A Temporal Model of Mindful Interactions Around New Service Conception
… - served as the units of analysis. The model that emerged from the data - a "Temporal Model of Mindful Interactions Around New Service Conception" - depicts library administrators as active producers of new service concepts. More specifically, the model posits that the innovative library …

Assessing the Seismic Hazard in Charleston, South Carolina: Comparisons Among Statistical Models
… assumed a Poisson process to describe the temporal behavior of earthquakes and have employed the Gutenberg-Richter relationship to define the frequency distribution of earthquake magnitude. For sites in areas where geological information indicates recurrent, large earthquakes, however, such …

Advancing PSS with complex urban systems sciences and scalable spatio-temporal models
… System (PSS) with a core of dynamic spatio-temporal model has been developed as analytical and information tools to aid and inform urban planning processes. However, scholarly communities identify that PSS has yet been popularized in planning practices, and not fully capable of meeting the …

Change Point Detection in Time Series via Multivariate Singular Spectrum Analysis
… sequential hypothesis testing. In particular, we model the underlying dynamics of multivariate time series observations through the spatio-temporal model introduced recently in the mSSA literature. The change points in such a setting correspond to a change in the underlying spatio-temporal model. …

Dynamic Bayesian models for modelling environmental space-time fields
This thesis addresses spatial interpolation and temporal prediction using air pollution data by several space-time modelling approaches. Firstly, we implement the dynamic linear modelling (DLM) approach in spatial interpolation and find various potential problems with that approach. We develop …

Model Free Human Pose Estimation with Application to the Classification of Abnormal Human Movement and the Detection of Hidden Loads
… without the use of an explicit spatial or temporal model. The visual detection of hidden loads through passive visual analysis of gait is presented as a test of the system. The major contributions of this thesis are in two areas. The first is a neural network based scheme that classifies …

The Allocation of Federal Aid: The Distribution of Federal Mass Transportation Assistance From 1965--1986
… aid distributions are invariant over time. A temporal model of federal aid allocations is developed which stresses dynamics and three problems which program managers commonly face: identifying a core clientele and devising ways to assist them, expanding the core and meeting its changing needs, …

A preconditioned Newton-Krylov method for computing steady-state pulse solutions of mode-locked lasers
… demonstrated experimentally on a one-dimensional temporal model of an eight femtosecond mode-locked laser operating in the dispersion-managed soliton regime. Our solver is applicable to finding the steady-state solution of any nonlinear optical cavity with moderate self phase modulation, such as …

Spatio-temporal modelling of breast cancer incidence between 2000 and 2021 at sub-national levels in Iran: Bayesian disease mapping
… Iran from 2000 to 2010 using a Bayesian spatio-temporal model. Then, I’ve propagated uncertainty from the spatio-temporal model into the prediction model for the years from 2011 to 2021. The national relative risk of breast cancer incidence in Iran increased from 0.21 (95% credible interval …

Design and implementation of a synchronization scheduler in a distributed multimedia presentation system
… have to be carried out in accordance with some temporal specification, i.e. temporal synchronization. In this thesis, we design and implement a synchronization scheduler in a distributed multimedia presentation system. First, we develop an interval constraint graph model to describe the temporal …

Temporal registration for MRI time series
… nature of deformations to take advantage of the temporal smoothness in the image data. Forward message passing in the corresponding hidden Markov model (HMM) yields an estimation algorithm that only has to account for relatively small motion between consecutive frames. We demonstrate the utility …

Mathematical Modelling of the Immune Response to Cancer
… logical explanation underpins the mathematical modelling in this PhD thesis where mathematical models of pre-angiogenic immune-tumour interactions are presented and analysed. Chapter two develops an individual-based model of immune-cancer cell interactions using the computational simulation …

Statistical shape analysis of neuroanatomical structures based on spherical wavelet transformation
… shape representation, we build multi-scale shape models and study the localized cortical folding variations in a normal population using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). We then build a shape-based classification framework for detecting pathological changes of cortical surfaces using advanced …

Temporal logic-based fuzzy decision support system for diagnosis of rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease
… Hybrid Approach (Knowledge-based System (KBS), Temporal Theory (TT) and Fuzzy Logic (FL)) to design and develop an application to diagnose ARF cases at an early stage in English and Nepali. This research presents, validates and evaluates a proposed Hybrid Approach to diagnose ARF at three …

Computational Bayesian inference using low discrepancy sequences
… Bayesian inference for complex hierarchical models. For INLA, and other deterministic methods, the hyperparameter space is explored and points are laid out in a grid structure. These points are used in some numerical integration scheme for which marginal posterior distributions are computed. …

Listening for echoes: Afterwardsness as a model for artistic practice

Models and methods for computationally efficient analysis of large spatial and spatio-temporal data
… devoted to computationally efficient methods and models for large spatial and spatio-temporal data. Several approximation methods to "the big n problem" are reviewed, and an extended autoregressive model, called the EAR model, is proposed as a parsimonious model that accounts for smoothness of a …

Activity engagement with people with dementia at home: family carers' perspectives
… Themes were identified which formed a temporal model consisting of five activity patterns. These were the usual, recognisable, illogical, irresponsible and dispossessed patterns. The model illustrated the complexity and long-term nature of family carers activity-related decisions. Over …
