Quantitative functional brain imaging with Positron Emission Tomography and irreversible tracers
This thesis presents SAIF, (Spectral Analysis with Iterative Filter),<br/>a SA-based method for the quantification of PET data investigated with<br/>irreversible-uptake tracers. SAIF has been designed in order to maintain<br/>the main advantages of SA but providing a superior robustness to …

Development of an integrated framework for satisfaction assessment of construction project teams
… Satisfaction Assessment Integrated Framework (SAIF) involves an integrated approach that considers the participants of a construction project as a tree structure, and each member of that tree as an intermediate or top element. Relationships and interactions of the elements, and how these affect …

Measurement of neutron production from an ¹⁸O target for the production of radioactive-ion beams at iThemba LABS
… LABS, in the South African Isotope Facility (SAIF) project, proposes to produce radioactive ion beams by the fission of uranium. A natural way to fission uranium is to use high-intensity proton beams from a cyclotron. However, neutron-induced fission gives enhanced production of neutron-rich …

Analysis, Design, and Experimentation of Beam-Like Structures
… Structural Analysis of Inflatables using FEA (SAIF) was compared with the experiments and available literature. It is concluded that the validity of the developed tool depends on the flexibility of the beam, which further depends upon the length of the beam and the bending rigidity of the beam. …

Investigating the regulation of the PCTAIRE-1 protein kinase : a new target of AMP-activated protein kinase and beyond?
PCTK1 is a Cdc2-related protein kinase that is poorly characterised. Several studies have investigated its role and regulation, and have provided some insight into its upstream regulation by PKA/CDK5 phosphorylation. Proposed physiological functions include vesicle trafficking and neurite …

Spectrum sharing for multi-user massive MIMO networks
In this dissertation, we propose a creative approach to advance 5G network technologies by investigating the impact of employing an underlay spectrum sharing (USS) scheme on the performance of two massive multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) networks. We explore an USS approach where a multi-user …

Human-computer interaction: lessons from theory and practice
This thesis explores the gap between theory and practice within the context of human-computer interaction (HCI), specifically relating to effective implementation of HCI methods and frameworks within practice. The thesis is structured as follows: three connected but stand-alone papers are presented …

Experimental and analytical investigation of localization and post-peak behavior of steel members in tension
Accurate simulation of extreme limit states in structures subjected to abnormal loads, earthquake, or blast requires detailed understanding of their post-peak behavior. In steel structures, these extreme-limit states are associated with local or global instability such as local buckling, tension …

The role of inter-organisational knowledge management in the UEA's public policing sector
Inter-organisational knowledge sharing between airport security organisations has become increasingly vital to maintain the highest standards of security and public safety. Social networks are considered a significant space for knowledge sharing within and across organisations. The purpose of this …

Experimental and Computational Methods for Shortwave Infrared Imaging
Optical imaging methods help researchers interrogate complex biological and medical processes with the use of optical light, usually in the visible region (400-700 nm). We explore visualizing the state of liver diseases in living mice using non-invasive near infrared (NIR, 700-900 nm) and shortwave …

Generating UML class diagram from source codes using multi-threading technique
The traditional Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) often includes four phases: analysis, design, implementation, and testing. Reverse engineering is the process of moving back those phases by analyzing the software system and then representing it at the higher levels of abstractions. The …

Effects of Neck Muscle Fatigue on the Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex
In order to maintain balance, the brain receives and processes input from multiple sensory systems including the visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems. The information from these systems is sent to the brain where the information is then combined, organized and interpreted. This results in …
