Essays On Robust Estimators For Non-Identically Distributed Observations In Spatial Econometric And Time Series Models
… moving average process for the disturbance term (SARMA). We extend the best GMM estimator (BGMME) of Liu et al. (2010) to the SARMA models and provide the best set of instruments for the SARMA(1,1) and the SARMA(0,1) specifications. The large sample properties are rigorously studied and presented …

Giving a voice to diverse men's experiences of infertility
… unprotected sexual intercourse (Dooley, Nolan, & Sarma, 2011; Kelly-Weeder, 2012; World Health Organization [WHO], 2016). It is estimated that 8-12% of all heterosexual couples, or 80 million people worldwide, are infertile (Leon, 2010; WHO, 2002). Research on infertility has given preference to …

Myth or magic: the impact of financial technology on financial inclusion in Africa
… for financial inclusion variables from Sarma (2008). Upon computing the indices, we then endeavour to study the relationship between financial technology (fintech) and financial inclusion by running a regression analysis between fintech variables and the financial inclusion indices. As …

Tribological evaluation of unlubricated and marginally lubricated bearing materials
This thesis presents friction and wear rate measurements of the copper based bearing materials used in thrust bearing of aircraft fuel pumps. Highly detailed friction and wear data was collected from 20% and 30% lead in bronze (leaded bronze) substrates and 10% indium in lead (lead/indium) coated …

Fluid Mechanics of High Speed Deformable Roll coating. An experimental and theoretical study of film thickness and stability in high speed deformable roll coating flow with Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquids
High operation speeds and thin coating films are desirable in many industrial applications. But the quality of the product, which is primarily determined by an optimum process window, is affected by non-uniformities and instabilities originating at higher operation speeds. Unlike other academic …

Microfluidic platforms for Transcriptomics and Epigenomics
A cell, the building block of all life, stores a plethora of information in its genome, epigenome, and transcriptome which needs to be analyzed via various Omic studies. The heterogeneity in a seemingly similar group of cells is an important factor to consider and it could lead us to better …
