Abstract:

This thesis studies the spatiotemporal variability of phenomena within the Martian plasma environment arising from the interaction of the interplanetary solar environment with the Martian upper atmosphere and ionosphere. In particular, two phenomena have been studied including, (1) rapid reductions in the superthermal electron plasma population, or ‘electron holes’, within the illuminated Martian induced magnetosphere (IM), and (2) the outermost interface of the Martian plasma environment to the solar wind, the Martian bow shock. I have used ~ 11 years (2004 to 2015) of plasma observations at

Abstract:

Globalization and technological progress are the two issues influencing our lives to a great extent nowadays. Indeed, national borders between countries are blurring in terms of cultural differences. The information overflow around us is evident. Progressing convergence is making the Earth a homogeneous entity. This, in turn, might be perceived as desirable or harmful, depending on one’s standpoint; however, it is having a strong impact on the world of business, among others. This research investigates internationalization of two companies embedded in the clustered Swedish music industry. At f

Abstract:

<p> Mexico is home to almost 2.9 million square kilometers of land and water surface area that is affected by water pollution and environmental degradation. While geographically more prevalent to pollution threats as well as one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, it is important to coordinate the management and regulation of coastal zones effectively to safeguard these ecosystem from degradation. However, because of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, nations view the problem of living resources and their management as a national priority instead of an international cooperat

<p> This paper discusses applying cyber warfare techniques to small war environments. Small wars do not carry the prestige of larger, more traditional campaigns; additionally, most small wars involve non-state actors whose technological means are limited, thus reducing the impact of cyber operations against them. Yet, small wars are very common throughout the history of the United States, and the traditionally-postured military struggled with them in the high-profile examples of Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

I used these two methodologies to address both pericopes and also larger units and even to discuss the book itself. Two other method

In political science literature, the development of social trust is often explained in terms of the influence of different environmental factors, socioeconomic status (SES) being one of the most important.

The present study aims to explore heritability of social trust across socioeconomic status using a twin-design that tests potential gene-environment (GxE) interactions.

Abstract:

A fundamental objective in power system operations is to ensure reliablity and quality supply, and one key action that aids the accomplishment of this objective is the load frequency control (LFC). Primarily, LFC is an automatic action that aims to restore system frequency and net tie line power between a control area (CA) and its neighbours to their scheduled values; these quantities deviate when there is an imbalance between active power demand and supply in a synchrononus interconnection. This thesis aims to investigate a model predictive control (MPC) technique for LFC problems in a deregu

Le travail qui est présenté dans ce manuscrit est le résultat d'une série d'expériences qui ont été effectuées à la fois à l'Université du Maine (IMMM Le Mans) et aux lignes de lumière lD10 et lD02 de l'ESRF (Grenoble) où j'ai passé la moitié de mon temps. Le projet que j'ai travaillé pendant trois ans a été principalement orienté sur l'étude des nanomatériaux qui ont été exposés au CO2 supercritique en utilisant de diffusion des rayons X. Par conséquent une partie de ce travail a été consacrée à la description des propriétés de ce fluide supercritique et comment il interagit avec des matériau

Abstract:

This research project investigated the interaction between natural organics acids and selected metal ions. The aim of the project was to provide quantitative data on the speciation of metal ions when placed in systems containing natural organic acids. It was envisaged that such data will assist in the risk assessment of the Drigg low level waste site in Cumbria. The formation and complexing ability of these natural organic acids is discussed and the classing of these acids into high molecular weight organic acids and low molecular weight organic acids. Initial investigations used a potentiomet

Abstract:

Efficient exploitation and conservation of the oceans poses great technological challenges for scientists and engineers who must develop materials, structures and equipment for use in harsh environment of the oceans. For the applications of materials in marine environment, knowledge of the corrosion properties is essential for selection purposes. Presently, effort is being devoted to exploit deep-sea mineral resources. Deterioration of materials in the deep sea is due to the cumulative effect hydrostatic pressure, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity and sea current. For the first time,
