Land degradation in drylands : resettlement and borehole provision in Gam, Namibia
… provision of boreholes in a semi-arid area in Gam, Namibia. The dissertation specifically seeks to examine the Government of Namibia's political decision on a resettlement programme in Gam and evaluate the impacts of resettlement on ecological and socio-economic variables in Gam.

INVESTIGATION OF RESISTIVE GEODESIC ACOUSTIC MODE IN THE EDGE OF STOR-M TOKAMAK
A new resistive Geodesic Acoustic Mode (GAM) theory is developed by two-fluids analysis and resistive gyro-kinetic formulation in this thesis. An analytical expression is obtained for the resistive GAM frequency. This theory suggests a large collision frequency will prohibit the parallel current in …

The Low Frequency Edge Oscillation in Alcator C-Mod and ASDEX Upgrade I-Mode
… that the LFEO is a Geodesic Acoustic Mode (GAM). The GAM is a toroidally and poloidally symmetric electric potential perturbation that results in a poloidal (m=1) flow and pressure perturbation and poloidal (m=2) magnetic perturbation. A major goal of this thesis was to confirm this …

Bayesian generalized additive model selection
Generalized additive models (GAMs) offer a parsimonious, flexible and interpretable framework for regression, particularly when handling a large numbers of candidate predictors. This thesis addresses the GAM variable selection problem: categorizing each candidate predictor's effect type to be …

Fast and stable smoothing spline analysis of variance models for large samples with applications to electroencephalography data analysis
… expensive, making a generalized additive model (GAM) the preferred method for multivariate smoothing. In this thesis, I propose various approximations and algorithms to stabilize and speed-up the fitting of two-way (or higher-way) SSANOVA models. In particular, I propose (a) an efficient …

The curse of Ham: An Africentric-postcolonial reading of Genesis 9:18-27 in the context of the coloured people of the Cape, South Africa
… people of the Cape in South Africa. The term Gam (which is the Afrikaans word for ‘Ham') is embraced and accepted by many coloured people on the Cape Flats as a descriptor of their ethnic and cultural identity. Yet also, many other coloured people reject this concept of Gam given the …

Aceh conflict resolution lessons learned and the future of Aceh
… between the Government of Indonesia (GoI) and GAM (Free Aceh Movement) was finally signed on August 15, 2005, in Helsinki, Finland. The agreement brought an end to the nearly thirty years of bloody armed conflict that claimed 15,000 lives, displaced tens of thousands and impacted the whole …

Old age mortality in South Africa, 1985-2011
… NEG methods. This model - referred to as the NEG-GAM model in this research - is used to re-estimate the population at each age from 70 and above and to calculate mortality rates since 1985. The population estimates aged 70+ produced using the NEG-GAM model match those from the 2011 census well. …

Spatial and temporal population dynamics of yellow perch (Perca flavescens) in Lake Erie
… models (s-GLM), and generalized additive models (GAM) were compared by examining the goodness-of-fit, reduction of spatial autocorrelation, and prediction errors from cross-validation. The relationship between yellow perch density distribution and spatial and environmental factors was also …

Distribution and abundance of Cape hakes (Merluccius capensis and Merluccius paradoxus) in relation to environmental variation in the Southern Benguela system
… techniques and Generalized Additive Models (GAM), nonparametric regressions without the assumptions of normality or linearity of traditional regression methods, were used to test the hypothesis that trends in hake (M. paradoxus and M. capensis) distribution and abundance are related to ocean …
