The Sputtering and Characterization of C-Axis Oriented Aluminium Nitride Thin Films On Top Of Cubic Silicon Carbide-On-Silicon Substrates for Piezoelectric Applications
No full textThe growth of micro-scale wireless electronics is increasing significantly because of their miniaturisation and low power consumption. These devices currently draw power from batteries or chemical fuel cells. Their limited life-spans prompt active research to find an alternative solution by harvesting ambient energy from the environment. Numerous sources are available such as solar, thermoelectric, acoustic, and mechanical vibrations. Among them, mechanical vibration is perhaps the most practical to power these wireless electronic devices via piezoelectric transduction. Three most common piezoelectric materials are Lead zirconate titanate (PZT), zinc oxide (ZnO) and aluminum nitride (AlN). AlN is preferred over ZnO and PZT for several reasons. Chiefly among them is because it has the highest electromechanical coupling along the c-axis of wurzite AlN for longitudinal deformation. This thesis investigates the sputtering of c-axis oriented AlN on top of cubic-silicon carbide-on-silicon (3C-SiC-on-Si) substrates for piezoelectric applications. The 3C-SiC buffer layer was used to reduce the lattice mismatch and thermal expansion coefficient between AlN and Si. In the first part of the research, RF sputtering was utilised for depositing AlN. The low growth rate of RF sputtering prompted the switch to DC sputtering. The DC sputtering suffered from electrical arching problems, which were addressed by gradually decreasing the sputtering pressure. However, the system had the limitation of 1200 W of maximum power.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Griffith School of EngineeringScience, Environment, Engineering and TechnologyFull Tex
A legal analysis of planning scheme complexity in Queensland: Understanding the problem and exploring the benefits and limitations of a risk-based response to it
No full textMy research applies risk theory to the long-standing problem of planning scheme complexity in Queensland. For the purpose of my thesis, planning scheme complexity has two elements. Firstly, the process of preparing a planning scheme is complex, taking years and costing a lot of money. Secondly, the documents created out of the process are unclear and their lack of clarity generates uncertainty.
Much has been written to criticise planning schemes in terms of their complexity but it is a legal problem that, so far, defies solving. Before the problem can be solved, there is a need to understand planning scheme complexity and its fundamental cause/s. My thesis provides that understanding but it goes further. It provides a novel and significant contribution to the debate by exploring the potential application of risk-based regulation (RBR) to help understand the causes of complexity and then address them. RBR has gained popularity and generated excitement in the regulatory space. It has become widely endorsed as a way to achieve better regulatory outcomes. My thesis provides a deep analysis of the causes of complexity and identifies where a risk-based response to planning scheme complexity is well suited and where other responses are needed. It highlights that RBR is useful in helping to understand the causes of planning scheme complexity. It also shows, as a regulatory response to planning scheme complexity, RBR offers some potential benefits but it also suffers from some important limitations.
The substantive part of my thesis begins with an overview of RBR. An understanding of RBR is critically important to my thesis because I apply it to provide a novel way to understand and address planning scheme complexity in Queensland. Presenting my research about risk, up front, has allowed me to investigate the relevance of risk concepts to my discussion of the causes of planning scheme complexity as well as the potential role of risk theory in addressing it. To varying degrees, my research about risk permeates my entire thesis. It informs my conclusions about a response to planning scheme complexity but it also helped me piece together the causes of planning scheme complexity. In particular, in analysing the causes of the problem, I apply concepts such as risk perception, risk appetite, trade-offs, societal and institutional risk.1
After introducing the concept of RBR, I trace the evolution of planning scheme complexity, which identifies that the start of the problem aligns with the introduction of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (Qld) (the IPA). Identifying that the problem started with the IPA guided me to a legal analysis of those reforms, bringing to light that the introduction of two key aspects of the IPA reforms fundamentally shaped planning schemes. Introducing ecological sustainability (ES) as a purpose for planning broadened the scope and complexity of planning scheme goals. Introducing performance-based planning (PBP) changed the way that planning schemes regulate. Logically, my research moves on to deeply analyse those two concepts, unearthing that (a) the challenge of advancing ES complicates the process of preparing a planning scheme and leads to a lack of clarity around planning scheme goals; and (b) Queensland’s implementation of PBP has favoured the production of unclear planning scheme provisions that advance uncertainty.
My thesis provides a deep analysis of ES as a cause of planning scheme complexity. Attempting to prepare a planning scheme that balances goals to advance the community’s economic, social/cultural and ecological wellbeing is complex. It is not a matter of giving each element of ES equal weight. The appropriate balance between the elements of ES depends on what is most important, in each context, but there is no objectively ‘right’ answer to that question. Local governments are given the discretionary power (and responsibility) to shape the balance between these considerations. Paralysed by the complexity and institutional risk that arises out of deciding the weight that ought to be given to each element of ES, local governments are eschewing their responsibility to clearly articulate meaningful planning scheme goals. Without clear goals, it becomes difficult to prepare a planning scheme that clearly articulates measures to advance them. The complexity of choices about ES not only complicates the process of preparing a planning scheme; it can also manifest itself in the resulting document, lead to planning schemes that provide an incomplete and unclear picture about how planning decisions will be made.
The lack of clarity in planning schemes also arises out of the way that PBP has been implemented. Queensland’s implementation of PBP has overemphasised flexibility and produced uncertainty because local governments are not allowed to choose to prohibit development and because of a misconception that vague planning schemes align with PBP. The result is a distortion of PBP that leads to planning schemes which are less clear than might otherwise be the case. What is more, because there is a lack of understanding of PBP, local councils are able to hide behind rhetoric about a need to encourage flexibility in PBP schemes in order to avoid being more transparent about decisions about ES.
The key to producing clearer and more succinct planning schemes is to address the causes of complexity. Armed with an understanding of the problem and its causes, my thesis identifies the benefits and limitations of a risk-based response to planning scheme complexity. It identifies where a risk-based response to the causes of planning scheme complexity is well suited and where other responses are needed. It contributes ideas about how to reduce the complexity of the process of preparing a planning scheme and the resultant document itself.
I explore the application of RBR to help local governments choose the shape of (and clearly articulate) their planning scheme goals. I highlight the limitations of applying RBR to this end, concluding that it fails to sufficiently answer questions about how to synthesise and weigh up expert knowledge and knowledge about values in order to make complex decisions. If local governments are to be successful in deciding upon and declaring their planning scheme goals, they need a more specific decision-making tool that can help them navigate those matters. Participatory multi-criteria decision analysis (PMCDA) is one such tool that could help local governments build the courage to decide and declare their planning goals. PMCDA does not dissolve the need to make complex decisions or value judgments but it provides an aid to manage their complexity. Ultimately, the process of preparing a planning scheme will continue to be complex but putting the effort in would be worthwhile because the planning scheme created out of the process can be clearer if it is based on clear goals.
However, even with clearly declared goals, planning schemes will continue to be unclear unless there is an understanding that clarity is consistent with PBP. In Queensland, PBP underpins the way in which planning schemes regulate development but there is confusion about the role of clear and measurable performance criteria. There is a misconception that vague and subjective planning scheme provisions align with PBP because they allow for flexibility. For that reason, I propose the need for a legislative definition of PBP and I argue in favour of legislating to allow local governments to choose to categorise development as prohibited where it represents a proportionate response to risk. If a prohibition represents a proportionate response to risk, it is the simplest and most appropriate way to send a clear and concise message about when development is so risky that it is inappropriate.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Griffith Law SchoolArts, Education and LawFull Tex

Additive Manufacturing of Bonded NdFeB Magnets by Selective Laser Sintering
No full textPermanent magnets are used in many everyday devices to assist in the conversion of electronic energy into mechanical energy. Traditional manufacturing pathways are well established, however, they inherently suffer from long lead times and high costs for low volume production runs. A technique known as additive manufacturing (colloquially 3D printing) has been applied to many industries using a multitude of materials with success in reducing both product development times and cost for prototypes and low volume production runs. Due to this reported success, several additive manufacturing techniques have been investigated in order to rapidly produce magnets of custom geometries using isotropic magnetic material (specifically neodymium-iron-boron). Although some of these techniques have shown promise, many require pre-processing of the raw powders into a filament or fluid suspension, thus increasing the number of steps in the process. As permanent magnet raw material is commercially available in powdered form, it was hypothesised that a powder-based additive manufacturing technique known as selective laser sintering could be used to produce permanent magnets by mechanical alloying of magnetic powder with a powdered polymer binder. It was further hypothesised that by combining the use of high energy anisotropic magnetic powder with an in-situ alignment fixture, as used in the industrial manufacturing process, permanent magnets with higher performance than those produced using additive manufacturing from isotropic powders. Accordingly, there were three key aims in this research project: ii Additive Manufacturing of Bonded NdFeB Magnets by Selective Laser Sintering Develop a selective laser sintering machine from off-the-shelf components and compare the geometrical and mechanical properties of the produced polyamide-12 parts with that of a commercial machine. Using two commercially available isotropic magnetic powders with flake and sphere particle morphologies mixed with polyamide-12 powder, determine the processing parameters and mixing ratios which lead to magnets with the most accurate geometrical and strongest mechanical and magnetic properties. Develop and test an in-situ particle alignment fixture and examine its effect on the geometrical and magnetic properties of magnets produced from anisotropic magnetic powder mixed with polyamide-12. The first experimental chapter (Chapter 3) covers designing, building and validating the tool required to conduct the research which is a selective laser sintering machine produced solely from off-the-shelf parts. Over the next two chapters (Chapters 4 and 5), the influence of machine processing parameters (laser power = 0.5 – 1.17 W, scan spacing = 0.11, 0.22, 0.31 mm) and powder loading fraction (0 – 90%/vol) on the properties of magnets produced from two commercially available neodymium-iron-boron powders was examined. By examining the geometrical, mechanical and magnetic properties, preferred processing parameters and mixing ratios could be identified based on their deviation from model data and highest mechanical and magnetic strength. Next (Chapter 6), an in-situ alignment fixture based upon a Helmholtz coil was proposed and a prototype developed. The ability of the coil to impart torque to anisotropic particles while minimising translational forces was examined using images captured with an optical microscope then evaluated using image processing techniques to characterise the percentage of loose particles it could align. Finally (Chapter 7), the Helmholtz coil-based alignment fixture was added to the selective laser sintering machine where it was used to provide an alignment field to each layer of anisotropic powder prior to consolidation by the laser. The geometry, density and magnetic properties of the permanent magnets were examined in the presence and absence of the alignment field. The constructed selective laser sintering machine was demonstrated to produce parts from polyamide-12 reaching densities of 918 ± 9 kg/m3 and achieving an elastic Additive Manufacturing of Bonded NdFeB Magnets by Selective Laser Sintering iii modulus of 358.36 ± 3.04 MPa and elongation at break of 11.13 ± 0.02%. Permanent magnets produced from the mechanically alloyed commercial powders demonstrated the best properties with a supplied energy density of 0.255 J/mm2 possessing comparable magnetic characteristics to those produced with other AM methods (311 ± 9 and 363 ± 6 mT for the flake and spherical powders respectively). It was also demonstrated that magnetic powder loading fractions above 30%/vol for the spheres and 50%/vol for the flakes showed no significant increases in magnetic performance while the mechanical performance deteriorated significantly. An in-situ alignment fixture, based upon a Helmholtz coil, demonstrated 30% alignment of a selection of particles according to optical image analysis of randomly orientated flake particles. When used during the processing of magnets, the magnetic performance, when using anisotropic powder, was shown to increase by 28%. However, the low loose packing density of the starting powder (2880 kg/m3) compared to the isotropic powders (3023 kg/m3 for the flakes and 4017 kg/m3 for the spheres) limited the maximum density of the magnets and thus suffered from poorer than expected magnetic performance. The content of this thesis demonstrates the development of an open source-based selective laser sintering machine which was then used to explore the production of permanent magnets from commercially available isotropic and anisotropic powders with the addition of an in-situ alignment fixture.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)School of Eng & Built EnvScience, Environment, Engineering and TechnologyFull Tex

Wellbeing and Occupational Stress in Dentistry Academics
No full textOccupational stress can impact adversely on individuals’ physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing, and have occupational consequences. Dentistry professionals can experience significantly higher levels of occupational stress, and poorer wellbeing, than other health professionals. Previous research on occupational stress among dentistry professionals has demonstrated differences by individual-level personal and professional characteristics, identified work content and work context sources of occupational stress, and indicated that dentists may not be able to relieve their stress properly. Previous research has, however, focused on dentistry clinicians and students, and less is known about dentistry academics who are likely to have different correlates and sources of occupational stress given differences in their occupational role. Therefore, this research program aimed to investigate occupational stress and wellbeing among dentistry academics including individual-level personal and professional characteristics associated with poor wellbeing, common sources of occupational stress and associations with poor wellbeing, and self-care activities and associations with wellbeing.
This research program used a cross-sectional design with a convenience sample of academics in dentistry departments across nine universities in Australia and New Zealand. The thesis comprises three quantitative studies and examined data from an online survey to assess wellbeing, personal and professional characteristics, perfectionism, work content and context sources of occupational stress, and self-care activities. Data were analysed using multiple regression.
A total of 119 people consented to the online survey, with 94 (78.9%) providing complete data. The average age of respondents was 50 (±11.7) years, 56.8% were men, and 67% had more than 10 years’ experience as an academic. Results demonstrated poor wellbeing among this group of dentistry academics, with an average score on the iii Psychological General Wellbeing Index (PGWBI) of 67.0±14.1. Lower scores were obtained on PGWBI dimensions of vitality (58.3±19.4), anxiety (62.0±16.9) and positive wellbeing (62.2±17.2) than other dimensions.
Study one found a significant association between hours of undergraduate teaching and psychological wellbeing, after adjustment for age, gender, income, and overall health (F(6,79)=19.651, p<.001, adj.R2=.56). Dentistry academics doing more than six hours of undergraduate teaching per week had poorer wellbeing than their counterparts (rpb(92)=- .288, p=.005, age r(84)=.315, p<.005). There were no significant bivariate associations between perfectionism, or other personal and professional characteristics, and wellbeing.
Study two found that the leading sources of “substantial” occupational stress were work overload (61% agreement), administration demands (55% agreement), multiple role demands (54% agreement), and time pressure at work (49% agreement). A multiple linear regression model comprising job future, workload and responsibility, job satisfaction, social support, time pressure at work, age, income management, and overall health significantly predicted psychological wellbeing, F(8,77)=13.141, p<.0001, adj.R2=.53, with no significant associations for any of the specific sources of stress with wellbeing.
Study three found that the most common types of self-care done “frequently” were lifestyle (57.8%), exercise (44.4%), and recreational (44.4%) activities. The least frequent were intrapersonal activities (13.3%). The multiple linear regression model comprising self-care domains of intrapersonal, interpersonal, exercise, recreational, and professional activities, with adjustment for age, gender, income management, and overall health significantly predicted psychological wellbeing, F(9,76)=9.705, p<.0001, adj.R2=.53, with no statistically significant associations between any of the individual self-care activity domains and wellbeing.
The findings of this research program contribute to evidence on occupational stress and wellbeing in dentistry academics and can inform workplace interventions. Results suggest that interventions to improve wellbeing in dentistry academics could prioritise those who are younger, with lower income, in poorer health, and/or teaching more than six hours of undergraduate teaching per week. These interventions could include individual-level and organisational-level strategies to help manage time pressure, work overload, administration demands, and multiple role demands; and increase social support and positive perceptions of job future and job satisfaction. Interventions could promote intrapersonal (e.g., gratitude, mindfulness), interpersonal (e.g., social support), and professional self-care activities (e.g., networking skills) given potentially low rates of these. Future research is warranted to extrapolate and confirm these findings with a larger sample, define the study sample homogeneously, and explore the impact of COVID-19 on sources of stress. Future research is also needed to provide a deeper exploration of ‘lived in’ experiences of dentistry academics related to aspects of undergraduate teaching that contribute to poor wellbeing, or specific aspects of the work role that contribute to work overload; and to explore other aspects of intervention delivery such as preferences for duration, frequency, and type of interventions.
If successful, such workplace interventions could reduce the adverse physical, psychological, behavioural, and organisational consequences commonly associated with poor wellbeing and occupational stress among dentistry academics, as well as the financial burden of related compensations claims. In turn these interventions could promote mental and physical wellbeing, and quality of life, as well as organisational indicators such as staff morale and overall work performance and productivity.

Audio recordings of L2 Mandarin speeches by Australian beginner-level learners of Chinese for investigating segmental and tonal errors [Dataset]
No full textThis data was gathered as part of a collaborative research project between researchers at Griffith University, Australia (Chiharu Tsurutani) and Nanjing Normal University, China (Wentao Gu, Ting Zhang, Ping Tang, Lei Liu and Liangping Zhong). The researchers investigated segmental and tonal errors made by Australian learners of L2 Mandarin. The study and its supporting data may be of interest to speech scientists and teachers of Mandarin as frequently observed errors can be treated purposefully in research and teaching. They might also assist with the development of computer-assisted language learning programs for L2 Mandarin. L2 Mandarin speeches by the Australian beginner-level learners were collected on the basis of a phonetically balanced corpus. File 1 contains 22 sentences spoken by Australian learners of Chinese and their annotation. File 2 was compiled in attempt to identify prosodic differences between neutral and polite speech. Three files, 1) Utterances by Chinese native speakers (Text grid and sound files), 2) Utterances by Australian learners of Chinese (sound files) 3) Text grid files of 2) are placed in File 2.Full Tex
Practice-based learning for workers in small business settings
No full textIn Australia, many small business Chinese restaurants (SBCRs) prefer in-house practicebased learning, instead of training in educational institutions, for workers to develop occupational competencies. Practice-based learning involves learning while engaging in work activities, though such on-the-job learning is not recognised or accredited. The study for this thesis examined workers’ practice-based learning experiences in SBCRs. It investigated the practice architectures that enabled and constrained practice-based learning to suggest the most appropriate strategies to support practice-based learning in SBCRs.
The investigation was guided by an overarching research question and three subquestions. The main question was: In what ways do workers in SBCRs engage in learning through everyday work practices? The sub-questions were:
1. How is practice-based learning experienced in SBCRs?
2. What are the factors that enable and constrain practice-based learning in SBCRs?
3. What kinds of pedagogies best support workers’ learning in SBCRs?
The study used the practice theory lens and employed a multiple case study approach to understand the research concerns. Data were collected from semi-structured interviews with 20 workers and managers, and site observations at 11 participating restaurants in southeast Queensland, Australia. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify how practice architectures enable and constrain workers’ practice-based learning in their workplaces.
The findings highlighted workers’ experiences of practice-based learning to develop occupational competencies that were generic as well as site specific. The study emphasised the practical value of practice-based learning for workers in SBCRs. The enabling and constraining features informed ways to enhance practice-based learning for workers in SBCRs. A significant finding related to the contributions of ethnic Chinese cultural practices in supporting workers’ learning. Moreover, the understandings about Chinese ethnic culture suggest approaches for workers to secure access to tacit knowledge and skills from experts who normally guard the tricks of their trade. These approaches could be considered by novice workers and students gaining practical experiences in SBCRs.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)School Educ & Professional StGriffith Business SchoolFull Tex
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
