Abstract:

Trois problèmes sont abordés dans cette thèse: l'inférence en régression multi-tâche de grande dimension, les quantiles géométriques dans les espaces normés de dimension infinie, et les moyennes de Fréchet généralisées dans les arbres métriques. Premièrement, nous considérons un modèle de régression multi-tâche avec une hypothèse de sparsité sur les lignes de la matrice paramètre. L'estimation est faite en haute dimension avec l'estimateur Lasso multi-tâche. Afin de corriger le biais induit par la pénalité, nous introduisons un nouvel objet dépendant uniquement des données que nous appelons ma

Abstract:

The manufacture of carbonates and carbamates is essential due to their wide range of applications from polymers in foams, elastomers and engineering plastics to agrochemicals. Since there is a high demand for both types of compound, there is a commercial justification for use of phosgene in their synthesis. However, phosgene is highly toxic in small quantities. The development of an alternative reagent is therefore most desirable. This thesis relates our attempts to overcome the problem of phosgene use by utilising C02. Chapter One highlights previous research concerning the synthesis of carbo

Abstract:

Ever since the first mobile telephone call was made by a Motorola researcher in 1973, mobile technology has been growing rapidly to facilitate diverse ubiquitous services. Although cell based radio technology has proved beneficial for reliable long distance transmission, it is faced with challenges when deployed in an indoor environment. With the introduction of white LED - based communication entities at the start of the 21st century, radio and other technologies have become more interdependent, with the possibility for further expansion. Bearing in mind the sophistication offered, with the r

Abstract:

Chapter 1 introduces the concept of polyethylene (PE) end-functionalisation as a route to block copolymers, reviews the different literature methods for their synthesis this way, and compares the advantages and disadvantages of each. Finally, an existing method which makes use of PE terminated with a styrene derivative is identified as having fewer disadvantages than most literature procedures. Further investigation of the mechanism is proposed. Chapter 2 focusses on the different types of so-called dormant state formed in Ziegler-Natta catalysed olefin polymerisations, and in particular on th

Abstract:

Stating the faith in the form of fundamental articles has, historically, provided an important strategy by which the identity and continuity of the Church has been expressed. The issue underlying this ecclesiological context of fundamental articles concerns the truth of the one-in-Christ bond in Christianity. However discussion of fundamental articles of the faith has, from the Post-Reformation period, tended to occur as somewhat disconnected from wider concerns to do with the belief, discipleship and mission of the Church. One result is that important issues and motives implicit in the attemp

Abstract:

The research reported in this dissertation was undertaken to investigate efficient computational methods of automatically generating three dimensional unstructured tetrahedral meshes. The work on two dimensional triangular unstructured grid generation by Lewis and Robinson [LeR76] is first examined, in which a recursive bisection technique of computational order nlog(n) was implemented. This technique is then extended to incorporate new methods of geometry input and the automatic handling of multiconnected regions. The method of two dimensional recursive mesh bisection is then further modified

This thesis comprises three independent essays in operations management. The first essay explores a specific issue encountered by mobile gaming companies. The remaining two essays address the contracting problem in a supply chain setting. In the first essay, we study the phenomena of game companies offering to pay users in "virtual" benefits to take actions in-game that earn the game company revenue from third parties. Examples of such "incentivized actions" include paying users in "gold coins" to watch video advertising and speeding in-game progression in exchange for filling out a survey etc

Abstract:

A combination of climate change and decades of fire suppression has led to an increase in the size of wildfires in North American conifer forests. Large wildfires are more heterogeneous than smaller fires because of their landscape context and fire-weather that ignites them. Larger fires are patchier, and have more opportunities for good habitat, but they also produce large patches of open area where prey species are exposed to predation. For many mammal species, such as snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) this patchiness means having to navigate quite different habitat patches while trying to l

Abstract:

Although many quantum mechanics problems of a point particle have been well understood, the realistic physical model is often a composite object consisting of particles bound together, and its quantum mechanics is an important problem with applications in many areas of physics. Unlike a point particle, a composite object possesses internal structure described by some degrees of freedom which are often entangled with each other. We call the entanglement among these degrees of freedom ``internal entanglement'', to distinguish it from any other entanglement they may share with an external objec

Abstract:

Introdução: Os colesteatomas podem ocorrer tanto em crianças como em adultos, porém nas crianças pareceriam ter um crescimento mais agressivo e extenso. A atividade das colagenases poderia explicar este perfil. Objetivo: Comparar, histologicamente, a perimatriz de colesteatomas adquiridos de crianças com os de adultos. Métodos: Foram estudados 74 colesteatomas, 35 pediátricos, coletados em cirurgias otológicas, fixados em formol 10% e processados pelas técnicas histológicas habituais. Foram preparadas uma lâmina em Hematoxilina-Eosina (HE) e outra em Picrossírios, de cada amostra, e analisadas

Abstract:

Bibliography: leaves 149-155.<br>Since there has been no comprehensive nationwide economic study on the expanding wildlife market in South Africa, the present study ventures into a relatively unexplored economic terrain in the hope that more studies will be stimulated in that direction. The study focuses, firstly, on presenting an economic overview of the current trends within the wildlife market of South Africa, attempting inter alia to demonstrate how the sustainable utilisation of wildlife can contribute to both conservation and the economy. Secondly, it is endeavoured to describe the deman

Abstract:

For members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Ten Commandments are very much in effect today. The fourth commandment, to remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy, is heavily emphasized within church doctrine and culture (Exodus 20:8; Deuteronomy 5:12). This command to set apart the Sabbath is observed on Sundays for the LDS Church as well as the majority of the Christian world, rather than the traditional Saturday. Though the Ten Commandments collectively have both individual and societal implications, the spiritual outcome from following them is indeed an introspective

Abstract:

Youth with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have higher rates of depression than healthy youth. A cognitive-behavioral treatment, primary and secondary control enhancement training-physical illness (PASCET-PI), for depressed adolescents with IBD was associated with reductions in depressive symptoms. The purpose of this study was to examine the salience of nonspecific processes (factors inherent in any human relationship) and specific processes (factors related to therapy content) during PASCET-PI sessions and their association with improvements in psychological functioning. Participants includ

Abstract:

La presenti tesi esamina il problema odierno della sicurezza energetica e ambientale. Energia e ambiente, infatti, risultano essere due elementi inscindibili nelle relazioni internazionali. Inizialmente, viene analizzato il concetto di sicurezza energetica e l’importanza che essa ha per la comunità. La descrizione dell’impatto dei combustibili fossili per lo sviluppo economico e la spiegazione delle tecniche di sfruttamento delle fonti alternative fungono da cornice per i successivi temi di analisi. Si passa, quindi, ad approfondire il tema della sicurezza ambientale, con particolare enfasi s

Abstract:

This work is about a quantum-mechanical generalisation of transition rate theory that accounts for temperature-dependent quantum-dynamical effects. The starting point of this investigation is a formulation of the classical transmission coefficient where the activated dynamics is needed to obtain the time evolution of the classical state function and the rate is expressed as an average flux in momentum space. Traditional approaches to quantum transition rate theory are briefly discussed, with emphasis on the fact that these do not generally require knowledge of the open quantum dynamics. The la

Abstract:

Livelihoods in rural communities of the Ethiopian highlands are strongly dependent on ecosystem services (ESS). At the same time, they face many challenges and are typically characterised by extreme poverty. Little is known about the social-ecological context of ESS management, and how this impacts the livelihoods and poverty rates at a community level. Improved understanding of how local stakeholders interact with their surrounding ESS to support their livelihoods may inform more viable and realistic approaches to the sustainable use of ESS and maximize poverty alleviation.
