Analyses and predictions of ultrasound interactions with model biomembrane systems via two-state transition model
… ultrasound interactions near to the lipid phase transition temperature. The enhanced ultrasound absorption spectra closely resemble single relaxation spectra, suggesting that the membrane constituents undergo a simple two-state transition. The temperature dependence of the relaxation frequency is …

A New State Transition Model for Forecasting-Aided State Estimation for the Grid of the Future
… wind power, the randomness in power system state will increase to unprecedented levels. This dissertation proposes a new state transition model for power system forecasting-aided state estimation, which aims at capturing the increasing stochastic nature in the states of the grid of the …

Expert system usability: modeling and analysis of human- advisor interaction
… This type of interface is known as an advisor. A state transition model is used to represent human-advisor interaction. The model provides a mechanism by which to collect objective human performance data. In addition, it is used to specify human-advisor interaction metrics. To test the state …

Reliably arranging objects : a conformant planning approach to robot manipulation
… formalizes conformant planning as a belief-state planning problem. A belief state is the set of all possible states of the world, and the objective is to find a sequence of actions that will bring an initial belief state to a goal belief state. To do forward belief-state planning, we created …

Enabling health, independence and wellbeing for patients with bipolar disorder through Personalised Ambient Monitoring
This thesis describes the role of mathematical modelling in the evaluation of an innovative automated system of wearable and environmental sensors to monitor the activity patterns of patients with Bipolar Disorder (BD). BD is a chronic and recurrent mental disorder associated with severe episodes …

Distributed analysis of Markov chains
… concurrent systems. The systems in question are state transition systems from which Markov chains can be derived. Both phases of the analysis pipeline are considered: state space generation from a state transition model to form the Markov chain and finding performance information by solving the …

CAWIML: a computer assisted web interviewing mark-up language.
… popular CAWI solutions. The popular hierarchical model, employed to manage the questionnaire flow, is not semantically intuitive to domain experts and lacks exibility to allow for questionnaire design refinements. An analysis of system architectures suggests that the commonly adopted multi-page …

Grain-Boundary Kinetics And Nonequilibrium Grain-Boundary Structure
… these are realized based on a mechanistic model. The mechanistic model describes a GB as intrinsic GB structure decorated by extrinsic defects. GB kinetics is described by the transition among all the stable/metastable intrinsic GB structures and the kinetics of GB defects. A major type of …

Articulated pose estimation via over-parametrization and noise projection
… because they are mechanically 'connected. When modeling or perceiving the motion of such an articulated system, it is beneficial to make use of these constraints to reduce uncertainty. In this thesis, we examine two aspects of perception related to articulated structures. First, we examine the …

Systems Biology Study of Breast Cancer Endocrine Response and Resistance
… with a systemic and dynamical view. Mathematical modeling as a tool in systems biology provides a unique opportunity to understand the underlying mechanisms of endocrine response and resistance in breast cancer. In Chapter 2, I focused on the experimental observations that breast cancer cells can …

Real-time Traffic State Prediction: Modeling and Applications
… the spatiotemporal evolution of roadway traffic state and travel time. From the perspective of travelers, such information can result in better traveler route choice and departure time decisions. From the transportation agency perspective, such data provide enhanced information with which to …

MODELLING THE GROWTH OF THE LOGGED OVER INLAND PRODUCTION FORESTS OF PENINSULAR MALAYSIA WITH FOREST MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATION
The study objectives are (1) to develop growth models for inland tropical rain forests and (2) to propose changes to the current management systems and cutting regime options. In the Malaysia context inland forests encompass lowland, coastal hill, hill and upper hill forests, 'flic current …
