Abstract:
Abstract Recent progress in tuneable solid-state light sources opens new opportunities in a niche and high added value lighting applications. The standard colorimetric technique of composing an identical colour coordinate metameric light spectra are facing the challenges due to the colour discrepancy noticed by the observers. A side-by-side colour matching experiment was performed with two tuneable tetrachromatic RAGB lamps (638 nm red, 598 nm pc amber, 518 nm green, 451 nm blue LEDs) to compare the colour of the metameres in a 10-deg viewing angle. The metameric light matching was investigated using a 2-deg (CIE 1931) and 10-deg (CIE 1964) XYZ colour matching function. Both colour matching functions of standard colorimetric observers were shown to be inaccurate for aligning of metameric spectral power distributions without a noticeable difference in a perceived colour. On the other hand, a wide scatter of individual results revealed that the standard colour matching functions are inherently limited and in some cases, especially in professional lighting applications, the individually adjustable metameric lighting approach is to be considered.

Abstract:
Primate extrastriate visual cortex is organized into an occipitotemporal pathway for object vision and an occipitoparietal pathway for spatial vision. Correlations between normalized regional cerebral blood flow values (regional divided by global flows), obtained using H215O and positron emission tomography, were used to examine functional associations among posterior brain regions for these two pathways in 17 young men during performance of a face matching task and a dot-location matching task. During face matching, there was a significant correlation in the right hemisphere between an extrastriate occipital region that was equally activated during both the face matching and dot-location matching tasks and a region in inferior occipitotemporal cortex that was activated more during the face matching task. The corresponding correlation in the left hemisphere was not significantly different from zero. Significant intrahemispheric correlations among posterior regions were observed more often for the right than for the left hemisphere. During dot-location matching, many significant correlations were found among posterior regions in both hemispheres, but significant correlations between specific regions in occipital and parietal cortex shown to be reliably activated during this spatial vision test were found only in the right cerebral hemisphere. These results suggest that (1) correlational analysis of normalized rCBF can detect functional interactions between components of proposed brain circuits, and (2) face and dot-location matching depend primarily on functional interactions between posterior cortical areas in the right cerebral hemisphere. At the same time, left hemisphere cerebral processing may contribute more to dot-location matching than to face matching.

Eng., 93 (2013), pp. 1255–1285). For a finite segment of the linear harmonic chain, we construct explicit energy functionals that decay along with time. For a nonlinear atomic chain with its nonlinearity vanished around the boundaries, an energy functional is constructed for the first order matching boundary condition. Numerical verifications are also presented.

Abstract:
This thesis continues research exploring the benefits of using functional databases based around the functional data model for advanced database applications-particularly those supporting investigative systems. This is a growing generic application domain covering areas such as criminal and military intelligence, which are characterised by significant data complexity, large data sets and the need for high performance, interactive use. An experimental functional database language was developed to provide the requisite semantic richness. However, heavy use in a practical context has shown that language extensions and implementation improvements are required-especially in the crucial areas of string matching and graph traversal. In addition, an implementation on multiprocessor, parallel architectures is essential to meet the performance needs arising from existing and projected database sizes in the chosen application area.

Abstract:
Existing service matching approaches trade precision for recall, creating the need for humans to choose the correct services, which is a major obstacle for automating the service matching and the service aggregation processes. To overcome this problem, the matchmaker must automatically determine the correctness of the matching results according to the defined users' goals. That is, only service(s)-achieving users' goals are considered correct. This requires the high-level functional semantics of services, users, and application domains to be captured in a machine-understandable format. Also this requires the matchmaker to determine the achievement of users' goals without invoking the services. We propose the G+ model to capture the high-level functional specifications of services and users (namely goals, achievement contexts and external behaviors) providing the basis for automated goal achievement determination; also we propose the concepts substitutability graph to capture the application domains' semantics. To avoid the false negatives resulting from adopting existing constraint and behavior matching approaches during service matching, we also propose new constraint and behavior matching approaches to match constraints with different scopes, and behavior models with different number of state transitions. Finally, we propose two correctness-aware matching approaches (direct and aggregate) that semantically match and aggregate semantic web services according to their G+ models, providing the required theoretical proofs and the corresponding verifying simulation experiments.

Abstract:
La création et la compréhension des déformations de surfaces sont des thèmes récurrent pour le traitement de géométrie 3D. Comme les surfaces lisses peuvent être représentées de multiples façon allant du nuage ​​de points aux maillages polygonales, un enjeu important est de pouvoir comparer ou déformer des formes discrètes indépendamment de leur représentation. Une réponse possible est de choisir une représentation flexible des surfaces déformables qui peut facilement être transportées d'une structure de données à une autre.Dans ce but, les "functional map" proposent de représenter des applications entre les surfaces et, par extension, des déformations comme des opérateurs agissant sur des fonctions. Cette approche a été introduite récemment pour le traitement de modèle 3D, mais a été largement utilisé dans d'autres domaines tels que la géométrie différentielle, la théorie des opérateurs et les systèmes dynamiques, pour n'en citer que quelques-uns. Le principal avantage de ce point de vue est de détourner les problèmes encore non-résolus, tels que la correspondance forme et le transfert de déformations, vers l'analyse fonctionnelle dont l'étude et la discrétisation sont souvent mieux connues. Cette thèse approfondit l'analyse et fournit de nouvelles applications à ce cadre d'étude. Deux questions principales sont discutées.Premièrement, étant donné deux surfaces, nous analysons les déformations sous-jacentes. Une façon de procéder est de trouver des correspondances qui minimisent la distorsion globale. Pour compléter l'analyse, nous identifions les parties les moins fiables du difféomorphisme grâce une méthode d'apprentissage. Une fois repérés, les défauts peuvent être éliminés de façon différentiable à l'aide d'une représentation adéquate des champs de vecteurs tangents.Le deuxième développement concerne le problème inverse : étant donné une déformation représentée comme un opérateur, comment déformer une surface en conséquence ? Dans une première approche, nous analysons un encodage de la structure intrinsèque et extrinsèque d'une forme en tant qu'opérateur fonctionnel. Dans ce cadre, l'objet déformé peut être obtenu, à rotations et translations près, en résolvant une série de problèmes d'optimisation convexe. Deuxièmement, nous considérons une version linéarisée de la méthode précédente qui nous permet d'appréhender les champs de déformation comme agissant sur la métrique induite. En conséquence la résolution de problèmes difficiles, tel que le transfert de déformation, sont effectués à l'aide de simple systèmes linéaires d'équations<br>Creating and understanding deformations of surfaces is a recurring theme in geometry processing. As smooth surfaces can be represented in many ways from point clouds to triangle meshes, one of the challenges is being able to compare or deform consistently discrete shapes independently of their representation. A possible answer is choosing a flexible representation of deformable surfaces that can easily be transported from one structure to another.Toward this goal, the functional map framework proposes to represent maps between surfaces and, to further extents, deformation of surfaces as operators acting on functions. This approach has been recently introduced in geometry processing but has been extensively used in other fields such as differential geometry, operator theory and dynamical systems, to name just a few. The major advantage of such point of view is to deflect challenging problems, such as shape matching and deformation transfer, toward functional analysis whose discretization has been well studied in various cases. This thesis investigates further analysis and novel applications in this framework. Two aspects of the functional representation framework are discussed.First, given two surfaces, we analyze the underlying deformation. One way to do so is by finding correspondences that minimize the global distortion. To complete the analysis we identify the least and most reliable parts of the mapping by a learning procedure. Once spotted, the flaws in the map can be repaired in a smooth way using a consistent representation of tangent vector fields.The second development concerns the reverse problem: given a deformation represented as an operator how to deform a surface accordingly? In a first approach, we analyse a coordinate-free encoding of the intrinsic and extrinsic structure of a surface as functional operator. In this framework a deformed shape can be recovered up to rigid motion by solving a set of convex optimization problems. Second, we consider a linearized version of the previous method enabling us to understand deformation fields as acting on the underlying metric. This allows us to solve challenging problems such as deformation transfer are solved using simple linear systems of equations

Abstract:
Extracting structure from initially incomprehensible streams of events is fundamental to a range of human abilities: from navigating in a new environment to learning a language. These skills rely on our ability to extract spatial and temporal regularities, often with minimal explicit feedback, that is known as statistical learning. Despite the importance of statistical learning for making perceptual decisions, we know surprisingly little about the brain circuits and how they change when learning temporal regularities. In my thesis, I combine behavioural measurements, Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) to investigate the structural and functional circuits that are involved in statistical learning of temporal structures. In particular, I compare structural connectivity as measured by DTI and functional connectivity as measured by rs-fMRI before vs. after training to investigate learning-dependent changes in human brain pathways. Further, I combine the two imaging modalities using graph theory and regression analyses to identify key predictors of individual learning performance. Using a prediction task in the context of sequence learning without explicit feedback, I demonstrate that individuals adapt to the environment’s statistics as they change over time from simple repetition to probabilistic combinations. Importantly, I show that learning of temporal structures relates to decision strategy that varies among individuals between two prototypical distributions: matching the exact sequence statistics or selecting the most probable outcome in a given context (i.e. maximising). Further, combining DTI and rs-fMRI, I show that learning-dependent plasticity in dissociable cortico-striatal circuits relates to decision strategy. In particular, matching relates to connectivity between visual cortex, hippocampus and caudate, while maximisation relates to connectivity between frontal and motor cortices and striatum. These findings have potential translational applications, as alternate brain routes may be re-trained to support learning ability when specific pathways (e.g. memory-related circuits) are compromised by age or disease.

The technique applies the principle of growth-based design and uses a conceptual functional block representation of the design structure to provide necessary flexibility to the design algorithms. Two growth based design strategies are proposed and evaluated. The first uses a generalized synthesis-oriented scanning technique, and the second uses an evolutionary strategy. The techniques provide reliable solutions to a variety of multimode design problems. In order to facilitate sufficiently fast numerical analysis, novel enhancements of the mode matching technique are developed and the use of surrogate models is investigated. In addition, to allow physical evaluation of the finished devices, original techniques of measuring multimode devices are formulated and utilised. Two practical problems are used to evaluate the performance of the design procedures. The first is the design of overmoded waveguide chokes for microwave heating facilities, and the second is the design of multimode horns for antenna and spatial power combining applications. Various examples of each type of problem are presented with measurements of manufactured solutions.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: ’n Nuwe tegniek vir die ontwerp van multimodusstelsels binne multimodus golfleier word voorgestel.

Abstract:
Contactless ultrasonic power transfer (UPT), using piezoelectric transducers, is based on transferring energy using acoustic waves, in which the waves are generated by an acoustic source or transmitter and then transferred through an acoustic medium such as water or human tissue to a sensor or receiver. The receiver then converts the mechanical strain induced by the incident acoustic waves to electricity and delivers to an electrical load, in which the electrical power output of the system can be determined. The execution and efficiency of this technology can be significantly enhanced through patterning, focusing, and localization of the transmitted acoustic energy in space to simultaneously power pre-determined distributed sensors or devices. A passive 3D-printed acoustic hologram plate alongside a single transducer can generate arbitrary and pre-designed ultrasound fields in a particular distance from the hologram mounted on the transmitter, i.e., a target plane. This dissertation presents the use of these simple, cost-effective, and high-fidelity acoustic holograms in UPT systems to selectively enhance and pattern the electrical power output from the receivers. Different holograms are numerically designed to create single and multi-focal pressure patterns in a target plane where an array of receivers are placed. The incident sound wave from a transmitter, after passing through the hologram, is manipulated, hence, the output field is the desired pressure field, which excites the receivers located at the pre-determined focal points more significantly. Furthermore, multi-functional holograms are designed to generate multiple images at different target planes and driving frequencies, called, respectively, multi-image-plane and multi-frequency patterning holograms. The multiple desired pressure distributions are encoded on the single hologram plate and each is reconstructed by changing the axial distance and by switching the frequency. Several proof-of-concept experiments are performed to verify the functionality of the computationally designed holograms, which are fabricated using modern 3D-printers, i.e., the desired wavefronts are encoded in the hologram plates' thickness profile, being input to the 3D-printer. The experiments include measurement of output pressure fields in water using needle hydrophones and acquisition of receivers' voltage output in UPT systems. Another technique investigated in this dissertation is the implementation of acoustic impedance matching layers deposited on the front leading surface of the transmitter and receiver transducers. Current UPT systems suffer from significant acoustic losses through the transmission line from a piezoelectric transmitter to an acoustic medium and then to a piezoelectric receiver. This is due to the unfavorable acoustic impedance mismatch between the transducers and the medium, which causes a narrow transducer bandwidth and a considerable reflection of the acoustic pressure waves at the boundary layers. Using matching layers enhance the acoustic power transmission into the medium and then reinforce the input as an excitation into the receiver. Experiments are performed to identify the input acoustic pressure from a cylindrical transmitter to a receiver disk operating in the 33-mode of piezoelectricity. Significant enhancements are obtained in terms of the receiver's electrical power output when implementing a two-layer matching structure. A design platform is also developed that can facilitate the construction of high-fidelity acoustically matched transducers, that is, the material layers' selection and determination of their thicknesses. Furthermore, this dissertation presents a numerical analysis for the dynamical motions of a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)-excited microbubble or stable acoustic cavitation, which includes the effects of acoustic nonlinearity, diffraction, and absorption of the medium, and entails the problem of several biomedical ultrasound applications. Finally, the design and use of acoustic holograms in microfluidic channels are addressed which opens the door of acoustic patterning in particle and cell sorting for medical ultrasound systems.<br>Doctor of Philosophy<br>This dissertation presents several techniques to enhance the wireless transfer of ultrasonic energy in which the sound wave is generated by an acoustic source or transmitter, transferred through an acoustic medium such as water or human tissue to a sensor or receiver. The receiver transducer then converts the vibrational energy into electricity and delivers to an electrical load in which the electrical power output from the system can be determined. The first enhancement technique presented in this dissertation is using a pre-designed and simple structured plate called an acoustic hologram in conjunction with a transmitter transducer to arbitrarily pattern and shape ultrasound fields at a particular distance from the hologram mounted on the transmitter. The desired wavefront such as single or multi-focal pressure fields or an arbitrary image such as a VT image pattern can simply be encoded in the thickness profile of this hologram plate by removing some of the hologram material based on the desired shape. When the sound wave from the transmitter passes this structured plate, it is locally delayed in proportion to the hologram thickness due to the different speed of sound in the hologram material compared to water. In this dissertation, various hologram types are designed numerically to implement in the ultrasonic power transfer (UPT) systems for powering receivers located at the predetermined focal points more significantly and finally, their functionality and performances are verified in several experiments. Current UPT systems suffer from significant acoustic losses through the transmission from a transmitter to an acoustic medium and then to a receiver due to the different acoustic impedance (defined as the product of density and sound speed) between the medium and transducers material, which reflects most of the incident pressure wave at the boundary layers. The second enhancement technology addressed in this dissertation is using intermediate materials, called acoustic impedance matching layers, bonded to the front side of the transmitter and receiver face to alleviate the acoustic impedance mismatch. Experiments are performed to identify the input acoustic pressure from a transmitter to a receiver. Using a two-layer matching structure, significant enhancements are observed in terms of the receiver's electrical power output. A design platform is also developed that can facilitate the construction of high-fidelity acoustically matched transducers, that is, the material layers' selection and determination of their thicknesses. Furthermore, this dissertation presents a numerical analysis for the dynamical motions of a microbubble exposed to a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) field, which entails the problem of several biomedical ultrasound applications such as microbubble-mediated ultrasound therapy or targeted drug delivery. Finally, an enhancement technique involving the design and use of acoustic holograms in microfluidic channels is addressed which opens the door of acoustic patterning in particle and cell sorting for medical ultrasound systems.

Abstract:
In this thesis, we study statistical inference for entropy, divergence, and related functionals of one or two probability distributions. Asymptotic properties of particular nonparametric estimators of such functionals are investigated. We consider estimation from both independent and dependent observations. The thesis consists of an introductory survey of the subject and some related theory and four papers (A-D). In Paper A, we consider a general class of entropy-type functionals which includes, for example, integer order Rényi entropy and certain Bregman divergences. We propose U-statistic estimators of these functionals based on the coincident or epsilon-close vector observations in the corresponding independent and identically distributed samples. We prove some asymptotic properties of the estimators such as consistency and asymptotic normality. Applications of the obtained results related to entropy maximizing distributions, stochastic databases, and image matching are discussed. In Paper B, we provide some important generalizations of the results for continuous distributions in Paper A. The consistency of the estimators is obtained under weaker density assumptions. Moreover, we introduce a class of functionals of quadratic order, including both entropy and divergence, and prove normal limit results for the corresponding estimators which are valid even for densities of low smoothness. The asymptotic properties of a divergence-based two-sample test are also derived. In Paper C, we consider estimation of the quadratic Rényi entropy and some related functionals for the marginal distribution of a stationary m-dependent sequence. We investigate asymptotic properties of the U-statistic estimators for these functionals introduced in Papers A and B when they are based on a sample from such a sequence. We prove consistency, asymptotic normality, and Poisson convergence under mild assumptions for the stationary m-dependent sequence. Applications of the results to time-series databases and entropy-based testing for dependent samples are discussed. In Paper D, we further develop the approach for estimation of quadratic functionals with m-dependent observations introduced in Paper C. We consider quadratic functionals for one or two distributions. The consistency and rate of convergence of the corresponding U-statistic estimators are obtained under weak conditions on the stationary m-dependent sequences. Additionally, we propose estimators based on incomplete U-statistics and show their consistency properties under more general assumptions.

Thesis (Ph.

We develop simple, efficient, randomized algorithms for the first two problems, and prove new lower bounds for the last two problems. For the matching problem, we give an algorithm for constructing perfect or maximum cardinality matchings in non-bipartite graphs. Our algorithm requires O(n") time in graphs with n vertices, where w < 2.38 is the matrix multiplication exponent. This algorithm achieves the best-known running time for dense graphs, and it resolves an open question of Mucha and Sankowski (2004). For the matroid intersection problem, we give an algorithm for constructing a common base or maximum cardinality independent set for two so-called "linear" matroids. Our algorithm has running time O(nrw-1) for matroids with n elements and rank r. This is the best-known running time of any linear matroid intersection algorithm. We also consider lower bounds on the efficiency of matroid intersection algorithms, a question raised by Welsh (1976). Given two matroids of rank r on n elements, it is known that O(nr1.5) oracle queries suffice to solve matroid intersection. However, no non-trivial lower bounds are known. We make the first progress on this question. We describe a family of instances for which (log2 3)n - o(n) queries are necessary to solve these instances. This gives a constant factor improvement over the trivial lower bound for a certain range of parameters. Finally, we consider submodular functions, a generalization of matroids. We give three different proofs that [omega](n) queries are needed to find a minimizer of a submodular function, and prove that [omega](n2/ log n) queries are needed to find all minimizers.<br>by Nicholas James Alexander Harvey.<br>Ph.D.

Abstract:
This dissertation presents several new techniques for the analysis of the long-term production performance of tight gas wells. The main objectives of this work are to determine pressure response function for long-term production for a the slightly compressible liquid case, to determine the original gas in place (OGIP) during pseudosteady state (PSS), to determine OGIP in the transient period, and to determine the effects of these parameters on linear flow in gas wells. Several methods are available in the industry to analyze the production performance of gas wells. One common method is superposition time. This method has the advantage of being able to analyze variable-rate and variable-pressure data, which is usually the nature of field data. However, this method has its shortcomings. In this work, simulation and field cases illustrate the shortcomings of superposition. I present a new normalized pseudotime plotting function for use in the superposition method to smooth field data and more accurately calculate OGIP. The use of this normalized pseudotime is particularly important in the analysis of highly depleted reservoirs with large change in total compressibility where the superposition errors are largest. The new tangent method presented here can calculate the OGIP with current reservoir properties for both constant rate and bottomhole flowing pressure (pwf) production. In this approach pressure-dependent permeability data can be integrated into a modified real gas pseudopressure,m(p), which linearizes the reservoir flow equations and provides correct values for permeability and skin factor. But if the customary real-gas pseudopressure, m(p) is used instead, erroneous values for permeability and skin factor will be calculated. This method uses an exponential equation form for permeability vs. pressure drop. Simulation and field examples confirm that the new correction factor for the rate dependent problem improves the linear model for both PSS and transient period, whether plotted on square-root of time or superposition plots.

Abstract:
Due to a lack of essential knowledge to support functional reasoning from the design requirements of the kinematic compound mechanisms to their constituent mechanisms, the creative conceptual design of kinematic compound mechanisms based on functional synthesis approach is still a challenging task. Through introducing the dynamic partition-matching process between the function layer and the form layer to substitute for the direct function-structure matching in the FBS model, the function-structure matching problem corresponding to deficient functional reasoning knowledge for kinematic compound mechanisms is solved by the authors. The following challenge is how to cluster the divided subset of basic operation actions generated in the form layer during the partition-matching process into a well-organized and complete kinematic behavior that can be matched by the sub-function in the function layer and implemented by a structure in the database. The adopted strategies in this paper are: through defining the correlation indexes between basic operation actions, the basic operation action and its realized function behavior, and its embodied structure, as well as its dynamic behavior characteristics, the clustering possibility for a group of basic operation actions is determined. With the aid of the compatibility conditions between basic operation actions in the form layer and the consistency of the order relations between basic operation actions in the function layer and the form layer respectively, the consistency of the order relations among basic operation actions between the sub-functions in the function layer and the sub-behaviors in the form layer are guaranteed. Then, the optimal matching structures corresponding to the sub-functions in the function layer are determined based on the maximum matching coefficients of basic operation actions. In this way, the subsets of basic operation actions in the form layer are clustered into a number of complete behaviors that can be realized by mechanisms in the structure database and matched by the sub-functions in the function layer. Since multiple functional behaviors of each constituent basic mechanism take part in matching, some novel schemes of compound mechanisms with fewer and simpler constituent mechanisms to implement the overall function may be dug out.
