Development of mechanistic rolling resistance model for pavement life cycle assessment
… component of pavement LCA results from rolling resistance (RR) between vehicle-pavement interaction. This study focuses primarily on the development of mechanistic RR model to capture the impact of excess fuel consumption (EFC) and dynamic wheel load (DWL) caused by pavement roughness. The study …

Optimising fungicide application tactics: using mathematical modelling to understand qualitative and quantitative fungicide resistance management
… by pathogen evolution leading to fungicide resistance and loss of cultivar efficacy (‘cultivar breakdown’). Both fungicide resistance and cultivar breakdown can be characterised as qualitative or quantitative, depending on the genetic basis for resistance/breakdown. Mathematical models have …

Analyzing Skid Resistance and Tire/Road Noise on Porous Pavement Using Numerical Modeling
Skid resistance and tire/road noise are major concerns in pavement functional performance. Porous pavement enhances skid resistance through inner drainage and reduces tire/road noise through acoustic absorption. This study attempts to explore the development of numerical models in predicting skid …

Aztlán Potentialities: Queer Male Chicanx Affect and Temporalities
… temporalities, offering an affective turn as a resistance model to the heteronormativity that plagues the queer male Chicanx. The first chapter establishes a critical intervention in the field by putting Cherríe Moraga’s dream of a “Queer Aztlán” in conversation with the queer futurity framework …

Weed resistance risk management in glyphosate-resistant cotton
The introduction of glyphosate resistance into Australian cotton systems will have an effect on conventional weed management practices, the weed species present and the risk of glyphosate resistance evolving in weed species. Therefore, it is important that the effects of these management practices, …
