Between July 2015 and April 2017, she was foundation Director of the Peter Underwood Centre for Educational Attainment at the University of Tasmania. The Centre is part of the formal ten-year partnership agreement between the University and Tasmanian Government in association with the Office of the Governor of Tasmania. Prior to that time, she was a member of the School of Geography and Environmental Studies, and its head from 2005 to 2013.Internationally recognised and valued for research in human geography, Elaine works to understand how people flourish in place, in their movements, in daily life, and over their lives. Studies with children and young people in island places have been a particular feature of Elaine's work, and she is adept at working with those from other disciplines, including - but not limited to - sociology, health science, anthropology, visual arts, politics, ecology, and education.Deeply committed to service, Elaine has extensive experience on University, local, Tasmanian, and federal government committees, school boards, and international professional organisations. She is or has been:* the elected academic member of University Council* an elected member of Academic Senate* a member of the Australian Research Council College of Experts* a Fellow of the Institute of Australian Geographers, Royal Society of Arts and of the Royal Geographical Society/Institute of British Geographers* a Senior Honorary Fellow of the LH Martin Institute at the University of MelbourneElaine has served the Tasmanian community on numerous occasions - for example, as Chair of the Southern Regional Reference Group for Economic Development, Chair of the Human Settlements Committee for the State of the Environment Report, and community member on the Auditor General's Advisory Committee.Elaine has also participated in numerous national and international organisations including, but not limited to, the following:* Member of the Board of Directors, Global Islands Network (2002-2010)* from 2002-6, Councillor (Treasurer) and member Institute of Australian Geographers (1999–)* Executive Member, International Geographical Union Commission on Islands (2006- )* Executive Member, International Small Island Studies Association (2006- )* 12/2015–18, Editor-in-Chief, Geographical Research (Journal of the Institute of Australian Geographers.

No full textCode comparison of a NREL-FAST model of the Levenmouth wind turbine with the GH bladed commissioning results
Get PDFThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from ASME via the DOI in this record.This paper describes the process adopted to set up a FAST model to produce relevant design load cases (DLCs) for the Levenmouth (Samsung Heavy Industries - S7.0-171) demonstration foreshore wind turbine owned by the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult (ORE Catapult). The paper does not take into account hydrodynamic forces. Existing literature has carried out FAST studies predominantly using reference turbines (e.g. NREL-5MW, DTU-10MW) instead of real prototype or commercial turbines. This paper presents the results for the Levenmouth wind turbine, a real, operating demonstration wind turbine. The paper explores and simulates the critical loads for the turbine, which will be very valuable validation case for industrial and academic use. Moreover, the Levenmouth wind turbine exhibits a new generation of extremely flexible blades that conflict with the previous approaches used by most common aero-elastic codes and makes this simulation a challenge. The study is divided into three steps. It starts with building the model and fine-tuning it until it matches the natural frequencies of the blades and tower. The second step encompasses the comparison of the commissioning results with the relevant NREL FAST simulations to match the dynamic behaviour of the turbine. The final step comprises a load comparison for the interface between the tower and transition piece, in order to validate the new aero-elastic model with the commissioning loads.This work is funded in part by Floating Wind Turbines

Tim Di Muzio on 'Sabotage'
No full textIn a series of essays published in 2013 and 2014 on capitaspower.com, political economist Tim Di Muzio explored the concept of ‘sabotage’ as it applies to capitalist power. I recently rediscovered these essays and was so impressed by them that I have reposted them here as a single piece.
About the author: Tim Di Muzio is a researcher at the University of Wollongong. He is the author of numerous books, including Debt as power, Carbon capitalism, and The 1% and the Rest of us
Finite element modeling of non-loaded reinforced concrete one-way slab exposed to fire / Norlizan Wahid and Tim Stratford
Get PDFA study on the reinforced concrete slab behaviour at a high temperature can be done by modelling the structure using the finite element method. Different types of elements can be used to model the slab, but the effectiveness of each of the elements and the differences in the results obtained need to be studied. This study examined the differences in results obtained from the slab model built from different types of elements available in the finite element analysis. A non-loaded 250 mm thick one-way reinforced concrete slab exposed to ISO834 fire, from the study by Cooke (2001) [1], was analysed using the finite element method in Abaqus. The model builds with three different types of elements, namely plane strain, shell elements and solid elements, to distinguish their ability in predicting the slab behaviour at high temperatures. reasonablyThe mesh convergence study determined the optimum size of each element that could well predict the slab deflection within a reasonable time. A coarser mesh size of solid elements was chosen because of the computational cost limitation. The results demonstrate that different types of elements do not give a significant difference in producing temperature profiles. The slab deflection predicted by the three elements were close and comparable with the test results

First person - Tim Petzold
Get PDFFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Tim Petzold is first author on ‘ Connexin 41.8 governs timely haematopoietic stem and progenitor cell specification’, published in BiO. Tim conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Julien Bertrand's lab at the Department of Pathology and Immunology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Geneva, Switzerland. He is now a postdoc in the lab of Holger Gerhardt at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association, Berlin, Germany, investigating developmental biology – previously his focus was on how blood stem cells develop and now it has shifted to how the vascular system develops
