Modelling large scale systems with natural and artificial components requires storage of voluminous amounts of knowledge/information as well as computing speed for simulations to provide reliable answers in reasonable time. Computing technology is becoming powerful enough to support such high performance modelling and simulation.

The main focus of this thesis was to assess the performance of a full scale Horizontal Axis Tidal Turbine (HATT), using the CFD package, FluentrM, and measured high shear tidal profiles. Two sites are considered: the Anglesey Skerries and a site in the Severn Estuary, both off the Welsh coast. In order to achieve this aim a number of key steps were performed including the use of an existing laboratory scale prototype HATT to establishing the optimum blade pitch angle and provide an experimental data set. Once established the HATT CFD model was used to scale up from the laboratory scale to 30 m

Abstract:
The Time Reversal (TR) techniques achieve spatio-temporal refocusing either by physical or synthetic retransmission of signals acquired by a set of transceivers in a time-reversed fashion which can be used in various applications, including microwave imaging of hidden targets. This is due to the invariance of wave equations in lossless space. However, the existence of dispersion and loss in the propagation medium breaks this invariance and the resultant TR focusing exhibits frequency and time-dependent degradation. Compensation methods can tackle this degradation to improve focusing resolution

As a result of this exposure, a scale forms during operation and eventually spalls. This spalled scale causes abrasive damage to piston seals and guides, which leads to pressure loss and eventual failure of the engine.

As cloud datacentres continue to grow in scale and complexity, the risk of failure of Virtual Machines (VM) and hosts running several jobs and processing large amount of user request increases and consequently becomes even more difficult to predict potential failures within a datacentre. However, even though fault tolerance continues to be an issue of growing concern in cloud and HPC systems, mitigating the impact of failur

Contudo, a programação desse tipo de arquitetura não é trivial. Pois,além de desenvolver a aplicação, detectar e explicitar a concorrência nela existente, o programador também é responsável por implementar o escalonamento de sua aplicação para efetivamente usar o paralelismo dos aglomerados. Existem ferramentas que se propõem a solucionar esses problemas; a ferra

Abstract:
Doutoramento em Psicologia<br>A distração visual é amplamente estudada em diversos grupos etários. Habitualmente, nessas investigações, os estímulos-alvo e os distratores são apresentados no mesmo display visual (e.g., no ecrã do computador), um procedimento que parece reproduzir insatisfatoriamente as condições diárias em que atuamos. No nosso dia-a-dia, as tarefas são frequentemente realizadas em ambientes que nos cercam com diversos estímulos visuais; contudo pouco se sabe sobre a sua influência concreta no nosso desempenho cognitivo. O objetivo principal deste projeto foi desenvolve

Abstract:
Le concept de pair à pair (P2P) a connu récemment de grands développements dans les domaines du partage de fichiers, du streaming vidéo et des bases de données distribuées. Le développement du concept de parallélisme dans les architectures de microprocesseurs et les avancées en matière de réseaux à haut débit permettent d'envisager de nouvelles applications telles que le calcul intensif distribué. Cependant, la mise en oeuvre de ce nouveau type d'application sur des réseaux P2P pose de nombreux défis comme l'hétérogénéité des machines, le passage à l'échelle et la robustesse. Par ailleurs, les
