Abstract:

<p> Aircraft are frequently involved in ground damage incidents, and repair costs are often accepted as part of doing business. The Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) estimates ground damage to cost operators $5-10 billion annually. Incident reports, documents from manufacturers or regulatory agencies, and other resources were examined to better understand the problem of ground damage in aviation. Major contributing factors were explained, and two versions of a computer-based model were developed to project costs and show what is possible. One objective was to determine if the models could match t

Abstract:

The arrival of the electric vehicle is being faster than estimated. This growth requires a charging infrastructure that can cover the energy needs of electric mobility. To this end, it is necessary that the charging points be installed in the most suitable places to satisfy the coming demand. The optimal and efficient choice of the location of new charging sites will not only help to absorb more demand, but will also improve the economic prospect and facilitate the adoption of electric vehicles. Tesla is the fastest growing electric vehicle company in recent years, with over 500,000 EVs worldw

Abstract:

The current concerning on potential effect of CO2 on climate change has assigned to the biomass of the tropical forest the importance as a sink of carbon. However, the heterogeneity of the natural ecosystems in tropics has significant implications for biomass estimation. This study proposed different biomass models using destructive sampling for the highly diverse Atlantic Forest. Models from two different approaches: generalized and species-specific were fitted and had the performance compared. Regarding the generalized models, it was proposed different covariates including diameter at breast

Background: Alcohol consumption is one of the most important factors for disease and disability in Europe.

Methods: A microsimulation model was developed to estimate alcohol-attributable diseases and injuries in patients with alcohol dependence and to explore the clinical relevance of reducing alcohol consumption. Results: For all diseases and injuries considered, the number of events (in

The project presents a novel model predictive reference adaptive system (MRAS) speed observer for sensorless induction motor drives applications. The proposed observer is based on the finite control set-model predictive control principle. The rotor position is calculated using a search-based optimization algorithm which ensures a minimum speed tuning error signal at each sampling period. This eliminates the need for a proportional integral (PI) controller which is conventionally employed in the adaption mechanism of MRAS observers.

In this dissertation, different ways of combining neural predictive models or neural-based forecasts are discussed. The proposed approaches consider mostly Gaussian radial basis function networks, which can be efficiently identified and estimated through recursive/adaptive methods. Two different ways of combining are explored to get a final estimate – model mixing and model synthesis –, with the aim of obtaining improvements both in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. In the context of model mixing, the usual framework for linearly combining estimates from different models is extended, t

Abstract:

The thesis provides answers, in one case partial and in the other final, to two conjectures in the area of weighted inequalities for Singular Integral Operators. We study the mapping properties of these operators in weighted Lebesgue spaces with weight w. The novelty of this thesis resides in proving sharp dependence of the operator norm on the Muckenhoupt constant associated to the weigth w for a rich class of Singular Integral operators. The thesis also addresses the end point case p=1, providing counterexamples for the dyadic and continuous settings.

Many modern entry guidance systems depend on predictions of atmospheric parameters, notably atmospheric density, in order to guide the entry vehicle to some desired final state. However, in highly dynamic atmospheric environments such as the Martian atmosphere, the density may vary by as much as 200% from predicted pre-entry trends. This high level of atmospheric density uncertainty can cause significant complications for entry guidance processes and may in extreme scenarios cause complete failure of the entry.

Abstract:

Supplying the right amount of taxis in the right place at the right time is very important for taxi companies. In this paper, the machine learning model Taxi Demand Net (TDNet) is presented which predicts short-term taxi demand in different zones of a city. It is based on WaveNet which is a causal dilated convolutional neural net for time-series generation. TDNet uses historical demand from the last years and transforms features such as time of day, day of week and day of month into 26-hour taxi demand forecasts for all zones in a city. It has been applied to one city in northern Europe and on

Abstract:

To overcome the curse of dimensionality, dimension reduction is important and necessary for understanding the underlying phenomena in a variety of fields. Dimension reduction is the transformation of high-dimensional data into a meaningful representation in the low-dimensional space. It can be further classified into feature selection and feature extraction. In this thesis, which is composed of four projects, the first two focus on feature selection, and the last two concentrate on feature extraction. The content of the thesis is as follows. The first project presents several efficient method

Abstract:

Resumo: O sucesso nos programas de melhoramento genético de milho depende da identificação de genitores com boa capacidade de combinação para a produção de híbridos e também da conservação da variabilidade genética do germoplasma. Os marcadores moleculares são ferramentas da genética molecular, muito empregados em avaliações de diversidade e distância genética, uma vez que possibilitam a identificação de variações diretamente nos genótipos. A maioria dos trabalhos que utilizam a distância genética para predição de híbridos simples tem sido conduzida com germoplasmas de clima temperado. Entreta

Abstract:

Dans le contexte de la théorie bayésienne et de théorie de la décision, l'estimation d'une densité prédictive d'une variable aléatoire occupe une place importante. Typiquement, dans un cadre paramétrique, il y a présence d’information additionnelle pouvant être interprétée sous forme d’une contrainte. Cette thèse porte sur des stratégies et des améliorations, tenant compte de l’information additionnelle, pour obtenir des densités prédictives efficaces et parfois plus performantes que d’autres données dans la littérature. Les résultats s’appliquent pour des modèles avec données gaussie

Abstract:

In this thesis we study the higher-order statistics of Large Scale Structures (LSS). In particular, we examine the potential of the bispectrum (Fourier transform of the three-point correlator) of galaxies for both probing the non-linear regime of structure growth and setting constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity. The starting step is to construct accurate models for the power spectrum (Fourier transform of the two-point correlator) and bispectrum of galaxies by using the predictions of perturbation methods. In addition, the recent developments on the relation between dark matter and gal
