First-principle based pharmacokinetic modeling
… vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) and physiological based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) models are two major PK prediction strategies. However, both IVIVE and PBPK models are considered as immature methodologies due to their poor predictability. The goal of the research is to investigate the discrepancies …

Adaptive internal model principle-based control for tremor suppression and sinusoidal signal tracking
… dissertation presents an adaptive Internal Model Principle-based controller with a primary focus on tremor suppression and sinusoidal signal tracking. The proposed designs include fixed-parameter and adaptive control strategies based on proportional, Two-Degree-of-Freedom, and pole-placement …

A principle based system architecture framework applied for defining, modeling & designing next generation smart grid systems
… the high complexity of the electricity grid, a principle based System Architecture framework is presented as a tool for analyzing, defining, and outlining potential pathways for infrastructure transformation. Through applying this framework to the Smart Grid, beneficiaries and stakeholders are …

The effect of self-explanation and metacognitive scaffolding on learning web programming
… conducted to demonstrate the positive effects of principle-based self-explanation on acquiring programming concepts and improving debugging skills in web-based learning environments. The first study, involving 68 college students, investigated effects of self-explanation and metacognitive …

The Relationship Between Corporate Governance Practices and Financial Performance in New Zealand: An Empirical Investigation
… Zealand Securities Commission (NZSC) adopted a principle-based corporate governance approach which was intended to contribute to high standards of corporate governance in New Zealand entities. The principles/guidelines are broad statement generally applied to the governance of entities that have …

Robustness of adaptive control systems to unmodeled dynamics : a describing function viewpoint
… minimal restrictions. However, extensive first-principle based arguments and/or analysis of the parameter trajectory is employed. An alternative to such analysis, albeit approximate, is to use the well-known Describing Function (DF) method. In doing so, the analysis of the robust adaptive …

Modelos mistos de elementos finitos para análise de grandes deformações
… from a Reissner-type incremental variational principle based on an incremental potential energy principle. A total Lagrangian formulation is used to analyse axisymmetric solids, plane stress and plane strain problems. Two types of solution are available: a purely incremental solution and an …

Divisive Rights and Structural Wrongs: A Comparison in Polycentric Constitutionalism
… the research reinstates federalism’s original principle of nemo judex in causa sua—no person ought to judge their own cause. This is to offer a theoretical account, revisiting James Madison’s theory on factions, impartiality, and the design of integrative polycentric/federal constitutions. In …

The future of lease accounting and its impact on corporate real estate decisions
… Board (IASB) plan to establish a unified set of principle-based accounting systems into a unified set of principle-based standards in an effort to improve financial transparency and comparability across world markets. One component of this plan, centered on reform of current lease accounting …

The perceived impact of financial condition reporting on the structute of the shortterm insurance indusrty in South Africa
… regulatory environment, that the benefits of a principle based, internationally harmonised and risk sensitive approach to capital requirements, outweigh the efforts of implementing such a system.

Variationally consistent methods for Lagrangian dynamics in continuum mechanics
… scheme is developed from a variational principle based on Hamilton's principle of stationary action. Such methods ensure conservation of linear and angular momentum, which lead to more physically consistent simulations.

A place where all things are spoken : making the Vernon BC Stake Relief Society a place for her voice
… research (SAR) methodology—paired with the principles of appreciative inquiry—members of the Vernon BC Stake Relief Society engaged in a series of online, anonymous, and asynchronous discussions. Data collected from three distinct/disjoined collaborative circles and a World Café-like event …

Modeling of Hysteretic Behavior of Beam -Column Connections Based on Self -Learning Simulation
In this research, a new neural network (NN) based cyclic material model is applied to inelastic hysteretic behavior of connections. In the proposed model, two energy-based internal variables are introduced to expedite the learning of hysteretic behavior of materials or structural components. The …

Givenness, focus, and prosody
… constraint, the Givenness Interpretation Principle based on Rooth's (1992) Focus Interpretation Principle, that accounts, in part, for the semantic effects of givenness and focus. I also propose a phonological constraint, *GIVEN, that accounts for the prosodic effects of givenness and …

Casuistry: Towards a More Complete Approach
… two main approaches to medical ethics: a principle-based approach (principlism) and a case-based approach (casuistry). In this dissertation I argue that casuistry is the more perspicuous of the two approaches. The first portion of my dissertation analyzes the current state of casuistry and …

Principles, opportunism and seeing in design : a computational approach
… to evaluate a design. The thesis argues for a principle based rather than rule based approach to designing design systems, and highlights the manifest nature of design documents. The Discursive Generator is presented as a computational framework for implementing specific design systems, and a …

Developing a recovery ethos for psychiatric services in New Zealand
… dominant in psychiatric services in New Zealand, based on eclectic ways of facilitating recovery. Recovery from mental illness, is based on the criteria of symptom reduction and functioning and can be further refined to have a client and professional perspective. Rather than using an eclectic …

Coinductive program verification
We present a program-verification approach based on coinduction, which makes it feasible to verify programs given an operational semantics of a programming language, without constructing intermediates like axiomatic semantics or verification-condition generators. Specifications can be written using …
