This study explores the exchange of cultural information that takes place in the meeting between immigrant and non-immigrant characters in a selection of Australian novels focusing on the theme of migration: Heartland (1989) by Angelika Fremd, A Change of Skies (1991) by Yasmine Gooneratne, Stella’s Place (1998) by Jim Sakkas, Hiam (1998) by Eva Sallis and Love and Vertigo (2000) by Hsu-Ming Teo.
This paper presents a novel convolutional neural network (CNN)-based control chart for detecting localized and subtle speckle shifts (displacements) in the images. To enhance detection accuracy, especially in detecting localized and simultaneous shifts, we design a custom CNN architecture and utilize a training methodology. Moreover, instead of inputting the entire images, we divide them into equa
OBJECTIVES: Asphalt is frequently used as road pavement and consists of bitumen as a binder, and fillers. Bitumen consists of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, where a minor component is polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Many PAHs are classified as carcinogenic to humans. Bitumen fumes from road paving have been classified as possibly carcinogenic. Paving and milling are open processes gen
One of the most interesting features of nuclei is the process by which specific configurations, manifest as collective rotational bands at intermediate spin values, gradually lose their collectivity and terminate in a non-collective state at the maximum spin which can be built within the configuration. Recent advances in both experiment and theory allow the study of this nuclear structure feature
This dissertation discusses various issues relating to Iron Age settlements in the area around the central place of Uppåkra. Most of the sites have been excavated by contract archaeology. The discussion begins with a presentation of the material from the houses in the settlements, detailing the different construction types and discussing the functions and chronological aspects of the houses. The d
We present a microchannel-based adaptation of mass density-gradient centrifugation for the mass density measurement of cells or microparticles. The workflow consists of three basic steps: Microchannel filling, centrifugation, and microscopy. Microchannel filling and subsequent centrifugation of two liquids with different densities allows the instantaneous, precise, and repeatable generation of a o

The structural properties in the ground and the excited states of the hexa-coordinated iron carbene molecule FeIII(phtmeimb)2PF6 were investigated by ultrafast time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS)techniques. Namely X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and Extended X-ray Absorption FineStructure (EXAFS). Data from a time-resolved pump-probe synchrotron radiation experiment was
The separation of hemicelluloses, like glactoglucomannans, from lignocellulosic process streams is an important step in building profitable lignocellulosic biorefineries. The most common method for the separation is membrane filtration, however, it has the draw-back of being sensitive to membrane fouling. To better understand the fouling process, it is desirable to be able to model the adsorption
Cell death is an important field of biology that is linked to many other topics in medicine and biology. One of the methods to investigate cell death is through high content screening (HCS) which makes use of robotic microscopy. By this technology, cell death associated organelle membrane permeabilisation and the localisation of certain dyes can be visualised and elucidate a substantial amount of
In markets with fierce competition and low switching costs, the capability to keep customers is just as important as the capability to get new customers. One of the cornerstones of efficiently keeping customers from churning is the ability to identify customers that are more prone to leaving the company than others. This way, churn prevention resources and measures can be efficiently directed towa
The aim of this thesis was to explore the experience of and reasoning about social pressure to which senior citizens have been subjected to during the covid-19 pandemic. Our research consisted of eight semistructured interviews with pensioners over the age of 65, which reflect our qualitative approach. The theoretical framework of the analysis was Scott & Lyman's (1968) theory of accounts,
To be able to automatically segment cells in microscopic images would give biologist a new tool to gather crucial data in quantities not possible by manual work. This is however not a trivial problem and has proven to be very difficult, especially if the images are in 3D. One of the major challenges is the ability for the methods to generalize beyond the data it has previously been presented with.
Citizen dialogue is something that within planning is advocate now today. It helps planners to gain valuable information about place and space but it also strengthens democracy. The literature often presents perspectives based on what is important to think of within planning, e. g. social justice and inclusion, but little about planner’s actual workload and capabilities. The purpose of this thesis
The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is quite a vast subject. It is used for so many different applications. The most developed area of research has first been to track animals. Nowadays, many pets have a chip hidden in their neck that permits to identify them very specifically as the information in the chip is unique. Some researches have then been oriented on the supply chain area. Unfortu
The future price of the FOREX rate is important for export-dependent countries and companies and the research regarding price prediction of FOREX is skewed towards the major currency pairs, leaving the smaller currency pairs to be unexplored. The study aimed to answer if the Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) or the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is the most suitable model for forecasting the rate of a s
In large corporations, customer support is a costly service, and an area of constant optimization. Solutions to increase efficiency and decrease bottlenecks are constantly needed. One such bottleneck is support tool proficiency in a customer support organization where many different tools are used, and a potential solution is to let the tool guide the user as it is being used. This thesis explores
