Abstract:

Pervasive growth in industrialization and advances in technology now exposes much of the world to anthropogenic night light and noise (ANLN), which pose a global environmental challenge in terrestrial environments. An estimated one-tenth of the planet’s land area experiences artificial light at night — and that rises to 23% if skyglow is included. Moreover, anthropogenic noise is associated with urban development and transportation networks, as the ecological impact of roads alone is estimated to affect one-fifth of the total land cover of the United States and is increasing in space and inten

Canopy-forming seaweeds are worldwide disappearing due to the combined effects of human activities and climate instabilities. Identifying the type and strength of interactions between multiple anthropogenic and natural stressors can help setting achievable management targets for degraded ecosystems and support ecological resilience through local actions. This thesis aimed to understand how algal forests change from extensive to degraded, and what factors can enhance the ability of forests to withstand or recover from stressors. I contributed to a systematic review to infer potential important

Abstract:

Pyrenean high mountain lakes are naturally fishless due to natural barriers that have prevented the natural colonisation of fish species from lower streams. However, there have been numerous trout introductions to such ecosystems, both in historical and recent periods. Differing from other high mountain regions, some high mountain lakes of the Pyrenees were exploited traditionally for trout cultivation. This activity started at least centuries ago and lasted until 1950s, affecting approximately 25% of the lakes. Since 1950, and similar to other high mountain regions, a wave of modern introduct

Abstract:

Coastal ecosystems are highly threatened worldwide by multiple anthropogenic stressors that act at a range of spatial scales, from local to the global, and adversely affect their ecological functions and associated biodiversity. Global warming is one of the most pervasive stressors, and the assessment of how the species (or other levels of biological organization) react to it is an urgent need in a rapidly warming world. Moreover, thermal stress rarely acts in isolation from other stressors. The potential synergies among global warming and local stressors is of particular concern in what it re

Abstract:

Corals face serious worldwide population declines due to global climate change in combination with direct anthropogenic impacts. Global climate change is difficult to manage locally, but policy makers can regulate the magnitude of local stressors affecting reefs. The objective of this experiment is to investigate if reducing sedimentation will enable reef corals to better endure global climate change. It has been shown that some coral species can handle climate change stress when provided with additional energy resources. Here I tested if the capacity of corals to cope with climate change can

Abstract:

Amphibians are osmotically-challenged due to their highly permeable skin and egg membranes. As such, biologists have mostly ignored their occurrence in saline habitats. The goal of this dissertation was to investigate the ability of amphibians to adapt to inhabit these osmotically-stressful environments. As freshwater resources are increasingly salinized due to a combination of anthropogenic and natural stressors, including road-deicing salt application, coastal storm events, and sea-level rise, it is important to understand the abilities and constraints of sensitive organisms, like amphibians

Abstract:

The mechanical environment influences vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) functions related to the vascular remodeling. However, the relationships are not appropriately addressed by most mechanical models of arteries assuming homogeneity. Accounting for the effects of heterogeneity is expected to be important to our understanding of VSMC functions. We hypothesized that local stresses computed using a heterogeneous mechanical model of arteries positively correlate to the levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9 in situ. We developed a mathematical model of an arterial wall accounting fo

This thesis presents a comprehensive study on the strength and the behaviour of cold-rolled aluminium sections in compression and bending. The first step of the research project focused on the investigation of mechanical properties and residual stresses in cold-rolled aluminium channel sections. Subsequently, both experimental and numerical investigations were performed to investigate the behaviour and sectional capacities. Finally, design rules based on the Direct Strength Method for cold-rolled aluminium columns and beams were proposed in this thesis. The experimental study encompassed three

Abstract:

The common profiled steel cladding systems used in Australia and its neighboring countries are made of very thin (0.42 mm) high strength steel (G550 with a minimum yield stress of 550 MPa) and are crest-fixed. However, these claddings often suffer from local pull-through failures at their screw connections during high wind events such as storms and cyclones. Past experience and researches have shown that the loss of steel roofs has often occurred due to local pull-through failures of their screw connections under uplift or suction loading. Loss of claddings always led to a progressive collapse

Abstract:

Composite materials and hybrid materials such as fiber-metal laminates, and functionally graded materials are increasingly common in application in aerospace structures. However, adhesive bonding of dissimilar materials makes these materials susceptible to delamination. The use of integrated Sinc methods for predicting interlaminar failure in laminated composites and hybrid material systems was examined. Because the Sinc methods first approximate the highest-order derivative in the governing equation, the in-plane derivatives of in-plane strain needed to obtain interlaminar stresses by integra

Many communities that are overburdened by environmental exposures reject traditional risk assessment approaches that solely consider the effects of single
