Abstract:
Ubiquitous Computing promises to enrich our everyday lives by enabling the environment to be enhanced via computational elements. These elements are designed to augment and support our lives, thus allowing us to perform our tasks and goals. The main facet of Ubiquitous Computing is that computational devices are embedded in the environment, and interact with users and themselves to provide novel and unique applications. Ubiquitous Computing requires an underlying architecture that helps to promote and control the dynamic properties and structures that the applications require. In this thesis,

Abstract:
The total fertility rate in Bangladesh declined from 6.3 children per women in 1975 to 3.3 in 1997-1999. This decline of 48 per cent over a 25-year period occurred without a substantial improvement in socio-economic status, health conditions and other factors thought to be essential for fertility decline. In this thesis it is postulated that current fertility behaviour is a manifestation of ideational change, which has occurred through mass media and interpersonal communication channels.

Abstract:
In the forthcoming broadband wireless communications, channel equalisation and estimation solutions are required to be robust against frequency selective fading channels and have a low signal processing complexity. This thesis investigates iterative frequency-domain channel equalisation and estimation for single-carrier (SC) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) wireless communication systems, aiming to outperform iterative time-domain channel equalisation and estimation with a low complexity.

Abstract:
This thesis proposes novel blind and semi-blind receivers for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) wireless communication systems employing Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) or Single-Carrier Frequency Domain Equalisation (SCFDE) modulation. MIMO systems can achieve higher data rates than Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) systems while the use of OFDM and SC-FDE is motivated by their simple equalisation of frequency selective channels. Furthermore, the blind or semi-blind operation increases the bandwidth efciency compared to traditional training based receivers, which is part

Abstract:
In recent years, new visualisation techniques and devices, such as remote visualisation and stereoscopic displays, have been developed to help researchers. In a remote visualisation environment the user may want to see visualisation on a different device, such as a PDA or stereo device, and in different circumstances. Each device needs to be configured correctly, otherwise it may lead to an incorrect rendering of the output. For end users, however, it can be difficult to configure each device without a knowledge of the device property and rendering. Therefore, in a multiple user and multiple d

Abstract:
In todays society, a growing number of users are demanding more sophisticated services from wireless communication devices. In order to meet these rising demands, it has been proposed to increase the capacity of the wireless channel by using more than one antenna at the transmitter and receiver, thereby creating multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels. Using MIMO communication techniques is a promising way to improve wireless communication technology because in a rich-scattering environment the capacity increases linearly with the number of antennas. However, increasing the number of tr
