Recognising and localising human actions
Human action recognition in challenging video data is becoming an increasingly important research area. Given the growing number of cameras and robots pointing their lenses at humans, the need for automatic recognition of human actions arises, promising Google-style video search and automatic video …

Review of problems of transferring and localising technology in the Arab world
This research looks at problems related to technology transfer and localisation in theArab countries. Technology is defined in the international context and then related tothe environment of the Arab countries. Technology has a great role to play in thedevelopment of the Arab countries. …

Localising Peacebuilding in South Sudan? A Case of Transitional Justice and Reconciliation
Despite the signing of the 2005 Sudan Comprehensive Peace Agreement that ended the two decades of South-North Sudan war; and the 2015 Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan, to end the current civil war, armed conflicts persist in South Sudan. Two key inadequacies of the liberal …

Localising the global goal of inclusive public parks in New Zealand : A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Planning at Lincoln University
Public parks provide a free opportunity for people to recreate and socialise in a green open space, which is especially beneficial in light of changing housing patterns often lessening the amount of green space privately available to people. However, with people’s needs and preferences differing, …

Three essays on bias, bias reduction and estimation in autoregressive time series models
… variance-covariance matrix which depends on the localising parameter. An interesting feature of this setup is that a consistent estimator of the localising parameter can be constructed. Hence, one can construct a t-statistic which has a standard normal limiting distribution to test the hypothesis …

Ground Vehicles and Ranging Sensors: Structural Properties for Estimation and Control
… achieve local (or weak) constructibility, where localising the robot requires some initial information on the state, such as a sufficiently small set containing the initial position of the robot, or some inaccessible areas of the Cartesian plane. First, we address the global problem: we show that …

Intracranial findings in head injury patients who died at the University Teaching Hospital Lusaka,Zambia
… Only seven of the eighty patients who died had localising signs on admission and two had exploratory burr hole surgery. In the remaining five cases surgery was not done due to indequate evaluation. In a major referral hospital such as the University Teaching Hospital, it is important that the …

The Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) and the Niger Delta: analysing the role of local communities in the programme between 1999 and 2017
… to scholarship on everyday peacebuilding and localising interventions. For policy, the findings recommend integrating top-down and bottom-up efforts for a hybrid approach resonant with the society being transformed.

Robotic 3D Reconstruction Utilising Structure from Motion
… this challenge into sensing, mapping and localising in three dimensions. This thesis seeks to understand and tackle the challenges of recovering 3D information from an environment using vision alone. There is a well-established literature on the principles of doing this, and some …

Rethinking enclave development in view of the African mining vision (AMV): lessons for the social and labour plan system
… of an RBI strategy, then the AMV’s proposal of localising the benefits of mining are appealing. The AMV proposes that a government establishes clear fiscal linkages with mining operations, that there be a clear revenue distribution system and the establishment of a Sovereign Wealth Fund. The …

Hybrid framework for dynamic position determination in multisensor environments
… device is burdened with the responsibility of localising itself. Both of the current approaches have their trade-offs. The basis of this work is to maximise the availability of positioning services allowing mobility between different environments and surroundings while minimising the …

Sparse separation of sources in 3D soundscapes
… Consideration is given to the related problem of localising sources within 3D sound- scapes. Two novel methods are presented, the first using a peak estimation on a spherical histogram constructed using a geodesic grid, the second by adapting a self learning plastic self-organising map to operate …

A magnetometer based payload for a PTOL UAV with application in geophysical surveys
… is the magnetic field or geomagnetic field. By localising magnetic anomalies within the geomagnetic field one can make predictions or inferences about the localised geophysical makeup and potential ore bodies, hydrocarbon deposits or archaeological artefacts that might exist below the surface. …

Political Communication and the Media in Kurdistan

Stability of charged rotating black holes for linear scalar perturbations
… These difficulties are surmounted by localising solutions of the wave equation in phase space and applying the vector field method. Miraculously, as in the Kerr case, superradiance and trapping occur in disjoint regions of phase space and can be dealt with individually. Trapping is a …

Auditory Displays and Assistive Technologies: the use of head movements by visually impaired individuals and their implementation in binaural interfaces
… environment. This is limited not just to localising sound emitting objects, but also obstacles and environmental boundaries, thanks to their ability to extract information from reverberation and sound reflections- all of which can contribute to effective and safe navigation, as well as …

Morphology and Localisation of Patient Hip Replacement-Derived Debris and Hip Prostheses Materials in Macrophages
… was confirmed for these materials in vitro, localising to phagosomes or in the cytoplasm, sometimes in gross quantities. Titanium formed needle-shaped particles which increased apoptosis and altered macrophage appearance. Surface characteristics varied for patient particles, further …

Flagellum assembly in protozoan parasites
… part of a locking mechanism. We observed CEP164C localising to the old flagellum and being recruited to the new flagellum later in the cell cycle. Knockdown of CEP164C caused dysregulation, with the old flagellum elongating and the new one shortening. In T. brucei, CEP164C localizes exclusively to …

Pathogenic impact of immune-related cells in Batten disease

Characterising the adaptive immune response within Ppt1-/- and Cln3-/- mice, we revealed evidence for progressive CNS infiltration by different classes of T-cells in both forms of …
