Preparation, characterisation and transcriptome analysis of RNA frm human vCJD brains.
The pathological mechanisms of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) in the human brain remain poorly understood. Gene expression data may provide insight into the molecular mechanisms involved. This requires analysis of human postmortem brain tissue however; the variability in RNA preparations …

Viability of a BBBEE employee share trusts : a case study of an engineering consulting frm
The Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) policy was created as part of the South African government's drive to correct the inequalities created by the previous apartheid government. This policy rewards companies for empowering previously disadvantaged individuals (PDI's). This empowerment …

Joining the dots: a framework for assessing integration in flood risk management with applications to England and Serbia
… better outcomes for Flood Risk Management (FRM) and society as a whole. However, achieving integration in practice is a recurring challenge, especially for FRM where multiple actors need to work together across fragmented policy domains. To further advance the concept of integration, this …

Improving the economic evaluation of flood risk management studies
… economic evaluation of flood risk management (FRM) studies. The most common types of FRM infrastructure in the United States (U.S.) are dams and levees. The FRM infrastructure in the U.S. is aging with a large number of dams and levees now more than 50 years old and in need of restoration and …

Communities, Institutions and Flood Risk: Mobilising Social Capital to Enhance Community Resilience
… responsible for managing flood risk (FRM framework) were analysed. In the analysis, a specific form of social capital was studied: social capital derived from community-institution links (CISC). CISC was found to be effective in revealing links with the greatest potential to enhance …

FPGA based Uniform Channelizer Implementation
… On the other hand, frequency response masking (FRM) techniques is able to reduce the number of coefficients. Therefore, the full FRM GDFT-FB and alternative narrowband FRM GDFT-FB are both implemented in FPGA platform, in order to achieve a better performance and hardware efficiency.

Power, responsibility and justice : practices of local stakeholder participation in flood risk management in England and Germany
… the fairness of European flood risk management (FRM). As a result, the studies included in this thesis each provide a specific approach to understanding the role of local stakeholder participation in European FRM but taken together provide a rich and multi-sited contribution to current …

Fatigue and fracture reliability and maintainability process for structural systems.
… reliability and maintainability (FRM) process for a structural system is a "replacement/repair renewal" process complicated by a large number of random variables and small failure probabilities for a typical system. The goal of this research is to develop an efficient numerical …

A Study of Fusion Product Effects in Field-Reversed Mirrors
… fusion products (fps) on Field-Reversed Mirror (FRM) reactor concepts has been evaluated through the development of two new computer models. The first code (MCFRM) treats fps as test particles in a fixed background plasma, which is represented as a fluid. MCFRM includes a Monte Carlo treatment of …

Electron Currents in Field Reversed Mirror Dynamics--Theory and Hybrid Simulation
… of electron currents in Field-Reversed Mirror (FRM) dynamics has been studied through both analytic and computational means. In particular, the effects of electron currents near a magnetic field null is closely examined. Since the electrons are not tied to field lines in this region, they are …

Strongly Interacting Fermi Gases, Radio Frequency Spectroscopy and Universality
… crossover problem in the dilute atomic gases frm a general point of view. We show that as a result of the specific properties of the ultra-cold Fermi gases, there exists a universal function which incorporates all the many-body information of the system. Although we do not yet know how to …

Identifying limitations of monitoring the success of river rehabilitation schemes for freshwater fish
… to work towards flood risk management (FRM) whilst still considering river heath. This approach is still in its early stages and there are no examples in the literature that report successful FRM that has incorporated river rehabilitation. Two case studies from an urban river setting on …

The Influence of Cost-sharing Programs on Southern Non-industrial Private Forests
… have been more influential than the FIP, FRM, FSP, SIP, and State run subsidy programs. Reductions in the CRP funding will result in less tree planting; while it is not clear that funding reductions in FIP, or other programs targeted toward reforestation after harvest, will have a negative …

Development of sustainable material for hybrid wall system to improve indoor thermal performance
… the heat transfer. Fiber reinforced mortar (FRM) and thermally enhanced sustainable hybrid (TESH) bricks were developed by optimizing the mix design using Glass Powder, Palm Oil Fly Ash and Oil Palm Fibers based on Taguchi’s Process Parameter approach. Both the FRM and TESH bricks, which …

Learning inside the prediction function
… Finally, we propose Functional risk minimization(FRM), an alternative framework to the standard Empirical risk minimization(ERM) setting where loss functions act in function space rather than output space. We show how we can make learning in this new framework efficient and can lead to improved …

Measurement, Characterization, and Source Apportionment of the Major Chemical Components of Fine Particulate Material, Including Semi-Volatile Species
… methods such as the Federal reference method (FRM) or Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM). However, SVM is often a major fraction of urban aerosols. Recent advances in atmospheric sampling instrumentation allowed for the semi-continuous characterization of urban PM2.5, including …
