Abstract:

The development of software products is a massive undertaking, and organisations have to manage all artefacts involved in the process. Managing such artefacts that, in many cases, become crucial assets is important for success. Recognising assets and letting them (unintentionally) degrade can result in maintainability problems. Thus, there is a need to create a structured and organised body of knowledge that can guide practitioners and researchers to deal with the assets during the product/service life-cycle. This includes, but is not limited to, what steps are needed to understand the assets’

<p>Background: In order to make financially logical decisions it is important to know the real value of all assets in a company.

This thesis examines effective property tax rates on agricultural assets in the U.S., and attempts to use two models to explain why differences exist among states. One is the "majority rule voting model", and the other is the "special interest model." The former hypothesizes that political influence will increase with increases in the number of farmers, while the special interest model argues that small size will be more effective in exerting pressures on government because the smaller group is easier to organize and less susceptible to the free rider problem.

Novel energy harvesting approaches are proposed that enable the sensor to operate without batteries and to have an expected life of 20-30 years. The sensor measures current flowing in an asset using an open ferromagnetic core, unlike a CT which uses a closed core, which makes the proposed sensor small in size, and low-cost. Further, it allows the sensor to operate in conjunction with different assets hav
