Analysing Dynamic Processes in Range Data Sequences
… field (range flow) of a deformable surface and local expansion rates. For the velocity estimation novel differential constraint equations for the depth and intensity data are introduced. These constraint equations are then combined in a general total least squares parameter estimation framework. …

A New Asymptotic Expansion for Sums of Random Variables
In this thesis we look to improve upon local Edgeworth expansions for probability distributions of sums of independent identically distributed random variables. Let X be a random variable with finite variance, and X1, X2, …, a sequence of i.i.d. random variables each with the same distribution as …

IDLE: A Novel Approach to Improving Overlapping Community Detection in Complex Networks
… I use these k-cores as candidate seeds for local community detection. Following a well-defined seed selection process, IDLE builds and prunes their corresponding local communities. It then augments the resulting local communities and puts them together to obtain the global overlapping …

Decoding Sponge City in Shenzhen : resilience program or growth policy?
… other. This thesis examines the phenomenon where local governments, in the face of such dilemmas, have tended to skew "Sponge City" towards pro-growth policies by branding "Sponge New Districts" in urban outskirts, and asks why and how local governments use "Sponge New District" as a potential …

Chemokinrezeptorexpression auf T-Zellen in bronchoalveolärer Lavage und peripherem Blut bei Kindern mit chronischer Bronchitis und interstitiellen Lungenerkrankungen
… to a specific recruitment or alternatively to a local expansion of these cells. Furthermore, CXCR3+CD8+ T cells in bronchoalveolar lavage seem to be characteristic for chronic bronchitis in children.

Greater Jacksonville's Response to the Florida Land Boom of the 1920s
… War I, Jacksonville's leaders concentrated on expansion of industry and commerce to promote their city's growth, rather than building tourism. Jacksonville had not been a major winter resort since the building of railroads southward in the late 1800s, and this made the North Florida city …

Approaches to understanding diversity in rubber and carotenoid synthesis in <i>Hevea brasiliensis </i>latex
… elongation steps. REFSRPP gene family showed a local expansion which appear to be unique to <i>Hevea</i>. A pilot study has demonstrated there is considerable diversity of the genomic region containing the duplicated REFSRPP genes.

Stability of tunnels in water saturated shale under cyclic stresses: investigation on the coupling between mechanical and seepage characteristics
… that water molecules suppressed the rapid expansion of newly formed cracks, leading to a gradual decrease in AE response during the loading process of saturated specimens. A complex-plane fatigue damage model was established, correlating AE parameters with plastic strain rate to predict …
