Accuracy or approximation? : measurement strategy for successful land reforms in Rwanda
The recent land tenure reforms in Rwanda have the potential to permanently influence the debate around land titling and clear property rights. In 2005, when Rwanda decided to abandon traditional property rights and to embrace formal rights, least did it know it would transform itself by moving from …

The MenFAS Study: Understanding Mental Fatigue after Stroke
… evidence of the efficacy of any intervention strategy to treat or prevent post-stroke fatigue (PSF) that considers real world context and environment, such as attention or contextual factors and their potential effect on PSF. A systematic review to describe the full extent of the evidence, was …

Strategies for managing stress: treatment effects and preventive potential of social support and cognitive restructuring interventions
… measures at the designated intervals. A multiple measurement strategy was employed. Few statistically significant between-group differences were found at post-treatment. The preventive potential of the treatments was examined via a post-treatment Probe assessment, held a few days prior to the …

Surface Coat Replacement Dynamics and Antigen Glycosylation in T. Brucei Influence Evasion of the Host Antibody Response
… antibody response. Using a flow cytometry-based measurement strategy, I evaluated the rate of VSG replacement at the trypanosome surface, and showed that full coat replacement requires several days to complete. I then demonstrated through in vivo infection assays that parasites undergoing coat …

Quantitative characterisation of surface finishes on stainless steel sheet using 3D surface topography analysis
… 2D parameters, such as Ra, Rq and Rz. These 2D measurements are not only unreliable due to a lack of standardised measurement methodology, but are also difficult to relate directly to the actual shape of the topography in 3 dimensions. They bear little direct relation to the functional …

Interferometric Methods
… in its antenna elements for its calibration and measurement strategy. The bispectrum with its unique mathematical propeties, in combination with forward modelling, is shown to be a potent tool for probing departures from the assumed reudundancy. It is shown, through this method, that HERA suffers …

Multi-defect localization and evaluation techniques for distribution cables based on time-domain reflectometry
… accurately and quantitatively evaluated in TDR measurements, an evaluation method based on double-frequency Time-Frequency Domain Reflectometry (TFDR) was proposed. The method quantitatively evaluates defect severity by estimating the characteristic impedance and physical size of defects. First, …
