Abstract:

The broad objective of this thesis is to study the patterns of objective and subjective well-being among the immigrants in Europe. The main part of the thesis consists of three single-authored empirical chapters. The first chapter analyzes the longitudinal patterns of relative poverty among the foreign-born in Sweden. The second chapter examines the mechanisms of occupational attainment, occupational mobility and long-term occupational cost of migration among Senegalese immigrants in France, Spain and Italy. The third chapter analyzes life satisfaction and income satisfaction among immigrants

Abstract:

In this thesis, the problem of well-posedness of nonlinear viscoelasticity under the assumptions allowing for phase transformations in solids is considered. In one space dimension we prove existence and uniqueness of the solutions for the quasistatic version of the model using approximating sequences corresponding to the case when initial data takes finitely many values. This special case also provides upper and lower bounds for the solutions which are interesting in their own rights. We also show equivalence of the existence theory we develop with that of gradient flows when the stored-energy

Abstract:

The present work aims to establish a link between the concepts of development and well-being by defining the former as a function of the latter. A new comprehensive definition of well-being is proposed, and, as a result, it is possible to link both notions in the same coherent vision in accordance with the capability approach framework. By doing so, we can clarify important issues for debate, such as: • Dimensions and limitations of the concept of freedom; • An analysis of the existing relationship between the capability approach and its ethical or moral context; more specifically, about the

Abstract:

The promotion of a ‘home-owning democracy’ in Britain was bolstered by the Thatcher government’s Right-to-Buy policy and from this point onwards a chasm opened up between housing tenures. This broadly speaking resulted in the categorization of owner-occupation as the tenure of choice and the social rented sector as the ‘tenure of last resort’ (Daly et al., 2005, p. 328). When New Labour came to power in 1997 the creation of mixed tenure communities was regarded as a key policy tool for tackling the interconnected problems or social exclusion manifest in the most disadvantaged and residualized

Abstract:

Historically, the onset of geometric nonlinearity in structural mechanics is viewed as akin to damage or failure. Consequently, the main focus of the practising engineer has been to mitigate any nonlinear response. In preventing nonlinear responses, engineers have inherently limited their useful design space. The motivation behind this thesis pivots around the concept of embracing geometric nonlinearities, including instabilities, and understanding the benefits of considering such phenomena, for designing novel features into structures.

Abstract:

Potential wells are widely studied entities nowadays, because of their wide range of applications in many fields of science. Experimental and technological improvements make it possible to design and control the potential shape. For instance, one can modify a single-well potential into a double well and backwards. To investigate this kind of problems, one needs to properly take into account the time-dependency of the system Hamiltonian. We used split operator method to study the dynamics of wavepacket in general, and in time-dependent potential wells in particular. While considering time-depen

Abstract:

The dynamics of exciton saturation in GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum wells are investigated using picosecond optical pulses. The main contributions to exciton saturation have been shown to be phase space filling. Coulomb screening and exciton lineshape broadening. The spin dependent nature of the phase space filling nonlinearity has allowed its separation from the effects due to Coulomb screening and broadening. The effect of lineshape broadening on exciton saturation has been investigated through its density dependence for a number of quantum well widths. The results show that the effects due t

The results do not show any socioeconomic differences in the process of family reconstitution, although children of parents with low educational att

Abstract:

All physical systems are affected by some noise that limits the resolution that can be attained in partitioning their state space. For chaotic, locally hyperbolic flows, this resolution depends on the interplay of the local stretching/contraction and the smearing due to noise. My goal is to determine the `finest attainable' partition for a given hyperbolic dynamical system and a given weak additive white noise. That is achieved by computing the local eigenfunctions of the Fokker-Planck evolution operator in linearized neighborhoods of the periodic orbits of the corresponding deterministic syst

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used in this study to assess the influence of temperature-dependent oil viscosity and density on the flow of oil up the well, and therefore the amount of insulation required. CFD is a difficult tool to apply to flows where the grid aspect ratio is as high as it needs to be to accommodate the full length of an oil well with a realistic number of grid points. Each model was therefore intensive in terms of computational effort and time. This study shows that by allowing oil viscosity and density to vary with temperature in a 2150 m vertical well with no insul
