushion structure.

Abstract:
Bulk products such as iron ore and coal are usually shipped directly from shore facilities using large bulk carriers. This often involves significant cost due to major dredging operations, long jetties, large storage sheds and the acquisition of large tracts of coastal land. The costs of direct shore to an ocean-going export vessel (OGV) loading often run into billions of dollars — prohibitive for small- to medium-scale mining operations, particularly in remote regions with only distant access to deep water ports. The current industry standard for mitigating these issues is transhipping; the bulk cargo is transported from a smaller shore based facility to the export vessel moored in deep water by a small feeder vessel. Transhipment, while mitigating many of these issues, does introduce other concerns with respect to limiting seastate, environmentally harmful dust and potential spillage during materials transfer. The Australian company Sea Transport Corporation and the Australian Maritime College at the University of Tasmania are developing new technology for bulk ore transhipment: the floating harbour transhipper (FHT). The FHT is essentially a large floating warehouse with an aft well dock to support material transfer operations from the feeder vessel. The major advantages to the mining export industry are in the form of environmental and economic improvements, in some cases completely avoiding expensive dredging while minimising the environmentally invasive onshore infrastructure. In addition, the whole process is enclosed, therefore eliminating grab spillage and dust transport issues common to other transhipping methods. This paper presents an overview of the main hydrodynamic issues currently being investigated: primarily the interaction between multiple floating bodies close to one another in a seaway. The two primary ship-to-ship interactions that are being investigated are the effects experienced by the feeder vessel when it is docking or undocking within the FHT well dock and the interactions between the three vessels when operating in close proximity in an open seaway. A combination of physical scale model experiments and numerical techniques is employed, with a significant portion of the experimental program dedicated to the validation of the numerical simulation codes used to investigate the behaviour of the vessels. ShipMo3D is an object based library developed by DRDC for the purpose of analysing the seakeeping performance of vessels operating in a seaway in either the frequency or time domain. The capabilities of ShipMo3D are applied to this novel application in an attempt to provide realistic simulations of the interaction between the vessels of the FHT system. DualSPHysics, an open source Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) code, is being applied to the domain within the very restricted water environment of the FHT well dock to investigate the fluid flow behaviour and the effect that this has on the feeder vessel when entering/exiting.

Abstract:
Abstract On 07.07.1939 the Neuchatel gas turbine passed its performance test under the supervision of Aurel Stodola [1]. This was the world’s first open gas turbine for electric power generation in commercial operation. It launched the past eighty year period of further development and corresponding market growth. The Baden area played an important role. The aim of this paper is to complete the already published comprehensive historical information with two additional aspects especially regarding the second 40 years, in which the author was an involved contemporary witness: The first is how the predominance of something like a local spirit integrated both a considerable share of foreign engineering staff and also the changes of the ownership of the technology from Brown Boveri to ABB and then to Alstom and recently to GE and Ansaldo. The second aspect is the inside view of the author, who has both shaped and suffered these gas turbine developments in several job positions allowing direct contact to both top management and shop floor workers. These two aspects will be integrated in the historical sequence. As a rule the roles of the persons acting after the seventies are given but not their names. The history of the involved companies has caught much attention of media and writers. After the formation of ABB it was used for both celebrating outstanding management performance and despicable management mistake. I will add as an engineer my insider view to this and mention the corresponding book references. This paper is limited to the mainstream open GT development for space reasons and therefore omits other interesting side developments of BBC such as closed Helium cycles, IGCC applications and compressed air energy storage as well as the other products of BBC, which all played a role in equalizing the business cycles.

Abstract:
In order to maximize assets, manufacturers should use real-time knowledge garnered from ongoing and continuous collection and evaluation of factory-floor machine status data. In discrete parts manufacturing, factory machine monitoring has been difficult, due primarily to closed, proprietary automation equipment that make integration difficult. Recently, there has been a push in applying the data acquisition concepts of MTConnect to the real-time acquisition of machine status data. MTConnect is an open, free specification aimed at overcoming the “Islands of Automation” dilemma on the shop floor. With automated asset analysis, manufacturers can improve production to become lean, efficient, and effective. The focus of this paper will be on the deployment of MTConnect to collect real-time machine status to automate asset management. In addition, we will leverage the ISO 22400 standard, which defines an asset and quantifies asset performance metrics. In conjunction with these goals, the deployment of MTConnect in a large aerospace manufacturing facility will be studied with emphasis on asset management and understanding the impact of machine Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) on manufacturing.
