Full textAbstract:
<p>Traffic and Feature SW is a department based in Kista. At this department the main processor software, or MPSW in short, in Ericssons Radio Base Stations is tested prior to integration of new releases. Traffic and Feature SW, also called MPSW in this thesis, works closely with another department of Ericsson called RBS System I&V which tests the same software but for complete RBS nodes. MPSW uses black- and greybox scripted testing in regression suites that are executed on a daily basis. These regression suites are separated into different subsets of functionality that maps to the capabilities of the Radio Base Station software. The authors of this thesis has performed an implementation of automated test cases for a subset of the Radio Base Station software using an automated software tool called QuickCheck. These test cases were successfully integrated into the test framework and were able to find several issues with the main processor software and its subsystems in the Radio Base Station. The commissioner of this thesis have plans to further integrate the QuickCheck tool into the test framework, possibly automating test cases for several subsets of the Radio Base Station software. The authors have therefore analysed and put forth metrics that compares the testing of the Radio Base Station software using QuickCheck with the conventional regression test cases. These metrics covers areas such as the cost related to and the inherent capabilities of QuickCheck. The evaluation of these metrics was performed by the authors to give the commissioner decisive information. These evaluations showed that QuickCheck was able to generate complex message stuctures in complex sequences. QuickCheck was also able to shrink both the content of these messages and the length of the sequences of messages to be able to provide a minimal counterexample when a fault was discovered. The only metric that QuickCheck failed to support was to inherit functionality to support the handling of statistics from executions.</p><br><p>Traffic and Feature SW is a department based in Kista.

Lee, Michael. "NBA memes: The role of fan image macros within the online NBA fan community." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 2017. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/108823/1/Michael_Lee_Thesis.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
This project explores internet memes, pinpointing the utilisation of image macros by online-based basketball fans, as a cultural tool for communication, conversation, critique and debate. More specifically, this study focuses on how basketball fans, through image macros, are engaging with different facets of culture, beyond professional sports. The nature of internet memes allow users to create texts that express the tone of their feelings, and this research contends that the idiosyncratic nature of basketball memes are motivated by non-serious sports-related banter, and yet, can potentially offer legitimate cultural insight by often drawing on popular cultural myths and trends.

Geng, Jie. "Development of Nbss/Nb5Si3 based in situ composites." Thesis, University of Surrey, 2006. http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/842934/.
Full textAbstract:
Nb-Si-Cr-Al-Mo base in situ composites with nominal compositions Nb-18Si-5Al-5Cr-5Mo (JG1), Nb-24Ti-18Si-5Al-5Cr-5Mo (JG2), Nb-24Ti-18Si-5Al-5Cr-2Mo (JG3), Nb-24Ti-18Si-5Al- 5Cr-2Mo-5Hf (JG4) and Nb-24Ti-18Si-5Al-5Cr-2Mo-5Hf-5Sn (JG6) were prepared by arc-melting followed by heat treatment. The effects of Mo, Ti, Hf and Sn additions on phase selection, phase transformations, microstructure and oxidation behaviour in the as cast and heat-treated in situ composites were investigated using XRD, SEM, and EPMA. All the alloys are classified as hyper-eutectic alloys since the betaNb5Si3 phase was formed in all the as cast microstructures. After heat treatment, the betaNb5Si3 partly transformed to the alphaNb5Si3 in the presence of Ti. The addition of Ti stabilised the betaNb5Si3 to lower temperatures and increased the solubilities of A1 and Cr in the Nb88. The lattice parameter of the Nb88 increased after heat treatment. This is attributed to the redistribution of solutes between the Nbss and the intermetallic phases and in particular the reduction in Si content. The NbaSi phase was formed in the as cast Hf-free alloys (JGl, JG2 and JG3). However, this phase was unstable at 1500°C and decomposed by a eutectoid transformation to Nb88 and alphaNb5Si3. The eutectoid decomposition was enhanced considerably by the Ti addition. The formation of Nb3Si was suppressed by the Hf addition. In the presence of Ti and Hf, there were Ti and Hf segregations in the Nb5Si3 phase. The Ti solubility in the Hf-rich Nb5Si3 was higher than in the Nb5Si3. The structure of the Nb5Si3 phase was mainly affected by the Hf addition, which prompted the formation of the alphaNb5Si3. The Hf-rich regions in the 5-3 silicide probably corresponded to the alphaNb5Si3, which was stable up to 1500° C in the presence of Hf. The alloying elements Hf and Sn preferentially substituted for Nb in the Nb5Si3 and Nbss, respectively. The addition of Sn had a significant effect on the Nbss, essentially leading to the formation of Sn-rich and Sn-poor parts in the solid solution in the as cast microstructure. In the presence of Sn, the Si solubility in the Nbss increased considerably whilst the Cr solubility decreased. The Sn addition promoted the formation of the Si-rich 014 Laves phase and stabilised this phase at 1300°C. The solubility range of Si in the C14 Laves phase formed in alloys of this study was ~ 6.6 to 10.5at.%. For the Ti containing alloys, titanium nitride formed near the surface of the specimen during heat treatment. Alloy Nb-18Si-15Cr (JG5) was studied to clarify the disputed three-phase fields (Nbss-1-0144- alphaNb5Si3 or Nbss-CrNbSi-l-alphaNb5Si3) near the Nb corner. The C14 Laves formed in both the as cast and heat treated samples. The results confirmed that the C14 Laves phase in the binary Nb-Cr system was stabilised by Si to lower temperatures.

Beaulieu, Daniel Ryan. "A Framing Analysis: The NBA's "One-And-Done"Rule." Scholar Commons, 2012. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/4288.
Full textAbstract:
In 2006, the NBA introduced the "one-and-done" rule that restricted high school graduates to enter directly into the NBA draft following high school. In turn, a high school prospect would essentially now have the option of playing professionally elsewhere (most likely overseas), enter the NBA's Developmental League, or play NCAA basketball. The rule has proved to be quite controversial, as it has had a great effect on both NBA and NCAA basketball, as well as the players. Various media outlets have been quite vocal not only about the rule itself, but the perceived effects it has had on both collegiate and professional basketball. This study will utilize framing theory to explore the way the media has presented the issue to the public, its causal interpretation, any moral evaluations necessary, and any solutions to the problem. This study will utilize a content analysis to analyze not only the media's presentation of the rule, but also what frames have been formed pertaining to the rule's successes and failures. The study will also aim to give a greater understanding of how the basketball media form frames.

Full textAbstract:
Developing, implementing and evaluating models of care that reduce the caesarean section (CS) rate have been a health care priority in Australia since the 1990’s. There is minimal evidence examining models of care that aim to nurture women’s emotional well-being after CS; as well as providing consistent evidence-based information and promoting safe and successful vaginal birth in the subsequent pregnancy. Furthermore the experiences of midwives working in these models have been overlooked.

Thesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2016.<br>This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.<br>Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (page 37).<br>In my thesis, I present the methods I use to predict NBA games using matrix factorization. Matrix factorization is popular through the Netflix recommendation problem, but in general, one can apply it to data that are best modeled as the result of pairwise interaction. My thesis contains three parts. First, I explain how I model NBA prediction as a matrix factorization problem and use the basic low-rank matrix factorization approach to discover structure in the data. I also explain some differences between using matrix factorization for NBA prediction versus that in the Netflix recommendation problem. Second, I use probabilistic matrix factorization (PMF) to incorporate the fact that when two teams play each other, the scores will be different each time. Lastly, I incorporate supplementary information such as the date of the game by combining multiple PMF problems using Gaussian process priors. I replace the scalar latent features with functions of this supplementary information to aid with prediction.<br>by Tuan Tran.<br>M. Eng.
