Micromechanics-Based Analysis of Fiber-Reinforced Laminated Composites
A procedure for three-dimensional nonlinear material modelling of fiber-reinforced laminated composites is presented. The material modelling procedure has a two-level hierarchical structure. At the bottom level, constitutive information about the fiber and the matrix phases are synthesized using a …

Systems biology approaches to the computational modelling of trypanothione metabolism in Trypanosoma brucei
This work presents an advanced modelling procedure, which applies both structural modelling and kinetic modelling approaches to the trypanothione metabolic network in the bloodstream form of Trypanosoma brucei, the parasite responsible for African Sleeping sickness. Trypanothione has previously …

Validating Gaussian Process Models in Computer Experiments
… discrepancy models are useful tools during the modelling procedure. Based on the result of the diagnostics, we can identify problems such as underconfidence, overconfidence, poor estimation of some unknown parameters, which if not identified might compromise analyses using the Gaussian process …

Control strategies for blended braking in road vehicles. A study of control strategies for blended friction and regenerative braking in road vehicles based on maximising energy recovery while always meeting the driver demand.
… here has established a new robust dynamic modelling procedure for the design of combined regenerative and hydraulic braking systems. Direct torque control and pressure control were selected as the control criteria in both brakes. Two simulation models have been developed in Matlab/Simulink …

Bayesian and geostatistical analysis of the effect of air pollution on asthma hospitalisation in Perth
… techniques within the hierarchical stages of modelling procedure. The air pollutant concentration in Perth was estimated with the Gaussian Plume Model (GPM) and the lognormal kriging. The risk of asthma hospitalisation was calculated using Bayesian Hierarchical Model (BHM). The outputs from …

Scheduling of flexible manufacturing systems integrating petri nets and artificial intelligence methods.
… that clearly show the convenience of PNs as a modelling tool for FIVIS. It addresses the problem of the integration of PN and Al based search methods. Whilst this is recognised as a potentially important approach to the scheduling of FIVIS there is a lack of any clear evidence that practical …

The exploration of a multi-dimensional safe behaviour model for construction workers in Hong Kong : a structural equation modelling approach
… variables identified. A Structural Equation Modelling procedure shows that the hypothesised Multi-Dimensional Safe Behaviour Model fits the data reflecting the necessity of adopting a holistic approach in addressing behavioural issues. "Safety Attitude" is found to impose a positive effect on …

Optimisation of pedotransfer function models for soil hydraulic properties using an artificial neural network ensemble method
… and this thesis focusses on the potential and modelling methodologies of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) ensembles as a means by which to construct PTFs. The individual processes of the ensemble modelling procedure are examined herein, and suggestions as to how they may be improved upon, by …

Analysis of the propulsion and manoeuvring characteristics of survey-style AUVs and the development of a multi-purpose AUV
… The results are used to develop a new, simple modelling procedure representing the performance of tunnel thrusters on an AUV which facilitates the incorporation of the characteristics of tunnel thrusters into numerical simulations of AUV performance. Such a simulation is used to examine …

Investigating the ecological and economic consequences of marine climate change in UK waters
… depend on them. This requires a combination of modelling techniques, making use of a variety of data while dealing with uncertainty at many stages of the modelling procedure. This thesis explores the impact of climate change on a marine socio-ecological system, in particular through …

Constitutive modelling of cork-polyurethane gel composites
… crucial information for the constitutive modelling procedure. From the experimental tests was possible to conclude that CPGC is mechanically characterized by a nonlinear elastic behaviour at large deformations (hyperelastic behaviour) and a dissipative behaviour evidenced by the hysteretic …

Model-based fault detection and isolation techniques for wind turbines
… used for simulation purposes. The stages of the modelling procedure were to divide the overall wind turbine system into appropriate sub-models suitable for separate modelling. Each sub-model was then presented and combined in order to obtain a completed non-linear wind turbine model. Two methods …

The effect of simulated training on basketball performance : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Applied Science at Lincoln University
… variability were estimated using a mixed modelling procedure in the Statistical Analysis System (Version 9.3, SAS Institute, Cary, North Carolina, USA). At baseline the two groups were similar in all characteristics apart from repeated sprint ability where the control group was able to …

A Study of the Effects of Irradiation and Radiolytic Oxidation of the Pore-Level Structure of Gilsocarbon Nuclear Graphite
… incorporating a combination of experimental and modelling techniques. Gilsocarbon graphite, which is incorporated in the current UK Advanced gas cooled reactors, is particularly difficult to characterise at a pore level due to its highly complex pore matrix which comprises voidage over several …

The psychophysiological regulation of pacing behaviour and performance during prolonged endurance exercise
… of performance. A five-step structural equation modelling procedure was applied to assess the extent to which the observed data fit the hypothesised cause–effect relationships under the constraint of psychological duress: valence deterioration was found to mediate the relationship between …

A New Travel Demand Model for Outdoor Recreation Trips
… and travel mode choices. In travel demand modelling, discrete choice models (DCMs) have been applied to understand and predict a wide range of choices, such as how people choose among alternative destinations for jobs, homes, shopping, personal services etc. Surprisingly, DCMs have rarely …

Time-lapse Acoustic Imaging of Oceanic Fronts and Eddies
… \textit{O}(0.1)~m~s$^{-1}$. An iterative inverse modelling procedure is used to convert reflectivity into temperature and salinity, which confirms that the eddies have anomalously warm centres (i.e. $\sim$1$^{\circ}$C). These results have significant implications for ice shelf melting. Secondly, …
