Applications in Neurorobotics
The field of neurorobotics is still in its infancy; however, its intersecting motivations are not. On the one hand, theories of neuroscience that require immersion in the real-world can be embedded in mobile agents creating complex patterns of activity believed to be a requirement for understanding …

Peridynamics and Applications
Peridynamics is a nonlocal mechanics theory using integro-differential equations without spatial derivatives. Unlike the classical continuum mechanics, peridynamics possesses certain advantages when solving problems involving cracks. In the beginning of the thesis, an analytical solution to the …

International biogas applications
AD plants for the production of biogas have grown steadily in recent years. Animal slurry and sewage sludge have been traditionally used as feedstock for AD, however, substrates such as the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) and energy crops are preferred due to their higher methane …

Applications of Quantum Cryptography
This thesis extends the applicability of quantum cryptography. First, we prove that quantum cryptography at least equals classical cryptography in an important area, namely authentication. The quantum key distribution protocols presented here show that, contrary to previous belief, authentication …

PROFILING - CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS
Profiling is an approach to put a label or a set of labels on a subject, considering the characteristics of this subject. The New Oxford American Dictionary defines profiling as: “recording and analysis of a person’s psychological and behavioral characteristics, so as to assess or predict his/her …

Applications of Galactic Microlensing
Subject of this work is the study of applications of the Galactic Microlensing effect, where the light of a distant star (source) is bend according to Einstein's theory of gravity by the gravitational field of intervening compact mass objects (lenses), creating multiple (however not resolvable) …

Empirical Likelihood With Applications
Empirical likelihood, first introduced by Thomas and Grunkemeier (1975) and later extended in Owen (1988, 1990), is an effective and flexible nonparametric method based on a data-driven likelihood ratio function. It enjoys many advantages over other nonparametric methods, such as automatic …

Virtual Crowd Interactive Applications
This thesis explores virtual crowd interactive applications: applications where large numbers of physically distributed people (tens of thousands) interact as a unified crowd. The purpose is to drive what social psychology identifies as the collective experience, a sense of: unity with many others; …

Environmental Applications of Ultrasound
As previously reported, molybdenum carbonyl and tungsten carbonyl were decomposed sonochemically in hexadecane to form porous aggregates of 2--3 nm high surface area Mo2C and W2C particles. The activity of these materials was studied for the catalytic hydrodehalogenation of aliphatic and aromatic …

Epitome and its applications
Due to the lack of explicit spatial consideration, the existing epitome model may fail for image recognition and target detection, which directly motivates us to propose the so-called spatialized epitome in this thesis. Extended from the original simple graphical model of epitome, the spatialized …
