Underwater & out of sight: towards ubiquity in underwater robotics
The Earth's oceans holds a wealth of information currently hidden from us. Effective measurement of its properties could provide a better understanding of our changing climate and insights into the creatures that inhabit its waters. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) hold the promise of …

Knowledge ubiquity through the transfer of tacit knowledge in Australian universities
Knowledge management is a process through which organisational intellectual capital and information can be managed. In order to be successful, both large and small organisations rely on their acquired information and intellectual capital. Sharing of tacit knowledge in organisations can contribute …

The True and Only Technic: Technological Ubiquity and its Critics, Heretics, and Zealots
<p>Against technological ubiquity, the philosopher, the ecologist, the theologian, the psychologist, the radical, the reactionary, and the poet have each responded. This analysis seeks to explicate the nature of such responses, as well as to explore their contemporary form and elucidate what those …

Towards Efficient Processing of Big Spatial Data
The ubiquity of location-aware devices has resulted in a plethora of location-based services in which huge amounts of spatial data need to be efficiently processed. To cope with such proliferation of spatial data, this dissertation addresses two key issues that are overlooked by existing …

The ecology and evolutionary history of the Deinococcaceae family
… garden soil. Nevertheless, the origins of this ubiquity have remained unexplored. Here, I discuss how the biased isolation methods and focus on highly resistant species created a gap in our understanding of the true ecology and evolution of Deinococcaceae. This thesis addresses this knowledge …

Globalization and technology : the dual discussion
… Second, many commentators have noticed the ubiquity of advanced communications tools, most notably the internet. For the most part, however, these two new discussions rarely intersect in meaningful ways. In fact, however, the drive to globalization is being fueled by the sorts of economies …

Development of the God Concept in Children: An Exploratory Study
… absolute attributes such as omnipotence and ubiquity are taken away from parents and assigned to God. Based on both the theories of Freud and Piaget it was predicted that the transition will occur between the ages of four and eight. Forty children were administered an interview questionnaire …

Distributed Cinema: Interactive, Networked Spectatorship In The Age Of Digital Media
… source, contributes to a distrust of images. The ubiquity of interactive media changes aesthetics of images, as viewers begin to expect interactivity. Networked media changes not only the ways in which viewers access media, but also how they communicate with each other about this media. The Tulse …

Design of Area-Efficient Integrated Gate Drivers
… important in modern power electronics due to the ubiquity of applications that require the fast and controlled switching of power MOSFETs. A controller serves as the first building block in many such systems, but with limited drive current and logic level voltage signals, it is unable to directly …
