Simplified Template Cross Section measurements of associated V H production in the H → b¯b decay channel with √ s = 13 TeV proton-proton collisions at the ATLAS experiment
This thesis presents a Simplified Template Cross-Section (STXS) measurement of the production of the SM Higgs boson in association with a W or Z boson, where the Higgs boson decays to b ¯b and the W/Z boson (V ) decays leptonically. The data used is the full Run-2 ATLAS dataset, corresponding to …

The identity, origin and impact of a 'new' buzzard species breeding in South Africa
South Africa is traditionally known to play host to two taxa of small Buteo, the endemic and uncommon Forest Buzzard B. trizonatus, and Steppe Buzzard B. b. vulpinus, an abundant Palearctic migrant. Since the late 1970s and early 1980s, a number of buzzards appearing unlike B. trizonatus have been …

General analysis of breed-and-burn reactors and limited-separations fuel cycles
A new theoretical framework is introduced, the "neutron excess" concept, which is useful for analyzing breed-and-burn (B&B) reactors and their fuel cycles. Based on this concept, a set of methods has been developed which allows a broad comparison of B&B reactors using different fuels, structural …

Solving hybrid decision-control problems through conflict-directed branch & bound
There exists a large class of problems that incorporate both logical decision and algebraic constraints. For example, in cooperative path planning (CPP) problem, obstacle avoidance can be achieved by selecting a direction in which to avoid every obstacle, which in turn imposes an inequality …
