A Novel Approach To Residence Time Distribution
An increased knowledge in the solids flow in multiphase flow systems can be applied in the design of industrial systems used for power generation, gasification, pneumatic transport of material, drying, and various other tasks. An instrument was constructed for the activation, injection, and …

A Novel Approach to Residual Stress Measurement
… This thesis provides an authentication of a novel strain measurement and residual stress calculation method. This method is heavily rooted in the fields of optical strain measurement and elementary solid mechanics. The types of measurements discussed involve using two specialty optical strain …

A Novel Approach to White-Box Policy Analysis
The access control systems in dynamic environments contain composite access control policies, that combine decisions from multiple component policies using policy combining algorithms. In such dynamic environments, analysis of policies is a challenge. In this thesis, I propose a white-box policy …

Novel approach to laser-driven multi-stage ion acceleration
All-optical approaches to particle acceleration are currently attracting a significant research effort internationally. Key to the interest in a laser based particle accelerator lies in its cost effective and compactness. However, the ion beams accelerated by the laser-driven mechanisms have …

A novel approach for large-scale flood risk assessments
… where large-scale patterns are important this approach is of limited use. Assuming a T-year flood (e.g. 100 years) for the entire river network is unrealistic and would lead to an overestimation of flood risk at the large scale. Due to the lack of damage data, additionally, the probability of …

Second Harmonic Generation – A Novel Approach in Retinal Imaging
<p>Here we present the utilization of Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) for label-free imaging of microtubules (MTs) in the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL). MTs are an important part of axonal cytoskeleton, providing structural support and serving as a railroad in intracellular transport. We …

A novel approach to IP traffic splitting using flowlets
TCP's burstiness is usually regarded as harmful, or at best, inconvenient. Instead, this thesis suggests a new perspective and examines whether TCP's burstiness is useful for certain applications. It claims that burstiness can be harnessed to insulate traffic from packet reordering caused by route …

Novel Approach to Assess Periodontal Disease Severity Using Volumetric Analysis
<p>The purpose of this study was to evaluate if the absolute change in linear measurements of bone loss on the facial plane of a maxillary central incisor at full and half root length along the vertical axis is directly proportional to volumetric change. The secondary aim was to evaluate if the …

Generating quality software specifications for decision support : a novel approach
An approach utilizing cognitive support tools is presented with the purpose of improving upon the generation of quality software requirement specifications. Based on successful tools in product development and cognitive engineering, the framework suggests how to improve upon user comprehension by …

A novel approach to multiple reference frequency domain adaptive control
Adaptive feedforward control of any physical system, acoustical, vibrational or other, requires what is termed as an uncontrollable coherent reference signal. That is, a signal which is highly representative (coherent) of the disturbance to be controlled which is not affected by the control …

A Novel Approach to Modeling Contextual Privacy Preference and Practice
… design frameworks. In this work, we present a novel approach for the modeling of contextual privacy preference and practice. The process guides a 'privacy analyst' through the steps of evaluating, choosing, and deploying appropriate data collection strategies; the verification and validation of …

Heating it up: a novel approach to annealing soluble organic semiconductors
The aim of this projhect is to study the electronic properties of organic (carbon-based) semiconductor materials and to study electronic devices, such as FETs, made using these materials. Organic semiconductors offer a number of advantages including ease and low-cost of device fabrication and …

Novel Approach for Non-Invasive Prediction of Body Shape and Habitus
<p>While marker-based motion capture remains the gold standard in measuring human movement, accuracy is influenced by soft-tissue artifacts, particularly for subjects with high body mass index (BMI) where markers are not placed close to the underlying bone. Obesity influences joint loads and motion …

Circular dry cement inclusions: a novel approach to stabilising clay soil
… a general change in the countries attitude and approach towards future construction. This project undertook an initiative approach to soil stabilisation, with a key aim of establishing whether or not a deliberate inclusion of dry Portland cement would induce consolidation in a clay soil, by …
