Abstract:

There is a growing need to manage water resources in a sustainable way, particularly in semi arid areas, with dramatic social and economic development as well as rapid population growth. Optimising water allocation in a river basin is an important aspect ensuring equitable and efficient water use. This research develops an optimisation approach (the Integrated Water Resource Optimisation model, IWRO) to optimise the conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater resources in a sustainable manner. The IWRO model is comprised of a surface water optimisation model (SWO) and the Tsinghua groundw

Le but de la classification est de partager des ensembles de données en sous-ensembles les plus homogènes possibles, c'est-à-dire que les membres d'une classe doivent plus se ressembler entre eux qu'aux membres des autres classes.

Le modèle des blocs latents définit une loi pour chaque croisement de classe d'objets et de classe de variables, et les observations sont supposées indépendantes conditionnellement au choix de ces classes.

Abstract:

Ultra narrow-band filters and the use of two loops in a cascade configuration dominate current clock conditioners based on phase-locked-loop (PLL) schemes. Since a PLL exhibits a low-pass transfer function with respect to the reference clock, the noise performance at very close-to-carrier offset frequencies is still determined by the input signal. Although better cleaning can be achieved with extremely narrow loops, an ultra low cut-off frequency could not be selected since the stability of the configuration deteriorates as the filter bandwidth is reduced. This fact suggests that a full-spectr

Traffic signal systems serve as one of the most powerful control tools in improving the efficiency of surface transportation travel. Traffic operations on arterial roads are particularly complex because of traffic interruptions caused by signalized intersections along the corridor. This dissertation research presents a systematic framework of integrated traffic control in an attempt to break down the complexities into several simpler sub-problems such as pattern recognition, environment-mobility relationships and multi-objective optimization for multi-criterial signal timing design.

Since the birth of the automobile in 1886, its popularity amongst people has risen dramatically owing to the freedom, comfort, speed, safety and unique designs offered by this mode of transport. 2014 saw approximately 71.15 million units of new vehicle sales globally, showing that private car usage is still on the rise. Rapid degradation of the environment and slumped economic growth can be attributed to the automobilecentric transport system.

Following Perron (1989), we consider two models: one allowing for a change in slope and the other for both a change in intercept and slope.

The façade retrofit market faces some key barriers: the selection of performance criteria and the reliability of the performance data. On the demand side, the problem is approached from an investment perspective which creates "split incentives" between the stakeholders who pay for the investment and those who benefit from it. On the supply side, there is an inherent complexity in modeling these options because of the incomplete knowledge of the physical and cost parameters involved in the performance evaluation.

The cornerstone of our production system is based on the concept “take, make, waste”. Moreover, the manufacture of a product requires the input of energy and raw materials which produce waste and products. The latter ultimately end up becoming wastes. In other words, the root problem of this production system is that is designed on a linear, one-way cradle-to grave model (McDonough, W. and Braungart, M., 2002). This approach coupled with the population explosion and our thirst for growth has led to an unprecedented pressure to the environment. The consequences are multiple; climate change, dwi

Abstract:

Urban regeneration has become a frequently and widely used urban transformation strategy in many cities since the beginning of the 1990s. A number of urban regeneration projects have been implemented in declining city centres, old-industrial and harbour sites, and the working-class residential areas and undermined historical heritage sites of cities. The rise and mushrooming of such projects all over the world however brings about the questions related to their success level. This thesis aims to assess the success level of urban regeneration projects according to the measurable (qualitative

Abstract:

The dissertation is a collection of three essays. The first essay is a literature review of participative and IWRM practices in the specific context of the Federal Republic of Brazil, chosen as case study for its modern water management legislation, embracing IWRM paradigms. The essay presents the Brazilian institutional and legislative system, and reviews how different participative approaches have been applied in some states of this country, underlining the criticalities that obstacle an effective development of participatory practices in water management. The second essay presents a methodo

O depósito de resíduos sólidos urbanos em lixões ainda é a prática mais utilizada para a destinação final, principalmente, nos municípios de pequeno porte. O município de Estiva Gerbi, no interior do Estado de São Paulo, área de estudo, tem uma população estimada de 10.223 habita

Aujourd'hui, la fabrication additive (FA) fait évoluer le monde de la fabrication grâce à ses capacités de production de formes complexes couche par couche. L'approche de conception pour la fabrication (DFM) aide à considérer les contraintes de FA et à maîtriser les caractéristiques du produit dans la gestion de son cycle de vie. Plusieurs études sont consacrées à l'approche de conception intégrée pour la FA, mais aucune approche ne prend en compte toutes les étapes du cycle de vie du produit dans le niveau d'optimisation de sa conception et de sa fabrication. Ainsi, cette thèse fournit une ap

Abstract:

Although less than half of all patients with mental disorders seek mental health treatment per se, approximately 80% of all people will visit their primary care physician (PCPs) within a year (Strosahl, 1998). However, it is not well understood how to best handle patients presenting with mental health issues in primary care practices. The purpose of this project was to implement an intervention involving a screening measure for anxiety and mood disorders in a primary care setting to increase the volume of anxiety and mood disorder screening, to increase the accuracy of disorder detection, and

Abstract:

Nell'elaborato si analizzano aspetti della teoria dei giochi e della multi-criteria decision-making. La riflessione serve a proporre le basi per un nuovo modello di protocollo di routing in ambito Mobile Ad-hoc Networks. Questo prototipo mira a generare una rete che riesca a gestirsi in maniera ottimale grazie ad un'acuta tecnica di clusterizzazione. Allo stesso tempo si propone come obiettivo il risparmio energetico e la partecipazione collaborativa di tutti i componenti.
