In today&rsquo<br>s conditions, systems that surround individuals have evolved in structure such that, nature of variable interactions are much more complex and changing continuously. Logistics systems, which constitute an example for such systems, have also necessitated fast management and decision-making in a fast paced environment, under limited sources with the additional effect of increasing customer requirements and competition.

Abstract:
Steel producers that employ niche market strategies are continuously seeking to reduce production cost while maintaining adiverse product mix. The business model is typically based onmarketing of high–strength special or stainless steels. However,the desire to avoid direct cost competition is over time gradually leading towards increased product variety and smaller ordervolumes (tonnes per order) for each product. This thesis analyses how production cost is linked to productvariety in steel strip production. Results are based on new modelsfor assessment of opportunities for performance improve

Firms are heterogeneous in labor productivity. They face a sunk entry cost at home and an additional fixed cost to produce offshore.

Abstract:
While costing methods have developed over time, they are often static in nature and ill-suited to the dynamic nature of production lines. Static costing systems are often developed for long-term analysis. Due to this, they lack the ability to aid short-term decision-making. In addition, the use of averaged data prohibits a static costing system from accurately tracing the cost effects of changing system behavior like random downtime events. A dynamic costing system, however, can capture the cost effects of changing system behavior in a manner that can aid short-term operational management. Th

Use of tubular anaerobic digesters to treat livestock waste in developing countries has energy, agricultural, health, social and environmental benefits. However, careful use of digester effluent as a soil amendment is required due to the potential presence of protozoan parasites Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia. This research investigated the performance of four tubular digesters in the Monteverde region of Costa Rica. High (>75%) volatile solids and BOD5 removal efficiencies were observed, which was attributed to the formation of a biologically active floccular sludge layer. Computa

Hydrogen energy sector has gained significant attention worldwide but one of the key enabling components for its success would be cheaper and sustainable hydrogen production. Hydrogen could be produced directly from natural gas or coal etc; alternatively it could be produced by electrolysis of water powered by renewable energy sources, nuclear energy or fossil fuel. Wind energy is growing rapidly, which can produce cheap hydrogen. Electrolysers can be employed to control the frequency of the electricity grid while also making fuel as a by-product.

The variation of a magnetic field in the vicinity of a zero-energy resonance allows highly vibrationally excited molecules (‘Feshbach molecules’) to be produced from an ultracold atomic gas. In this thesis, we study the dynamics of this process. We begin by studying the dissociation of Feshbach molecules, showing that in the limit of a sudden jump the shape of the spectrum of dissociated atoms can act as a probe of the zero-energy resonance. For some resonances, such jumps are within reach of current experiments. We also study the intermediate region between sudden jumps and asymptotically wid

Abstract:
In urban areas, stormwater management ponds (SWPs) are built to mitigate polluted runoff. Although these ponds are increasing in numbers, their ecology is not well understood. Physical and chemical characteristics of 17 SWPs in the City of Ottawa were measured to determine the drivers of phytoplankton biomass (Chl. a) and primary production (PP). While total phosphorus was the best predictor of algal biomass in the ponds (as in lakes), the imperviousness of the catchment could also predict Chl. a. Planktonic PP in two ponds measured seasonally was more closely related to water residence time t

Abstract:
Over the last three decades the political economy debate abandoned its focus on manufacturing as the main engine of the technological dynamism and the source of the wealth of nations. However recent years have witnessed a renewed interest in manufacturing production. This has led analysts to announce and welcome a worldwide 'manufacturing renaissance' emerging in different contexts with multiple focuses. The thesis provides new analytical and empirical lenses for disentangling the dynamics of manufacturing development. We do this by showing how learning processes are the fundamental category r

Abstract:
O agronegócio expressa-se de múltiplas formas e tem repercussões nos sistemas alimentares e no comportamento das populações locais e globais. As estimativas sugerem que o Brasil se tornará o maior produtor mundial de alimentos nas próximas décadas. Assim, cumpre-se examinar as commodities agrícolas brasileiras e analisar as diferentes mudanças temporais e geográficas relacionadas à produção e ao consumo de alimentos no país. Com vistas a apresentar uma investigação científica que contribua para a construção do conhecimento da dinâmica da produção e do consumo de alimentos no Brasil, esta tese

Abstract:
Dynamics of a macroeconomic system in which national income, cost of money and price-level are in close interaction is studied. Such an interaction is simulated with the help of discrete dynamic system in R3. The system has a curve formed by fixed points, which describe a balanced state of money, goods and service markets. It has been shown that there is a foliation which is transversal to the curve, each layer being invariant for the system. There are layers where balanced state can be both stable and unstable. The system dynamics is changing from layer to layer.

Abstract:
This thesis provides an empirical case study as to whether, and, how the macro political dynamics might lead to the micro organisational changes of cost management practices in public sector organisations. It draws on Dillard et al.'s (2004) version of institutional theory complemented by Burns and Scapens' (2000) model. Empirical data for the thesis came from an extended case study (Burawoy, 1998) of a state-owned enterprise in the Egyptian Electricity and Energy (E&E) Sector, in which semi-structured interviews, field observations and documentary analysis were deployed as the data collection

Abstract:
Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) Simulations enable a wide range of analysis but are costly to perform. This research looks at taking existing geometry from Building Information Models or CAD, and performing Geometric Abstraction to make them ready for simulation quickly, as well as reducing the computational cost to simulate them. The aim is to make CFD more accessible, so it can be applied more readily to existing and new problems.

Abstract:
The main topic of my PhD project regards the effects of the human symmetry on energetic and locomotion. The concept of symmetry, applied in many and different fields, from arts to physical sciences, has been always related to beauty, balance and equilibrium. Most individuals, animals and humans as well, are characterized by an almost complete morphological bilateral symmetry, and the deviation from it caused by environmental stresses, developmental instability and genetic problems, is called Fluctuating Asymmetry (FA). In numerous studies regarding FA, it has been demonstrated that this index
