Abstract:

This thesis explores two novel ways of reducing the data complexity of tactile sensing. The thesis begins by examining the state-of-the art in tactile sensing, not only examining the sensor construction and interpretation of data but also the motivation for these designs. The thesis then proposes two methods for reducing the complexity of data in tactile sensing. The first is a low-power tactile sensing array exploiting a novel application of a pressure-sensitive material called quantum tunnelling composite. The properties of this material in this array form are shown to be beneficial in robot

Abstract:

Presented in this thesis is a summary of the development of gallium arsenide position sensitive detectors. These are aimed at various applications with the original motivation being experimental particle physics. An account is given of basic semiconductor physics relevant to particle detectors. A review of electronics applicable to reading out charged signals from semiconductor detectors is included. Applications of gallium arsenide X-ray detectors are described together with results from a Monte-Carlo simulation of the spectrum obtained from an X-ray source. The design, fabrication and labora

Abstract:

This thesis describes an experimental study of the heat transport between the tip of a Scanning Thermal Microscope –Atomic Force Microscope (SThM-AFM) and nanofabricated sample. SThM is one of the most flexible tools available for measuring thermal transport at the nanoscale. However, heat transfer between the probe and sample has a complicated nature as it depends on different parameters such as the nature of the surrounding gas (pressure, temperature, degree of humidity), and that of the mechanical contact between probe tip and sample (surface roughness and topography, mechanical properties

Deshpande, Amogh. "Topics in risk-sensitive stochastic control." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2014. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/67915/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis consists of three topics whose over-arching theme is based on risk sensitive stochastic control. In the �first topic (chapter 2), we study a problem on benchmark out-performance. We model this as a zero-sum risk-sensitive stochastic game between an investor who as a player wants to maximize the risk-sensitive criterion while the other player ( a stochastic benchmark) tries to minimize this maximum risk-sensitive criterion. We obtain an explicit expression for the strategies for both these two players. In the second topic (chapter 3), we consider a finite horizon risk-sensitive asse

Abstract:

Phase sensitive amplification (PSA) is a remarkably powerful tool if implemented correctly - it allows amplification with a noise figure lower than quantum mechanics normally dictates, and also allows the development of systems that coherently process the phase of their optical inputs. PSA at infrared wavelengths can be achieved using second or third order optical nonlinearities - indeed the first demonstrations of PSA utilised degenerate three photon mixing in bulk crystals, allowing the observation of effects such as quantum quadrature squeezing. This PhD research project was aimed at transl

Abstract:

The upgrade of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) to CLAS12 will offer unique possibilities to study the strong interaction and the internal nucleon dynamics. For this, excellent hadron identification over its full kinematic range is essential and a Ring Imaging CHerenkov detector (RICH) has been proposed for installation into CLAS12 to achieve this. This thesis describes studies performed towards the selection of a photon detector for use in the CLAS12 RICH, which will be a crucial component for the success of the RICH performance. M

Abstract:

In this theses I will concentrate on femtosecond laser induced modification in silica glass. One type of modification in fused silica is subwavelength nanogratings. This modification exhibits form birefringence and therefore optical elements can be fabricated based on nanogratings. The main goal of my work was development and fabrication of practical optical elements based on femtosecond laser induced nanogratings. In order to be able to fabricate optical elements, laser induced modification had to be uniform and exhibit strong birefringence. Also fabrication speed has to be high in order to w

Abstract:

This thesis studies the risk-sensitive control problem for a class of non-linear stochastic systems and its financial applications. The nonlinearity is of the square- root type, and is inspired by applications. The problems of optimal investment and consumption are also considered under several different assumptions on the stochastic interest rate and stochastic volatility. At the beginning, we systematically investigate the nonlinearity of risk-sensitive control problem. It consists of quadratic and square-root terms in the state. Such an optimal control problem can be solved in an explicit c

Abstract:

This thesis describes the development, characterisation and application of a portable spectroscopy system for ultra-sensitive, real-time detection of breath ethane. In healthcare, breath ethane is a widely accepted marker of free radical-induced cell damage and may be used to indicate changes in oxidative stress. The aim was to deliver a compact instrument capable of long-term, on-site use in a clinical environment, while also retaining the high performance previously achieved by lab-based systems at the University of Glasgow. The newly developed instrument has a sensitivity of 70 parts per tr

Dans le monde d'aujourd'hui où la plupart des aspects de la vie moderne sont traités par des systèmes informatiques, la vie privée est de plus en plus une grande préoccupation. En outre, les données ont été générées massivement et traitées en particulier dans les deux dernières années, ce qui motive les personnes et les organisations à externaliser leurs données massives à des environnements infonuagiques offerts par des fournisseurs de services.

Abstract:

In this thesis we present a theoretical approach to the study of the charge recombination reaction in dye sensitised solar cells. An expression for the charge transfer rate at the semiconductor-molecule interface has been derived in chapter 2, within the theoretical framework of the non-adiabatic electron transfer. Computational procedures are presented in chapters 3 and 4 for realistic systems and the comparison with experimental data is reported. In chapter 5 we explore some strategies to impede the charge recombination reaction and we assess the impact of lattice defects on these strategies

Abstract:

This thesis presents a comprehensive example framework on how current multiple model state estimation algorithms for jump Markov linear systems can be improved. The possible improvements are categorized as: -Design of multiple model state estimation algorithms using new criteria. -Improvements obtained using existing multiple model state estimation algorithms. In the first category, risk-sensitive estimation is proposed for jump Markov linear systems. Two types of cost functions namely, the instantaneous and cumulative cost functions related with risk-sensitive estimation are examined and fo

Abstract:

Wide band gap metal oxides have recently become one of the most investigated materials in surface science. Among these metal oxides especially TiO2 attracts great interest, because of its wide range applications, low cost, biocompatibility and ease of analysis by all experimental techniques. The usage of TiO2 as a component in solar cell technology is one of the most investigated applications of TiO2 . The wide band gap of TiO2 renders it inecient for isolated use in solar cells. TiO2 surface are therefore coated with a dye in order to increase eciency. This type of solar cells are called dye

Abstract:

Query Autocompletion is a leading attribute of Search Engines which makes the user’s search experience better by predicting the query. QAC methods suggest query suggestions to users, after they enter some of the keystrokes in the search engine. This is done by predicting the query using past query logs and other trends. Current QAC methods use the Most Popular Completions as the suggestion results. Context and Personalized techniques are proposed already but they are used separately. The present methods being incorporated are the location and past searches sensitive QAC. In this propose
