Abstract:

La modélisation des phénomènes physiologiques induits par un écoulement, tels que l'écoulement sanguin au travers d'une sténose ou l'écoulement d'air lors de la production de parole, repose souvent sur des théories quasi-unidimensionnelles ou bi-dimensionnelles. Cependant, il est établi que le développement des couches limites dépend de la section transversale. Le but de cette thèse est de modéliser, simuler et caractériser l'importance potentielle de la section transversale sur les écoulements laminaires, contrôlés en pression, en l'absence ou en présence d'une constriction.

Abstract:

The modeling, analysis and experimental verification of a two-degree-of-freedom typical aeroelastic section with superelastic shape memory alloy springs are presented. The focus is to investigate the effects of the phase transformation of the shape memory alloy springs on the flutter and post-flutter behaviors of the typical section. The shape memory alloy phase transformation kinetics is described by a modified version of well-known phenomenological models. The shape memory alloy spring model is based on classical spring design (with the pure shear assumption) and modified to account for the

The environment where a vehicle is used can be harsh and varying in temperatures a lot. For future fast charging systems, a high amount of current will be passed in the conductors.

The main idea of FRPs is the combination, on a macroscopic scale, of two different long continuous fibres and a polymeric resin.

Abstract:

Chrysopelea paradisi, also known as the flying snake, possesses one of the most unique forms of aerial locomotion found in nature, using its entire body as a dynamic lifting surface without the use of wings or membranes. Unlike other airborne creatures, this species lacks appendages to aid in controlling its flight trajectory and producing lift. The snake exhibits exception gliding and maneuvering capabilities compared with other species of gliders despite this lack of appendages. While gliding, C. paradisi morphs its body by expanding its ribs, essentially doubling its width and utilizing

Em função destas vantagens, o confinamento é uma das principais técnicas de reforço de pilares de concreto.

Understanding the shape contribution of natural sections such as palm petioles (modified leaf stalks) is more difficult than those for simple 2D shapes because conventional methods of calculating section properties are not well suited to these irregular shapes.

In recent times, geometric configurations of cooling channel have been found to play an important role in thermal performance. Therefore, an efficient ways of optimally designing these cooling channels shapes is required.

The research analyses the behaviour of the flow in an open channel with self-formed banksides, with the purpose of exploring the ability of a numerical model to predict such geometries. The strategy consists in contrast a numerical model with physical model data. With respect to the numerical model, it is divided in two main parts, the first one describing the flow and the second one defining the cross sectional geometry. For the first part, a quasi 2D flow structure was selected to model the flow, i.e. the Shiono and Knight Model (SKM) (Shiono and Knight, 1991), due to its simplicity and flex

Abstract:

Modelling and forecasting the stock market remains a challenge because of the high volatilities in individual stock prices and the market itself. Hence, this topic has received much attention in the literature since forecast errors represent the systematic risk faced by investors. Therefore, the ability to reliably forecast the future values of the shares would provide essential help in reducing that risk to those investors. The main aim of this research is to develop and calibrate a framework that can be used to model the daily share prices of the companies from the banking sector and hence p

Abstract:

In active portfolio management, fund managers seek to follow an investment strategy with the objective of outperforming an investment benchmark index. Opportunities to outperform a benchmark in active fund management is made possible through crosssectional dispersion of returns in the market. It is cross-sectional volatility of returns that allows fund managers to identify changing trends in market relationships and to take advantage of market opportunities.Quarterly active share and active return data of Domestic General Equity funds was used to determine whether the level of active share and

Abstract:

Obesity and weight-management is primarily focused on improving diet, nutrition and activity levels. Some research suggests that psychological interventions may have a role in weight-management. This thesis sought to better understand whether there is a role for the use of psychological approaches in obesity. Literature Review: A review of literature examining the efficacy of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) as a treatment for weight management was conducted. Ten quantitative studies were included in the review. The evidence showed that CBT had a positive effect on weight-loss in both short

Abstract:

A number of papers have provided empirical evidence suggesting that analysts' earnings forecasts do not conform to Muthian rationality. Analysts' earnings forecasts have been found, in both early research and more recent studies, to be irrational, i.e., biased, inefficient or both (see for instance: Brown et al., 1985 and Easterwood and Nutt, 1999). De Bondt and Thaler (1990), in particular, documented generalised overreaction in the analysts' forecasts, showing that the forecasts, tracked by I/B/E/S, are too optimistic and too extreme to be considered rational. Conversely, a notable study dev

Abstract:

Studies examining bioevents (e.g., mass extinctions, faunal turnovers, diversification events) usually only scrutinize a short interval prior to such events, however, understanding their actual paleobiological implications requires a thorough understanding of the background conditions. The objective of this study is to document the background biodiversity dynamics in a single lithofacies of the Upper Cretaceous Pierre Shale that was deposited in an offshore setting of the Western Interior Seaway (WIS) and to place these changes into an environmental context. To assess the background biodiversi

Abstract:

This research project aims to assess development projects in the energy sector with its focus on the shale gas exploration in the Karoo. The assessment is based on a critical analysis of the concepts and principles of sustainability, complexity and the National Environmental Management Act, using a critical hermeneutics methodology to develop an assessment criterion. Critical hermeneutics is the science and art of interpreting texts, challenging the status quo, its influences and assumptions. Hermeneutics is the reaction to enlightenment fundamentalism, which is an over-reliance on rationality
