In shared-disk database systems, disk access has to be scheduled properly to avoid unnecessary contention between processors. The first part of this report studies the allocation of intermediate results of join queries (buckets) on disk and derives heuristics to determine the number of processing nodes and disks to employ. Using an analytical model, we show that declustering should be applied even for single buckets to ensure optimal performance. In the second part, we consider the order of reading the buckets and demonstrate the necessity of highly dynamic load balancing to prevent excessive disk contention, especially under skew conditions.

Distributed real-time databases can be used to support data sharing

for applications in wireless ad-hoc networks. In such networks, topology changes frequently and partitions may be unpredictable and last for an unbounded period. In this thesis, the existing database replication protocol PRiDe is extended to handle such long-lasting partitions. The protocol uses optimistic and detached replication to provide predictable response times in unpredictable networks and forward conflict resolution to guarantee progress.

The extension, pPRiDe, combines update and state transfer strategies. Update transfer for intra-partition communication can reduce bandwidth usage and ease conflict resolution. State transfer for inter partition conflicts removes dependency on a common state between partitions prior to the merge to apply update messages on. This makes the resource usage independent of the life span of partitions. This independence comes at the cost of global data stability guarantees and pPRiDe can thus only provide per partition guarantees. The protocol supports application specific conflict resolution routines for both

state and update conflicts. A basic simulator for mobile ad-hoc networks has been developed to validate that pPRiDe provides eventual consistency.

pPRiDe shows that a hybrid approach to change propagation strategy can be beneficial in networks where collaboration by data sharing within long lasting partitions and predictable resource usage is necessary. These types of systems already require the conflict management routines necessary for pPRiDe and can benefit from an existing protocol.

In addition to pPRiDe and the simulator this thesis provides a flexible object database suitable for future works and an implementation of PRiDe on top of that database.

This thesis will examine closely two aspects of Pauline theology, namely, the timing of the resurrection and the state of the believer who dies before the parousia. Through exegesis of 2 Cor 5:1-10, the basic consistency in Paul's thinking and the arguments for and against the intermediate state will be examined. Chapter 1 analyzes what 1 Thess. 4, 1 Cor. 15, and 2 Cor. 5 have to say on the issue, comparing the passages as to content and compatibility. Chapters 2 and 3 pursue more fully questions related to the issue of postmortem existence. Chapter Two deals with Paul's use of verb $ underline{ eta o iota mu alpha sigma beta alpha iota}$ as a metaphor for death and the idea of the intermediate state as soul-sleep (psychopannychism). Chapter 3 explores the matter of Paul's concept of the "I" or "self" (or "naked" self), raised by Paul in 2 Cor. 5:3. The Pauline anthropology is compared with Hellenistic anthropological dualism in order to show the similarities and differences.

A review of GFP discussing the folding studies to date has been published recently and is discussed in Chapter 1. In Chapter 3, the global and local stability of GFP was probed by measuring the H/D exchange rates of more than 157 assigned amide protons. Analysis of the exchange rates of amide protons of two different pHs allowed verification that amide protons with the β-barrel structure exchange at the EX3 limit, at which free energies of exchange can be calculated. Chemical denaturation was used to unfold the protein, changes in structure being monitored by optical probes (green fluorescence, tyrosine fluorescence, and circular dichroism) in Chapter 4. The results show that the denaturation behaviour of GFP is complex compared to many small proteins: equilibrium is established only very slowly, over the time courses of weeks, suggesting that there are high folding/unfolding energy barriers. H/D exchange rates over a wide range of conditions and as a function of denaturant concentration were undertaken. A super stable core is characterised in Chapter 5. Within this super stable core, there were seven amide hydrogens which resisted H/D exchange even at high pD (8.9), high temperature (37°C), and high concentrations of GdmCl (1.6 M). It is possible that the super stable core is the initiation site of the folding of GFP. Residual structure under denaturing conditions might play an important role in the folding pathway for GFP. The residual structure of the acid-denatured state of GFP has been characterised by far-UV CD, small angle X-ray scattering, and ¹⁹F-NMR techniques, whilst structural properties of this residual structure are still unknown. In Chapter 6 a variety of NMR techniques were applied to study the structure of the denatured state of GFP. These studies provide evidence of residual structure in the acid-denatured state.

The manual approach in software testing is considered as expensive, error-prone, and time-consuming activity since it depends highly on the test engineers. As well, the process of software testing requires proper planning and resources to design the test cases. For this reason, any approach that can be used to enhance or automate the current testing process is necessary. This thesis introduces an approach to transform the Unified Modeling Language (UML) behavioral state machines diagram into a graph database inside Neo4j, a graph database software. Moreover, a framework is proposed that fetches test data from the graph database. Based on the similarity between the state machine notation and the nodes and edges (with properties) in graph databases, a set ofrules for representation is presented in this thesis. Along with a framework based on GRANDstack (full-stack framework), the framework should use the pre-built graph database together with other technologies to generate test cases from the inserted requirements specification. A proof-of-concept is implemented to demonstrate the proposed framework. By using a dedicated schema, the fetched data is matched with the expected results. The results prove that the transformation method and the proposed framework have a good potential to be developed and evaluated with a realistic test from the industry practice. Keywords: requirement, test data, UML, state machine diagram, black-box testing, test case generation, Neo4j, GraphQL API

Music education has been part of the New Zealand curriculum since the nineteenth century yet it has not been perceived as a "mainstream" subject in the school curriculum. This research examines how music has been perceived in the curriculum, and looks at the effectiveness of the teacher in implementing music education programmes during the existence of the Department of Education between 1878 and 1989. While the Education Act of 1877 established the Department of Education, in practical terms the Department only started to function in 1878 and ceased to exist in 1989. External events such as the two economic depressions of the 1890s and the early 1930s, and the two World Wars, had a deleterious effect on music education development. In the local political arena there was inconsistency in attitudes towards the subject that further inhibited growth. The majority of immigrants during the nineteenth century were from Britain. A review of the sight singing movement in England is included in chapter one to determine why singing dominated school music in the New Zealand curriculum. In 1928 the syllabus changed from "singing" to "music." This reflected a wider concept of musical activity, including musical appreciation, movement and the playing of musical instruments. The 1920s represented an era of many new initiatives in school music, dominated by the appointment of the first Supervisor of School Music, E. Douglas Tayler. The subsequent appointments of four British music lecturers to the four Training Colleges augured well for school music. Broadcasts to schools programmes that featured prominently in the lives of many New Zealand school pupils, had begun life with Tayler's music programmes in 1931. The appointment of the National Adviser of Music, W.H. Walden Mills in 1958 represented another important milestone in music education, since no-one had held this position on a national level since Tayler's resignation 27 years earlier. Walden Mills' influence was manifest in the appointments of District Music Advisers during the 1960s who provided a much needed support service to teachers. Further developments in music education occurred during the 1970s with the implementation of special music programmes in certain schools, including the Music Teacher Scheme (MT scheme) and the composers in schools scheme. During the 1970s and 1980s awareness of other cultures became an integral part of school music programmes, and contemporary music of all kinds became an acceptable part of the school environment. Two significant events that reflected changing attitudes towards music education were the publication of the Tait Report in 1970 and the Ritchie Report in 1980. A CD accompanies the thesis giving examples of school songs published in various song books used in New Zealand schools between 1878 and 1980.

The Vocabulary Research Database (VRD) is a research tool comprised of a compilation of state-of-the art academic research in the field of vocabulary acquisition and pedagogy. The VRD has flexible search features that allow users to obtain higher granularity than is possible with other free databases and online search options currently available, making the results more relevant and manageable. These features include the ability to constrain results by date, author, publication, sub-topics, keywords, citation numbers, journal impact factors, and participant ages. It is anticipated that the ability to manipulate results, combined with relevant and current content, will provide language professionals with a valuable tool for accessing vocabulary-specific research, enabling them to better inform and improve their work.

The main material studied in this project is silicon oxide phosphate, often referred to in the literature as Si₅O(PO₄)₆. This material has highly unusual coordination of the silicon (octahedral, as well as the more common tetrahedral). The structure is hexagonal, it has been assigned to space group R -3 and lattice parameters a ≈ 7.85 Å, c ≈ 24.14 Å. This work's main focus is on understanding the interplay between structure and properties in order to enhance protonic conductivity for a fuel cell electrolyte. Silicon oxide phosphate was synthesised with the solid-state method, using a gel precursor made from H₃PO₄, water and SiO₂. Various compositions were made with different P/Si starting ratios, ranging between 0.57 - 1.5. There were small but significant differences in the a,b axes for the different compositions that corresponded to conductivity behaviour of hydrothermally treated P-Si compositions. This correlation was also found to appear in ³¹P NMR for the chemical shift at - 44 ppm for untreated P-Si compositions as well as in the temperatures of the DTA peaks for the hydrothermally treated compositions. This all implies that this particular P-Si system with the addition of water becomes a ternary system that enables protonic conductivity. A proposed mechanism for the protonic conductivity is given where it is suggested that protons flow along the internal channels of the structure using two waters that provide dual pathways for protons. This is possible through utilization of a proton thought to be in the structure (a P_OH bond of 1.57 Å). Protonic conductivity could further be increased in the system by incorporating 85% H₃PO₄ in the P-Si materials, thus these materials act as matrices for the phosphoric acid. Another composition, Ge₅O(PO₄)₆ with 5% extra germanium, was hydrothermally treated and found to have protonic conductivity at higher temperatures than the silicon oxide phosphate analogues.

In this thesis we study several topics within the subject of extra dimensions and composite Higgs models. We first look at a scenario with a warped extra dimension known as the Randall-Sundrum (RS) model, and put all Standard Model fields in the bulk. We investigate various aspects of the model and argue that the presence of higher dimensional operators in the 5D bulk has a non-negligible effect on the electroweak precision observables, meaning that current electroweak constraints on non-custodial warped models could be weaker than previously thought. Then, using holographic techniques, we study correlations between the top partner masses and the Higgs potential in composite Higgs models. It is known that a light Higgs (~ 125 GeV) generally requires light top partners at around 700-800 GeV. However in these calculations the 5D volume is always fixed such that the 5D cutoff is around ~ MPl. The effect of lowering this 5D cutoff has been studied previously in bulk RS models as a way of reducing constraints from some flavour and electroweak precision observables, these models were dubbed "Little Randall-Sundrum models". Here we consider a similar setup in the context of holographic composite Higgs models and show that reducing the 5D cutoff leads to a lighter Higgs without a lowering of the top partner masses or an increase in fine-tuning. We find that the model is perfectly consistent with a 125 GeV Higgs and top partners above 1 TeV. This reduced 5D cutoff implies an intermediate scale between the electroweak scale and the Planck scale. Lastly we consider a similar warped model with a low 5D cutoff, except this time our goal is to study diphoton signals from Kaluza-Klein gravitons in a warped extra dimension. With a KK graviton of mass 750 GeV and spin-1 states at ~ 2:5 TeV, we show that having a low 5D cutoff increases the diphoton signal and the decay to gluons. With this model we show that we can explain the recently observed diphoton excess in terms of a Kaluza-Klein graviton from a holographic composite Higgs model, while keeping other decay channels within the relevant experimental bounds.

Now-a-days the chatbot development has been moving from the field of Artificial-Intelligence labs to the desktops and mobile domain experts. In the fastest growing technology world, most smartphone users spend major time in the messaging apps such as Facebook messenger. A chatbot is a computer program that uses messaging channels to interact with users using natural Languages. Chatbot uses appropriate mapping techniques to transform user inputs into a relational database and fetch the data by calling an existing API and then sends an appropriate response to the user to drive its chats. Drawbacks include the need to learn and use chatbot specific languages such as AIML (Artificial Intelligence Markup Language), high botmaster interference, and the use of non-matured technology. In this project, Facebook messenger based chatbot is proposed to provide domain independent, an easy to use, smart, scalable, dynamic and conversational agent in order to get information about CSUSB. It has the unique functionalities which identify user interactions made by their natural language, and the flawless support of various application domains. This provides an ample of unique scalabilities and abilities that will be evaluated in the future phases of this project.

Анотація:

Many in the Christian tradition accept three theological affirmations: (TA1) That bodily resurrection is not a superfluous hope of afterlife; (TA2) There is immediate post-mortem existence in Paradise; and (TA3) There is numerical identity between pre-mortem and post-resurrection human beings. Many of the same Christians also accept a robust doctrine of The Intermediate State, a paradisiacal disembodied state of existence following the biological death of a human person. I say The Intermediate State makes TAs 1 – 3 an inconsistent set. So, given these TAs, I say that there is no such thing as The Intermediate State and, therefore, it should be jettisoned from Christian theology. Chapter 1 aims to show that, if the TAs are true, Christian theology should jettison The Intermediate State. This is because The Intermediate State specifically undermines TA1. Along with The Intermediate State, Christian theologians should jettison the metaphysics of substance dualism. This is because substance dualism, a metaphysics that The Intermediate State requires, is either false or unmotivated. Substance dualism is false because, minimally, it conflicts with an argument St. Paul lays out in 1 Corinthians 15. And, even if it did not, it lacks motivation for Christian theology because there is no The Intermediate State. In Chapter 1, I advance theological arguments along these lines. If the arguments go through, Christian theology needs a way coherently to speak about afterlife that does not make use of these errant views. If TAs 1 – 3 are true, substance dualism is either false or unmotivated, and The Intermediate State does not obtain, Christian theology requires an amended metaphysics of human persons and an amended metaphysics of time. I attempt to offer such things in Chapters 2 – 5. Chapters 2 and 3 are given over to investigating physicalist and constitution metaphysics of human persons. I find the range of views wanting for a number of philosophical and theological reasons. Chapter 4 is an explication and defense of a hylemorphic metaphysics of human persons and a sustained argument against some leading hylemorphic conceptions that insist the soul of a biologically dead human person can survive the death of the body. Lastly, Chapter 5 offers a theory of time that completes the project’s goal: a coherent metaphysics within which a human person’s death is immediately followed by her eschatological (future) bodily resurrection so that the three TAs are an affirmed and consistent set.

There are many different programs that can perform Computer Aided Design (CAD). In order for these programs to share data, file translations need to occur. These translations have typically been done by IGES and STEP files. With the work done at the BYU CAD Lab to create a multi-engineer synchronous heterogeneous CAD environment, these translation processes have become synchronous by using a server and a database to manage the data. However, this system stores part data in a database. The data in the database cannot be used in traditional Product Lifecycle Management systems. In order to remedy this, a new database was developed that enables every edit made in a CAD part across multiple CAD systems to be stored as well as worked on simultaneously. This allows users to access every action performed in a part. Branching was introduced to the database which allows users to work on multiple configurations of a part simultaneously and reduces file save sizes for different configurations by 98.6% compared to those created by traditional CAD systems.

The work in this thesis mainly focuses on the preparation and characterization of several phosphates and solid oxide systems with the aim of developing new proton conducting materials for intermediate temperature fuel cells (ITFCs). Soft chemical methods such as sol-gel methods and conventional solid state methods were applied for the synthesis of these materials. Aluminum phosphate obtained by a solution method is single phase and belongs to one of the Al(H₂PO₄)₃ allotropies with hexagonal symmetry. The material is stable up to 200°C and decomposes into Al(PO₃)₃ at a higher temperature. The electrical conductivity of pure Al(H₂PO₄)₃ is on the order of 10⁻⁶-10⁻⁷ S/cm, very close to the value for the known proton conductors AlH₃(PO₄)₂•3H₂O and AlH₂P₃O₁₀•2H₂O. Much higher conductivity is observed for samples containing even a trace amount of excess H₃PO₄. It is likely that the conduction path gradually changes from grain interior to the surface as the acid content increases. The conductivity of Al(H₂PO₄)₃-0.5H₃PO₄ exhibited a good stability over the measured 110 hours. Although tin pyrophosphate (SnP₂O₇) has been reported to show a significantly high conductivity (~10⁻² S/cm) at 250°C in various atmospheres, we observed large discrepancies in the electrical properties of SnP₂O₇ prepared by different methods. Using an excess amount of phosphorous in the synthetic procedure generally produces SnP₂O₇ with much higher conductivity (several orders of magnitude higher) than samples with stoichiometric Sn:P ratios in their synthetic procedure. Solid state ³¹P NMR confirmed the presence of residual phosphoric acid for samples with excess starting phosphorous. Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) confirmed an amorphous layer covered the SnP₂O₇ granules which was probably phosphoric acid or condensed phases. Thereby, it is quite likely that the high conductivity of SnP₂O₇ results mainly from the contribution of the residual acid. The conductivity of these samples exhibited a good stability over the measured 80 hours. Based on the observations for SnP₂O₇, we developed a nano core-shell structure based on BPO₄ and P₂O₅ synthesised by solid state methods. The particle size of BPO₄ using this method varied between 10-20 nm depending on the content of P₂O₅. TEM confirmed the existence of an amorphous layer that is homogeneously distributed. The composite exhibits the highest conductivity of 8.8×10⁻² S/cm at 300°C in air for 20% extra P₂O₅ and demonstrates a good stability during the whole measured 110 hours. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) was introduced into the composites in order to increase malleability for fabrication. The conductivity and mechanical strength were optimized by adjusting the PTFE and P₂O₅ content. These organic-inorganic composites demonstrate much better stability at elevated temperature (250°C) over conventional SiC-H₃PO₄-PTFE composites which are common electrolytes for phosphoric acid fuel cells (PAFCs). Fuel cells based on BPO₄-H₃PO₄-PTFE composite as the electrolyte were investigated using pure H₂ and methanol as fuels. A maximum power density of 320 mW/cm² at a voltage of 0.31 V and a maximum current density of 1.9 A/cm² at 200°C were observed for H₂/O₂ fuel cells. A maximum power density of 40 mW/cm² and maximum current of 300 mA/cm² 275°C were observed when 3M methanol was used in the cell. Phosphoric acid was also introduced into materials with internal open structures such as phosphotungstic acid (H₃PW₁₂O₄₀) and heteropolyacid salt ((NH₄)₃PW₁₂O₄₀), for the purpose of acquiring additional connections. The hybrids obtained have a cubic symmetry with enlarged unit cell volume, probably due to the incorporation of phosphoric acid into the internal structures. Solid state ³¹P NMR performed on H₃PW₁₂O₄₀-xH₃PO₄ (x = 0-3) showed additional peaks at high acid content which could not assigned to phosphorus from the starting materials, suggesting a strong interaction between H₃PW₁₂O₄₀ and H₃PO₄. The conductivity of hybrids was improved significantly compared with samples without phosphoric acid. Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR) suggest the existence of large amount of hydrogen bonds (OH••••O) that may responsible for the high conductivity. A H₂/O₂ fuel cell based on H₃PW₁₂O₄₀-H₃PO₄-PTFE exhibited a peak power density of 2.7 mW/cm² at 0.3 V in ambient temperature. Solid oxide proton conductors based on yttrium doped BaZrO₃ were investigated by introducing potassium or lanthanum at the A-sites. The materials were prepared by different methods and were obtained as a single phase with space group Pm-3m (221). The unit cell of these samples is slightly smaller than the undoped one. The upper limit of solid solution formation on the A-sites for potassium is between 5 ~ 10% as introducing more K results in the occurrence of a second phase or impurities such as YSZ (yttrium stabilized zirconium). K doped Barium zirconates showed an improved water uptake capability even with 5% K doping, whereas for La doped ones, water uptake is strongly dependent on particle size and synthetic history. The conductivity of K doped BaZrO₃ was improved by a factor of two (2×10⁻³ S/cm) at 600°C compared with undoped material. Fuel cells based on Pt/Ba₀₋₉₅K₀₋₀₅Zr₀₋₈₅Y₀₋₁₁Zn₀₋₀₄O[subscript(3-δ)]/Pt under humidified 5% H₂/air conditions gave a maximum power density 7.7 mWcm⁻² at 718°C and an interfacial resistance 4 Ωcm⁻². While for La doped samples, the conductivity was comparable with undoped ones; the benefits of introducing lanthanum at A-sites may not be so obvious as deficiency of barium is one factor that leads to the diminishing conductivity.

This study is concerned with the issue of using the microcomputer in teaching Arabic Grammar (verbal sentences) in the intermediate schools of the State of Kuwait. It lays down some of the essential foundation work necessary for bringing about systematic and constructive improvements in the teaching of Arabic Grammar by computers. However, our main concern in this study is, as we have said, with the teaching of one of the aspects of Arabic Grammar, in the above situation. Although the use of computers for this purpose has only just begun, the perspective of our approach will hopefully to some extent, encourage their wider use. The present study is divided into five chapters. Chapter one offers a general introduction to the main subject. The hypotheses made in this chapter constitute the general framework for the following chapters. The teaching of Western languages by computer as opposed to the non-availability of such methods in the Arab world, is discussed in chapter two. Chapter three provides a background on which the practical side of our study is based. The sources and methodology of our experimental work in this thesis are also treated in this chapter. vii Chapter four is concerned with the results of this experiment and the measurement of pupils' achievements in Arabic Grammar during the experiment. A comparison between the traditional method and that of the computer is established by means of analysing the data concerned. The last chapter concludes with suggestions for further specific research needed in this field.

The thesis investigates post-mortem spiritual development with particular reference to the final destiny of the unevangelised in the context of open theism, using the concept of an intermediate state between death and the final consummation. Scripture warrant for the existence of an intermediate state is outlined and the occurrence of the idea in Patristic, medieval and Reformation theology noted. Varied interpretations of Christ’s descent to the underworld are given including the possibility of a grace-filled post-mortem encounter with Christ for the unevangelised. The main tenets of open theism are expounded, affirming the openness of God to interaction with his creatures. Emphasis is put on God’s limitation of his own sovereignty to allow for libertarian freedom with humans participating in choosing their own destiny in response to God’s grace. The idea of a change of direction or ‘second change’ after death is preferred to final decisions regarding destiny requiring to be made in this life. Spiritual development, and even conversion, are conceived as taking place in an intermediate state, leading to a theological position of ‘hopeful’ rather than dogmatic universalism. Finally, the practical consequences for the life of the Church are studied, including pastoral care, theodicy as an aid to mission, and the advancement of dialogue with people of other faiths.

We present a spectral analysis of the spectrum from the Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (HST/COS) of the southern VY Scl nova-like variable BB Doradus, obtained as part of a Cycle 20 HST/COS survey of accreting white dwarfs (WDs) in cataclysmic variables. BB Dor was observed with COS during an intermediate state with a low mass accretion rate, thereby allowing an estimate of the WD temperature. The results of our spectral analysis show that the WD is a significant far-ultraviolet (FUV) component of the spectrum with a temperature of about 35,000-50,000 K, assuming a WD mass of 0.80 M-circle dot (log(g) = 8.4). The disk, with a mass accretion rate of approximate to 10(-10) M-circle dot yr(-1), contributes about 1/5 to 1/2 of the FUV flux.

CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) denotes the methodology used to assess thermodynamic data based on experiments as well as on first principles calculations. Essential for this method is the coupling of phase diagram and thermodynamic properties. It has been widely and successfully applied for decades in the field of materials science and engineering. Nevertheless, some shortcomings of the existing thermodynamic databases call for updated descriptions with improved thermodynamic modeling from unary, binary to ternary and higher-order systems. This thesis attempts to pioneer the development of a new generation of CALPHAD databases taking C-Co-Cr alloys with subsystems, unaries and binaries, as example. The present modeling and assessment work not only validate the new models applied in the development of the next, the 3rd, generation database, but also result in improved descriptions in a wider temperature range.In this 3rd generation database, thermodynamic descriptions are valid from 0 K up to high temperatures above liquidus. The Einstein model, rather than the polynomial basis functions used in the previous 2nd generation database, is applied to model the harmonic lattice vibration contribution to the heat capacity of condensed phases at low temperatures. In addition, terms describing the electronic excitations and anharmonic lattice vibrations, as well as the magnetic contribution, are added. A generalized two-state model is employed for the liquid phase to describe the gradual transition from the liquid to amorphous state. A revised magnetic model is adopted accounting for both the ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic states explicitly. A newly suggested method to avoid violating the 3rd law of thermodynamics is adopted for e.g. stoichiometric phases. However, there is still some concern as Nernst’s heat theorem which states that 𝑑𝐶𝑃/𝑑𝑇 is zero at 0 K is not obeyed. All solution phases are modelled within the framework of the compound energy formalism (CEF).The task of the thesis is to construct an updated self-consistent thermodynamic description of the C-Co-Cr system for the third generation CALPHAD databases. The improvement is significant from a modeling point of view when compared to the second generation database. A good agreement between the calculated thermodynamic properties and the experimental data is achieved. The reliability of the extrapolations of unary and binary systems into higher order systems is demonstrated.

This master thesis concern relational databases and their query optimizer’s sensitivity to cardinality estimates and the e!ect the quality of the estimate has on the number of different access methods used for the same relation. Two databases are evaluated — PostgreSQL and MariaDB — on a real-world dataset to provide realistic results. The evaluation was done via a tool implemented in Clojure and tests were conducted on a query and subsets of it with varying sample sizes used when estimating cardinality. The results indicate that MariaDB’s query optimizer is less sensitive to cardinality estimates and for all tests select the same access methods, regardless of the quality of the cardinality estimate. This stands in contrast to PostgreSQL’s query optimizer which will vary between using an index or doing a full table scan depending on the estimated cardinality. Finally, it is also found that the predicate value used in the query a!ects the access method used. Both PostgreSQL and MariaDB are found sensitive to this property, with MariaDB having the largest number of di!erent access methods used depending on predicate value.
Detta examensarbete behandlar relationella databaseer och hur stor påverkan kvaliteten på den uppskattade kardinaliteten har på antalet olika metoder som används för att hämta data från samma relation. Två databaser testades — PostgreSQL och MariaDB — på ett verkligt dataset för att ge realistiska resultat. Utvärderingen gjordes med hjälp av ett verktyg implementerat i Clojure och testerna gjordes på en query, och delvarianter av den, med varierande stora sample sizes för kardinalitetsuppskattningen. Resultaten indikerar att MariaDBs query optimizer inte påverkas av kardinalitetsuppskattningen, för alla testerna valde den samma metod för att hämta datan. Detta skiljer sig mot PostgreSQLs query optimizer som varierade mellan att använda sig av index eller göra en full table scan beroende på den uppskattade kardinaliteten. Slutligen pekade även resultaten på att båda databasernas query optimizers varierade metod för att hämta data beroende på värdet i predikatet som användes i queryn.

Poucos estudos têm se dedicado a explorar de forma mais sistemática o processo que levou ao fim do Reino Antigo (2686 a 2160 a.C.) e ao advento do Primeiro Período Intermediário (2160-2055 a.C.) no Antigo Egito. A relativa escassez de fontes sempre foi um dos argumentos usados para rotular esse momento da história egípcia como uma idade das trevas, na qual a civilização do Nilo teria mergulhado em profundo caos decorrente do enfraquecimento da monarquia unificada articulada em torno do faraó e da elite menfita. Nesse entendimento períodos como esse, de retração da capacidade centralizadora do Estado, permanecem alijados da histórica política egípcia e são encarados como meros hiatos dentro de um curso supostamente natural de centralização política. Pretendendo rever essas interpretações, este estudo se debruça sobre a organização da administração estatal egípcia no período que cobre especialmente da Vª dinastia ao Primeiro Período Intermediário. A análise da documentação, que engloba decretos régios e autobiografias inscritas nas tumbas de alguns dos mais destacados funcionários dessa época, demonstra que a corrente percepção acerca do fim do Reino Antigo, na qual as reformas administrativas empreendidas entre a Vª e VIª dinastias teriam provocado excesso de poder das elites locais, levando-as a se autonomizar e a concorrer com o próprio Estado, é equivocada. Partindo de um concepção materialista a respeito do que se entende por Estado foi possível notar que o poder das elites provinciais, no Reino Antigo, articulava-se em torno de pelo menos três eixos principais: através do exercício de funções burocráticas na administração estatal; como responsáveis por instalações régias nas províncias, a exemplo do Hwt; e por intermédio da administração e sacerdócio tanto em templos de divindades locais quanto nas chamadas capelas do ka, destinadas ao culto dos monarcas egípcios. A conclusão é a de que a autonomia de certos grupos provinciais frente ao poder menfita se dá somente após o enfraquecimento deste último, não estabelecendo com ele uma relação causal. Tal autonomia não se configura, igualmente, como um processo de oposição ao Estado, uma vez que elites locais e Estado sei inseriam na lógica estatal por meio de laços de solidariedade e reciprocidade essenciais ao equilíbrio de ambos. Ao ofertar nova luz ao estudo da administração egípcia busca-se repensar as condições que levaram ao declínio do Reino Antigo, assim como reavaliar o lugar do Primeiro Período Intermediário na história egípcia através de uma perspectiva integradora, inserindo-o na dinâmica das relações de poder que marcaram a trajetória dessa sociedade como um momento fundamental no qual administração estatal, longe de entrar em colapso, reorganizase e se rearticula.
Only a few studies have systematically explored the process that led to the ending of the Old Kingdom (2686-2160 B.C) and the arrival of the First Intermediate Period (2160-2055 B.C) in Ancient Egypt. The relative lack of sources has always been an argument to label this moment of the Egyptian history has a period of dark ages, when the Nile civilization supposedly dived into deep chaos due to the weakening of the unified monarchy that jointed around the pharaoh and the Memphite elite. To this understanding, periods like that one, in which the States centralizing capacity retracted, remain excluded from the Egyptian political history and are faced as mere hiatus in a supposedly natural course of political centralization. Aiming to revise such interpretations, the present study discusses the organization of the Egyptian State administration from the 5th dynasty to the First Intermediate Period. The analysis of documents like royal decrees and autobiographies written in the tombs of some of the more distinguished officers of the period, points out the misconception of the current comprehension about the ending of the Old Kingdom. From our point of view, the administrative reforms made between the 5th and the 6th dynasties did not necessarily provoke an excess of power among the local elites, and therefore did not necessarily lead them to become autonomous and then concur with the State. By having in mind a materialistic conception of State, we could notice that the provincial elites power during the Old Kingdom jointed around at least three main perspectives: the exercise of bureaucratic functions in the State administration; the responsibility for royal installations in the provinces, like the hwt for example; and the administration and priesthood in local divinities temples and ka chapels, destined to the cult of the Egyptian monarchs. We have concluded that certain provincial groups started to become autonomous and to face the Memphite power only after this ones hegemony started to weaken; therefore, there is no causal relation. In the same way, such autonomy did not mean an opposition to the State, since the local elites and the State were bounded by solidarity and reciprocity laces which were essential to the balance of both. By offering a new perspective to the study of the Egyptian administration, we aim to rethink the conditions that led to the fall of the Old Kingdom and reevaluate the place of the First Intermediate Period in Egyptian history. We propose an integrating perspective that puts this period into the dynamics of power relations that marked the trajectory of that society as a fundamental moment in which the State administration, far from collapsing, reorganized and rearticulated itself.

In this thesis, the focus is on studying BaZrO3-BaCeO3 based proton conductors due to that they represent very promising proton conductors to be used for Intermediate Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (ITSOFCs). Here, dense BaZr0.5Ce0.3Y0.2O3-δ (BZCY532) ceramics were selected as the major studied materials. These ceramics were prepared by different sintering methods and doping strategies. Based on achieved results, the thesis work can simply be divided into the following parts: 1) An improved synthesis method, which included a water-based milling procedure followed by a freeze-drying post-processing, was presented. A lowered calcination and sintering temperature for a Hf0.7Y0.3O2-δ (YSH) compound was achieved. The value of the relative density in this work was higher than previously reported data. It is also concluded that this improved method can be used for mass-production of ceramics. 2) As the solid-state reactive sintering (SSRS) represent a cost-effective sintering method, the sintering behaviors of proton conductors BaZrxCe0.8-xLn0.2O3-δ (x = 0.8, 0.5, 0.1; Ln = Y, Sm, Gd, Dy) during the SSRS process were investigated. According to the obtained results, it was found that the sintering temperature will decrease, when the Ce content increases from 0 (BZCLn802) to 0.3 (BZCLn532) and 0.7 (BZCLn172). Moreover, the radii of the dopant ions similar to the radii of Zr4+ or Ce4+ ions show a better sinterability. This means that it is possible to obtain dense ceramics at a lower temperature. Moreover, the conductivities of dense BZCLn532 ceramics were determined. The conductivity data indicate that dense BZCY532 ceramics are good candidates as either oxygen ion conductors or proton conductors used for ITSOFCs. 3) The effect of NiO on the sintering behaviors, morphologies and conductivities of BZCY532 based electrolytes were systematically investigated. According to the achieved results, it can be concluded that the dense BZCY532B ceramics (NiO was added during ball-milling before a powder mixture calcination) show an enhanced oxygen and proton conductivity. Also, that BZCY532A (NiO was added after a powder mixture calcination) and BZCY532N (No NiO was added in the whole preparation procedures) showed lower values. In addition, dense BZCY532B and BZCY532N ceramics showed only small electronic conductivities, when the testing temperature was lower than 800 ℃. However, the BZCY532A ceramics revealed an obvious electronic conduction, when they were tested in the range of 600 ℃ to 800 ℃. Therefore, it is preferable to add the NiO powder during the BZCY532 powder preparation, which can lower the sintering temperature and also increase the conductivity. 4) Dense BZCY532 ceramics were successfully prepared by using the Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) method at a temperature of 1350 ℃ with a holding time of 5 min. It was found that a lower sintering temperature (< 1400 ℃) and a very fast cooling rate (> 200 ℃/min) are two key parameters to prepare dense BZCY532 ceramics. These results confirm that the SPS technique represents a feasible and cost-effective sintering method to prepare dense Ce-containing BaZrO3-BaCeO3 based proton conductors. 5) Finally, a preliminary study for preparation of Ce0.8Sm0.2O2-δ (SDC) and BZCY532 basedcomposite electrolytes was carried out. The novel SDC-BZCY532 based composite electrolytes were prepared by using the powder mixing and co-sintering method. The sintering behaviors, morphologies and ionic conductivities of the composite electrolytes were investigated. The obtained results show that the composite electrolyte with a composition of 60SDC-40BZCY532 has the highest conductivity. In contrast, the composite electrolyte with a composition of 40SDC-60BZCY532 shows the lowest conductivity. In summary, the results show that BaZrO3-BaCeO3 based proton-conducting ceramic materials represent very promising materials for future ITSOFCs electrolyte applications.

The growing concept of "customer-oriented approach", and market competitiveness led to the adoption of Total Quality Management and re-engineering in school management. The purpose of this study was to compare and analyse the level of implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) principles in selected Kuwaiti female schools. This was with regard to the principals' roles, as assessed by principals, teachers, senior teachers and parents. This study aimed to: (a) identify principles of TQM in school leaders' practices; (b) recognise perspectives of teachers, senior teachers and parents of TQM in their working lives; and finally (c) examine if there is a mismatch between head teachers' attitudes and their perceptions of their actual roles in implementing Quality Management principles. To achieve these objectives, a combined research approach involving a triangulation of methods was adopted; data was gathered through semi-structured interviews that were audio-taped and transcribed verbatim. The findings from a multi-step interview process were used to build a conceptual framework for TQM principles, to show their presence and applicability in Kuwaiti female schools. Then the data was used to build a questionnaire administered to head teachers in order to gain their perceptions of TQM application, its desirable elements and possible implementation. Conclusions indicate that the overall concept of TQM in female middle schools in Kuwait, as perceived by subjects of the study, must be understood from a variety of perspectives and at multiple micro-and-macro levels. At the macro-level, TQM principles need to be considered, processed, and applied through the various systems and subsystems within a school district. At the micro-level, each individual who functions as a shareholder in the educational process (parents, teachers, principals, students) must practice these principles until they become intuitive. One common theme that was detected in this study is that the TQM principles are interrelated and integrative.

La photoluminescence d'un monocristal de semiconducteur semignétique Cd0.8Mn0.2Te est étudiée en fonction de la température, du champ magnétique, de la puissance et de l'énergie d'excitation. L'analyse de la forme de raie montre que la luminescence sous excitation bande-à-bande contient deux composantes: le polaron magnétique de l'exciton et de l'exciton lié à un accepteur neutre. On déduit une intégrale d'échange de 0.35 eV pour le trou lié à un accepteur profond. La luminescence anti-Stokes observée sous excitation à basse énergie est attribuée à un processus d'absorption à deux étapes. Ses propriétés s'expliquent grâce à la réabsorption. Les puits quantiques semimagnétiques sont utilisés pour l'imagerie du flux magnétique dans des films supraconducteurs de type I. Alors que la croissance des lamelles de flux obéit aux prédictions théoriques, celle des tubes de flux est bloquée. Le diamètre moyen des tubes de flux est déterminé par l'énergie d'interface et la self-énergie magnétique.
