Abstract:

Ice sheets, such as the Greenland Ice Sheet or Antarctic Ice Sheet, have a fundamental impact on landscape formation, the global climate system, and on sea level rise. The slow, creeping flow of ice can be represented by a non-linear version of the Stokes equations, which treat ice as a non-Newtonian, viscous fluid. Large spatial domains combined with long time spans and complexities such as a non-linear rheology, make ice sheet simulations computationally challenging. The topic of this thesis is the efficiency and error control of large simulations, both in the sense of mathematical modelling

Abstract:

Reducing the transmission bandwidth and achieving higher speech quality are primary concerns in developing new speech coding algorithms. The goal of this thesis is to improve the perceptual speech quality of algorithms that employ linear predictive coding (LPC). Most LPC-based speech coders extract parameters representing an all-pole filter. This LPC analysis is performed on each block or frame of speech. To smooth out the evolution of the LPC tracks, each block is divided into subframes for which the LPC parameters are interpolated. This improves the perceptual quality without additional tran

Abstract:

We study, using the non-parametric data envelopment approach, we investigated the long-run profit efficiency dynamics and the short-run market reaction of nine pre-classified merger deals of merging and non-merging U.S. banks over the time period from 1992 to 2003. Our main results are as follows: First, merger deals that match least efficient acquirers with the least efficient targets could improve their profit efficiency four years following the merger event, unlike all other merger deals. Second, we find that mergers match least efficient acquirers with the least efficient targets

This thesis applies innovative methods to the efficiency and productivity analysis of the Australian banking system. Key areas of investigation include the impact of regulatory reforms on bank performance, the impact of firm entry and exit on industry productivity and the changing nature of banking and the role of risk in measuring bank value-added. The latter leads to the construction of a new bank production model, emphasising risk management as part of a bank??s value-added. As such, the proposed bank output framework views risk as a productive service, rather than a bad output or externali

Highly deteriorated U.S. road infrastructure, major budgetary restrictions and the significant growth in traffic have led to an emerging need for improving efficiency and effectiveness of highway maintenance practices that preserve the road infrastructure so as to better support society's needs. Effectiveness and efficiency are relative terms in which the performance of a production unit or decision making unit (DMU) is compared with a benchmark (best practice). Constructing the benchmark requires making a choice between an "estimation approach" based on observed best practices (i.e., using da

This phenomenon has been shown to improve the efficiency of ink removal in a laboratory flotation deinking cell, while simultaneously decreasing fiber loss.

An anguilliform swimming robot replicating an idealized motion is a complex marine vehicle necessitating both a theoretical and experimental analysis to completely understand its propulsion characteristics.

The net circulation for the unsteady motion is theorized to be eliminated. The robot was designed to replicate the desired, theoretical motion by applying control theory methods. I

Acoustic radiation efficiency is defined as the ratio of sound power radiated to the surface vibration power of a piston with equivalent surface area. It has been shown that the radiation efficiency is maximized and may exceed unity when the structural and acoustic wavelengths are approximately equal. The frequency at which this occurs is called the critical frequency and can be shifted with structural modifications. This has proven to be an effective way to reduce noise. The standard radiation efficiency measurement is comprised of an intensity scan for sound power measurement and acceleromet

Abstract:

Torrent control works have always been a fundamental tool for preventing torrential hazard in mountain catchments, where the sediment transport phenomena as debris flows are one of the most dangerous geomorphic processes affecting small steep basins. The linkages between sediment source areas on the hillslopes and channel network, along with the temporal and spatial distributions of channel storage, are key controls of debris-flow occurrence and magnitude. Consequently, the prevention of natural hazards related to debris-flows requires a better understanding of sediment dynamic. Among the hydr

Abstract:

Cities occupy 2% of the earth's surface, and yet consume 75% of the world's resources. As a major contributor to rapidly growing global energy expenditures, urban buildings are often designed and operated inefficiently despite their significant contributions to carbon emissions, triggering environmental deterioration locally and worldwide. Moreover, ongoing industrialization and urbanization pose challenges for achieving a more sustained and resilient built environment. The goal of this PhD research is to advance our understanding of urban building networks' thermal-energy dynamics in order to

Abstract:

Wheelchair manufacturers design their products to provide the best possible experience to their users. The user effort and wheelchair mechanical efficiency during motion are highly affected by rolling resistance, which is a resistive force depending on many factors such as vehicle speed, tire/floor materials and tire inflation pressure. The study of this force over several conditions could lead to improvements in wheelchair design. The Anatomical Model Propulsion System (AMPS) is a robotic device to test manual wheelchairs with better repeatability than human subjects, helping to identify the
