The Area Sampling Machine
… the path of the ray having zero cross sectional area. Recent photorealistic image synthesis work has generally ignored the results from earlier visibility determination research. In the first part of this thesis we introduce the Area Sampling Buffer, an algorithm that allows the use of z-buffer …

Green optical network design : power optimization of wide area and metropolitan area networks
… has focused on cost minimization of wide area and metropolitan area networks. In this thesis, we concentrate instead on finding scalable WAN designs with respect to power constraints and optimal MAN topologies with minimal capital and operating expenditures. We find optical bypass networks …

A Centralized Wide Area Control of FACTS for Damping Power System Inter-Area Oscillations
… (FACTS) control for damping power system inter-area oscillations is a topic of much interest. However, local decentralized FACTS controllers are either too complicated to be realizable or do not offer satisfactory performance under various system operating conditions. This research develops a …

Youth employment in the Cape Town area: Insights from the Cape Area Panel Study
… employment among the youth in the Cape Town area. Using data from the 2002 and 2004 waves of the Cape Area Panel Study, cross-sectional and panel probit regressions have been employed to investigate the role of individual, household and schooling characteristics in the probability of …

Collaborative wireless local area network
In traditional infrastructural wireless local area network (WLAN), the mobile node (MN) makes the decision of choosing an access point (AP). The MN creates a list of APs in range along with the received signal strength indicator (RSSI). It then solely uses the RSSI as a decision metric for …

AREA-INTENSITY RELATIONSHIPS AND BRIGHTNESS
… the size of a test stimulus is termed spatial (areal) summation. The aim of the present research is to quantify spatial summation effects for a large range of stimulus sizes at two suprathreshold luminance levels and two stimulus presentation methods (binocular and haploscopic). Two experiments …

On Wireless Local Area Networks
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) have been widely developed during this decade, due to their mobility and exibility. During this period, IEEE 802.11 has become the dominant WLAN protocol. This thesis reports on research into WLANs, especially IEEE 802.11 networks. Since IEEE 802.11 denes rules …

Area-contracting maps between rectangles
In this thesis, I worked on estimating the smallest k-dilation of all diffeomorphisms between two n-dimensional rectangles R and S. I proved that for many rectangles there are highly non-linear diffeomorphisms with much smaller k-dilation than any linear diffeomorphism. When k is equal to n-l, I …

Homotopically nontrivial area contracting maps
In this thesis, we investigate the existence of area contracting maps in a given ho-motopy class. In particular, we give various generalizations of Guth’s h-principle for k-dilation of maps between spheres to other manifolds. This includes all maps from highly connected domains and maps to highly …

Geology of the Damascus area
… Ordovician, inclusive, crop out in the Damascus area. Approximately 13,000 feet of beds are exposed, comprising 14 formations. The stratigraphic succession is rather complete and is broken by a single recognizable hiatus which represents most of late Early Ordovician time. Clastic rocks of …

Comparison of Informal Indigenous Metalwork Enterprises in an Industrial Area and an Estate Area in Kenya
Although there were differences in some aspects among the two groups of businesses, both groups appeared to have potential for growth and job creation. However, the Industrial Group businesses appeared to have greater potential for growth and job creation.

Local area network (LAN) compatibility issues.
This thesis presents a research study of local area network compatibility issues. Today's high performance and successful LANs must use hardware and software that is compatible with the network technology used. Compatibility, for the purposes of this research paper, means the ability to interface …
