Co-creating a culturally relevant programme for enabling participation of children with brain injury in Uganda (CEBU)
… satisfies basic needs, co-created as the Four-star Model for Enablement and Participation. To implement the Four-star Model, this thesis proposed Occupation Actualization (OA) philosophy which requires children with brain injury to be involved in daily life activities formed by occupation scale …

Three Essays on Forecasting in Nonlinear Models
Nonlinear models have many applications in the economic and financial fields. The following works focus on their use for forecasting. Neural networks, in conjunction with an Affine Term Structure Model, are used to discover possible yield curve arbitrage opportunities. A G/ARCH model is employed to …

Superdense objects in general relativity : modeling neutron stars with free quark cores
… the results of a numerical study of neutron stars made of a color-flavor locked (CFL) quark matter center and a nuclear fluid exterior. CFL quark matter is a theoretical state of matter which may exist at the center of highly dense neutron stars. To verify its existence, we need to make …

The effectiveness of monetary policy in a regime-switching environment
… adequately represented by a linear time-series model. This thesis demonstrates that the business cycle is inherently nonlinear and that this nonlinearity can be captured by regime-switching models and, in particular, by STAR models. STAR models applied to the logarithm of the U.S. real GNP have, …

Portable and productive high-performance computing
… Can programmers write parallel code to simple models that hide the complex details of parallel programming? This thesis addresses these questions for certain "classes" of computer programs. It describes "autotuning" techniques that achieve performance portability for serial divide-and-conquer …

Differential polarization of Hβ in γ CAS
… across the Hβ emission line of the Be star γ Cas is presented. The differential polarization and polarization angle vary both in profile and depth. It was found that the polarization profile fits the relation PL, = (Iunderlying / Itotal)Pc, instead of the generally accepted PL = PC / …

Investigating the Low-Mass Stellar Initial Mass Function in Draco
… galactocentric radii and measure the IMF by modeling the resolved lower main sequence. We model the optical color-magnitude diagrams of each feld assuming two different IMF models (power-law, log-normal), five different stellar evolution libraries (Padova, BaSTI, Dartmouth, Victoria, PARSEC), …

Heartbeat Stars and the Ringing of Tidal Pulsations
… and objects has been revealed: heartbeat stars are prime example of this. Heartbeat stars are eccentric ellipsoidal variables that undergo strong tidal interactions at periastron, when the stars are close to each other. These interactions induce the deformation of the stars, which causes a …
