Application of robust nonlinear model predictive control to simulating the control behaviour of a racing driver
… a mathematical model which can replicate the behaviour of a racing driver controlling a vehicle at its handling limit. Most of the models proposed in the literature assume a perfect driver. A formulation taking human limitations into account would serve as a design and simulation tool for the …

A metric-based theory of test selection and coverage for communication protocols
… test selection and coverage evaluation for the control behaviour of network protocol implementations. The key idea is that a fast, completely automated process can uniformly cover the execution subspace of a network protocol control behaviour when characterized by appropriate metric functions, …

An exploratory study of the role of the organization and the repatriate in the repatriation management process
… framework for understanding repatriate control behaviour. It examined the types of repatriation assistance that organizations are providing, the shortcomings of these interventions along with other variables were analyzed for their role in instigating individual control behaviours on …

Procedural conflict and conflict resolution: a cross-national study of police officers from New Zealand and South Australia
… day-to-day activities. Using comparisons of the behaviour of routinely armed officers from South Australia and routinely unarmed officers from New Zealand, this thesis chronicles a research journey which culminates with a new theoretical framework to explain police-citizen encounters. The …

The Myth of good character: assessing the performance of nursing and midwifery pre-registration students using a modified Delphi approach
… practices that exist within the discourse to control behaviour, which was witnessed in this study through the assessment of the students’ ability to operate technologies of the self, as described by Foucault (1988a). Technologies of the self were assessed by the student’s ability to …

Controlled and automatic processes in Pavlovian-instrumental transfer
… even when an S-O-R mechanism was unlikely to control behaviour. Chapter 4 reports five experiments that show that PIT is highly sensitive to outcome devaluation when multiple outcomes and responses are cued on every transfer test trial. Chapter 5 therefore concludes that, on balance, the …

Visual discrimination and object/picture recognition in hens
… to examine different aspects of hen’s visual behaviour, and to assess whether hens responded to photographs in the same way they do to the real objects that were depicted in the photographs. In Experiment 1, six hens were trained to perform either a conditional discrimination (successive) or …

Ontology-Guided Neural Translation of Human-Swarm Teaming State Space
… the most promising of which is a bio-inspired control behaviour known as shepherding. Shepherding, derived from observations of biological systems such as dolphins herding fish and sheepdogs herding sheep, utilises a control agent more intelligent and physically capable than the individuals in …

Measurement and Modelling of Human Car Driving with Steering Torque Feedback
… is an important aspect of a vehicle’s dynamic behaviour and may become more significant in the transition between conventional and automated control. However, there is very little theoretical understanding of its role. The evaluation of steering feel mainly relies on subjective-objective …

Unclean: a qualitative study of nurses’ reported infection control behaviours
… there is a body of work describing infection control behaviours and factors affecting compliance with guidelines there has been little investigation into understanding and explaining behaviours that occur in everyday practice. Understanding such behaviours may provide a key insight into the …

Entwicklung und Validierung einer Simulationsbasis zum Test von Reglern raumlufttechnischer Anlagen
Heutzutage gewinnt die Simulation von Gebäuden und Anlagen zunehmend an Bedeutung, um die Betriebsweise der Anlagen zu diagnostizieren bzw. zu bewerten und den Energiebedarf vorherzusagen. Dabei hängt die erzielte Genauigkeit von dem Kompliziertheitsgrad des angewendeten Simulationsprogramms ab. …
