The Development of Human Behaviour: How you get it then it gets you
No full textIn this informative and entertaining session, Professor Alan patching will take you through the steps in the development of human behaviour and show how much of what we do is done subconsciously, for better AND for worse in terms of effect on others AND ourselves. Alan will show how the best of our behaviour contributes to others' perception of our personalities and then, when we misapply or overdo the very strengths by which we become corporately identified, they become weaknesses in the eyes of those affected, often to the detriment of our relationships and careers. He will relate this phenomena of human psychology to real life situations from his decades in senior management before entering the world of research and academia, and discuss how self and other awareness, two major pillars of modern Emotional Intelligence, can help us relate much better to the communities which we serve
Stadium: The Project Director's Diary
No full textA magnificent collection of photographs tracing the building of this World's Best Stadium from the ground up.Alan Patching was the Project Director overseeing construction of the Stadium, and the diary he began in the earliest days of construction in 1996 offers an insight into the everyday trials and tribulations, frustrations and successes and colourful characters involved in delivery of Australia's highest profile building project of recent years. years.Rich in anecdotes, blending fact, humour and emotion Patching's diaries recall the detail of some of the most complex construction activity undertaken in Australia, alongside fascinating tales of 6000 workers from 60 different ethnic backgrounds working together.Candid and 'unstaged' photographs taken by team members throughout the building process enable the reader to experience from their armchairs a taste of what it might have been like to be involved in the design and construction
Resource Therapy In Depth

Patching sulfur vacancies: A versatile approach for achieving ultrasensitive gas sensors based on transition metal dichalcogenides
No full textTransition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) garner significant attention for their potential to create high-performance gas sensors. Despite their favorable properties such as tunable bandgap, high carrier mobility, and large surface-to-volume ratio, the performance of TMDCs devices is compromised by sulfur vacancies, which reduce carrier mobility. To mitigate this issue, we propose a simple and universal approach for patching sulfur vacancies, wherein thiol groups are inserted to repair sulfur vacancies. The sulfur vacancy patching (SVP) approach is applied to fabricate a MoS2-based gas sensor using mechanical exfoliation and all-dry transfer methods, and the resulting 4-nitrothiophenol (4NTP) repaired molybdenum disulfide (4NTP-MoS2) is prepared via a sample solution process. Our results show that 4NTP-MoS2 exhibits higher response (increased by 200 %) to ppb-level NO2 with shorter response/recovery times (61/82 s) and better selectivity at 25 °C compared to pristine MoS2. Notably, the limit of detection (LOD) toward NO2 of 4NTP-MoS2 is 10 ppb. Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) and density functional theory (DFT) reveal that the improved gas sensing performance is mainly attributed to the 4NTP-induced n-doping effect on MoS2 and the corresponding increment of surface absorption energy to NO2. Additionally, our 4NTP-induced SVP approach is universal for enhancing gas sensing properties of other TMDCs, such as MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Bio-Electronic
A model driven IDE for M-industries’ Alan
No full textWhile software is becoming increasingly important in our world, software development is also advancing with an increasing pace. One of the reasons is the increase in available information, which triggered the birth of a new programming paradigm: Model Driven Development (henceforth MDD). Though this can shorten the development time and make it easier, there is no real support for this method, and also no fully developed environment. This is where M-industries' Alan is key. A new MDD platform, but with no editor support. That was the initial scope of our project: create an editor capable of supporting Alan. This was no easy task, and so some preliminary research was done, which evaluates existing web-based editors based on the requirements set by us. The main development phase consisted of agile programming cycles where the targets and tasks were subject to changes. This enabled us to focus on creating an intrinsically correct system instead of a fully featured one that needs a lot of patching and cleaning. The result was a well rounded, integrated IDE that has powerful Alan specific features, but may lack some more basic editor features. The IDE was not only developed to aid in model driven development, but was actually developed itself in a model driven way, using M-industries' platform. This allowed for a deep integration with Alan, where the language definition became part of the IDE. To do this, the concept of an "editor state" was introduced, which proved to be an essential an powerful concept for creating an editor for model driven development.Software TechnologyElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Education for the Digital Future
No full textWith over $200 billion committed for infrastructure develop over the coming five years in just the Eastern states of Australia, two questions come to mind for most serious consultants and contractors: "Where can I get appropriately qualified resources to exploit these market opportunities?" & "How can I be sure my current people are fully equipped to meet the opportunities and challenges ahead?" This presentation by Alan, the coordinator of the launch of the country's first bSA accredited university post graduate programs, will answer those questions, and mor
