Abstract:
This thesis addresses the commercialization decisions of academic scientists. Although there is a great deal of research on environmental, university and individual determinants of the formal technology transfer mechanisms, this thesis addresses a gap in the literature by studying how technology characteristics affect the selection of university technology transfer mechanisms. For this purpose the insights from main theoretical sources were combined: a) the economics of technological change and b) the diffusion of innovations theory and a conceptual framework that considers eight characteristi

Abstract:
Researchers have found that a positive correlation exists between information technology (IT) flexibility, IT effectiveness, and strategic alignment in organizations. It has been determined that within inflexible IT environments maintainability is reduced and key business factors become at risk. An IT flexibility measurement matrix was developed to assess IT flexibility however leadership characteristics were not identified for measurement with that model. Determining the leadership characteristics needed for IT flexibility was the purpose of this multiple case study. Leveraging the empowermen

A methodology consisting of an experimental chamber, operational definitions of behavior categories, and methods for quantitative analysis of the use of space by small rodents is presented. The chamber consists of a large open box in which the location of the animal was determined by a grid of 24 x 24 infrared beams. Recording was achieved by sampling every 5 seconds, and storing the status of the 48 photosensors in a disk file for later analysis. Each sample produced a binary matrix with 576 cells identifying the location of the animal at that time. From this sequence of matrices a number of

Abstract:
Nearly half the worlds population is dependent on wood as their primary energy source. Therefore with deforestation becoming increasingly prevalent in many regions of the developing world, there is an urgent need to improve combustion efficiency of stoves or to find alternative fuels. Densification of loose biomass residues into briquettes is a means of upgrading the feedstock material. Briquettes are easier to store, more convenient to use and burn at a more steady and controlled rate than loose biomass. This investigation focuses on understanding some of their combustion characteristics and

A range of titanium-nickel alloys near the equiatomic composition have been processed by cold compaction and vacuum sintering. The effects of compaction pressure, sintering temperature and powder particle size on dimensional changes and densities of sintered compacts are presented. The influence of composition and heat treatment on micro hardness and transformation temperature (M<sub>s</sub>) is described. During sintering, anisotropy of dimensional change occurs, with expansion in the radial and contraction in the axial direction of cylindrical compacts. Greater porosity is found in the sinte

Abstract:
Falling film reactors are a very effective geometry in which to carry out fast exothermic gas-liquid reactions, because they allow easy removal of the heat produced. To optimise and improve falling film reactors, soundly based physical models are required. Existing models assume a flat liquid film combined with empirically-determined mass transfer coefficients, but there is growing evidence that this is unsatisfactory, since the interface is dominated by ripples and larger disturbance waves which have a significant effect on the mass and heat transfer rates through and into the film.

Abstract:
With the demand for more advanced fighter aircraft, relying on relaxed stability or even unstable flight mechanical characteristics to gain flight performance, more focus has been put on model-based system engineering to help with the design work. The flight control system design is one important part that relies on this modeling. Therefore it has become more important to develop flight mechanical models that are highly accurate in the whole flight envelop. For today’s newly developed fighters, the basic aircraft characteristics change between linear and nonlinear as well as stable and unstabl
