Understanding local government artificial intelligence policy landscape
Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving transformation across all areas of society today. An umbrella term encompassing a range of technologies both sophisticated and simple that are used to make predictions, inferences, recommendations, or decisions with data. AI is used in many products and services that people use, interact with, or are impacted by every day. It already in place of local government and assisting government officials in providing services effectively and conduct their activities more efficiently to the public. The …

Investigating the application of sustainable AI practices in construction
The construction industry plays a vital role in the global economy and there is a growing interest in utilising artificial intelligence (AI) to improve its productivity and efficiency. Despite the industry's significant contribution to the economy, it has faced challenges such as large cost overruns, extended schedules, and quality concerns. Nevertheless, AI is making significant strides to remove these issues by revolutionising various aspects of the construction industry. This is evident from enhancing project planning and design to improving construction …

Investigating smart campus development trends in Australian universities
Smart campus is an emerging concept following the smart city research movement and is predominantly argued to be a miniature replica of the smart city providing an ideal prototype for university campus development. The smart campus concept has attracted much attention, predominantly due to the rise in artificial intelligence, internet-of-things, cloud computing and big data applications in advancing university campus operation efficiency. In recent years, Australian universities started to invest in smart campus technologies and development opportunities.ReferenceA brief background on …

Identifying novel pheno-endotypes in children with chronic cough
Chronic wet cough is among the commonest symptoms of chronic lung disease. In Australia, the most common cause of childhood chronic wet cough is protracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB), a clinical entity we first described. It has now been shown to be a precursor to bronchiectasis, which causes substantial morbidity and mortality, especially from acute respiratory exacerbations. Lung inflammation in children with persistent chronic wet cough is an important driver of ongoing and progressive tissue damage, leading to bronchiectasis, highlighting the …

Characterisation of anthocyanin-biofortified Cavendish bananas
Anthocyanins are a class of water-soluble flavonoids responsible for the vibrant red, purple, and blue colours found in many fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Due to their colours and antioxidant properties, they offer several benefits to plants such as attracting pollinators, protecting against abiotic stress such as UV radiation and against biotic stresses such as pests and diseases. Consuming anthocyanin-rich crops, such as berries, grapes, and purple vegetables, is associated with various health benefits, including reduced risk of chronic diseases. These …

Making predictions using simulation-based stochastic mathematical models
Stochastic simulation-based models are very attractive to study population-biology, disease transmission, development and disease. These models naturally incorporate randomness in a way that is consistent with experimental measurements that describe natural phenomena.Standard statistical techniques are not directly compatible with data produced by simulation-based stochastic models since the model likelihood function is unavailable. Progress can be made, however, by introducing an auxiliary likelihood function can be formulated, and this auxiliary likelihood function can be used for identifiability analysis, parameter estimation and …

My flow: Menstrual cycle Femtech for elite athlete performance optimisation through wearable technology
There is a need for additional studies to monitor on-field performance parameters in female elite athletes (Meignié 2021). We know that wearable sensors can be used to monitor the physiological and biochemical profile of athletes (Seshadri 2019), and a combination of several wearables is going to be more effective for accessing all relevant parameters (Düking 2016). However, there is limited research on the effects of menstrual cycle phases on elite athlete performance (Meignié 2021).This proposed research aims to bridge the …

Carbon markets
Carbon markets are recent social innovations of our modern economy. These national and international carbon markets are expected to play crucial roles in addressing climate change. There are many shortcomings of existing structures of the carbon markets. Rich literature discusses loopholes in these markets which undermine their ability to assist with global efforts of emission reduction and abatement. This project aims to discuss both theoretical and empirical issues relevant to these loopholes.
