Abstract:

Most routers, to our knowledge, are difficult for researchers and students without root privileges to implement or modify, because their implementation is in kernel space. GINI is an innovative platform on conventional PCs, which brings the whole functionality of a router into user space. GINI is able to create a complex virtual network consisting of User-Mode Linux (UML), virtual switches and routers. GINI is far more than a simulation engine, because packets on a virtual link may experience real networks by going through UDP tunnels. This thesis also presents a new architecture for bu

The use of small scale Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is quickly becomingcommonplace in many domains. Operating such vehicles often requires using aspecialized radio control (RC) transmitter. One objective of this thesis is toinvestigate the use of other means of controlling a particular type of a UAV - aquadrotor. Two types of alternative devices are investigated, a standard gamingconsole controller PlayStation 3 gamepad (PS3 gamepad) and a smartphone(Android OS based). The purpose of substituting the RC controller is to make iteasier for a novice user to operate a UAV. The second objective

In particular, the motivations, risk-appreciation, and investment behaviours of early adopters and innovators are subject to supposition in the absence of data derived from the user base.

Abstract:

Increased power densities in VLSI chips have led to a need to develop cooling methods that can cope with the increased heat produced by such chips. Currently one of the more attractive methods to meet this goal is through the use of two phase flow of a fluid as changing phase of the material allows high heat transfer rates for a low temperature change. To bring this technology to commercialisation a greater understanding of the underlying physics involved at the microscale is required as there is much debate within literature as to what occurs during two phase flow heat transfer at these scale

Abstract:

Micro air vehicles (MAVs) are small remote controlled aircraft used by military personnel for reconnaissance and are currently powered by batteries. The MAVs rely on the battery for propulsion, navigation, and reconnaissance equipment. The thrust of this research is to develop a fuel cell system capable of higher power densities, higher power to weight ratios, and increased overall power output than the batteries in use today. To this end, a feasibility study is first conducted to determine if fuel cells could be used to replace batteries as the MAV power source and what fuel cell configuratio

How is organizational hybridity constructed at the micro-level? This overarching question is the starting point of this doctoral research. Studies to date suggested institutional entrepreneurs can combine institutional logics to create hybrid organizations. However, simply designing an organization as a hybrid does not a hybrid organization make. Instead, unsettle times within organizations may well provide an opportunity for organizational members, other than founders and entrepreneurs, to deploy available institutional logics as cultural resources.

Abstract:

This DCI thesis investigated the professional practices of micro-influencers in the Creative Industries: influential social media users emerging in engaged smaller online communities. Presented in two projects, the first project develops a theoretical model to define five dimensions of micro-influence identifying the skills, knowledge, and capabilities that shape communication practices in contemporary culture. Project two is a micro-course ‘The Introduction to Micro-Influence for Creative Professionals’ which translates the model into a teachable creative artefact that enables individuals to

Abstract:

This paper attempts to show how fuzzy set theory can be used to weaken some of the stringent, rationality assumptions used in classical micro-economics. The objective of the paper is to see whether by introducing fuzziness we arrive to new results or just only generalizations of classical micro-economic results. We discover that the axiom of completeness is not needed anymore. Using fuzziness will also allow us to better explain the existing gap between delimiting possible choices and making the actual choice. We also introduce the notions of a fuzzy indifference set with a measurable area. Th

Abstract:

<p> The purpose of this qualitative study was to look at how teachers use micro-blogging, in this case Twitter (www.twitter.com), for their own personalized professional learning and how effective Twitter is as a professional development (PD) tool. In order to measure the effectiveness of the tool, the researcher first gleaned nine essential characteristics of effective PD from the literature. This list was validated by experts in the PD community. The significance of this study was to reveal how participants actually used Twitter for PD, what their perspectives on the tool were, and how effe

Abstract:

Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) became possible thanks to the silicon based technology used to fabricate integrated circuits. Originally, MEMS fabrication was limited to silicon based techniques and materials, but the expansion of MEMS applications brought the need of a wider catalog of materials, including polymers, now being used to fabricate MEMS. Polyimide is a very attractive polymer for MEMS fabrication due to its high temperature stability compared to other polymers, low coefficient of thermal expansion, low film stress and low cost. The goal of this thesis is to expand the Poly

Abstract:

The development of a polyimide and metals multi-user surface micro-machining process for Micro-electro-mechanical Systems (MEMS) is presented. The process was designed to be as general as possible, and designed to be capable to fabricate different designs on a single silicon wafer. The process was not optimized with the purpose of fabricating any one specific device but can be tweaked to satisfy individual needs depending on the application. The fabrication process uses Polyimide as the structural material and three separated metallization layers that can be interconnected depending on
