The Information Content of Discretionary Disaggregation
… statement line items. I find that the level of disaggregation predicts both current and future performance. I also find that significant changes in discretionary disaggregation are indicative of weak fundamentals. In particular, I document a hump-shaped pattern such that both increases and …

Disaggregation of soil during slurry pipe jacking
… this dissertation assesses the magnitude of soil disaggregation during the excavation and pumping of the arisings within the slurry to the separation plant. The two main objectives were to create a mixing test that would allow the disaggregation of the soil to be predicted prior to specification …

Unsupervised disaggregation of low frequency power measurements
… the effectiveness of several unsupervised disaggregation methods on low frequency power measurements collected in real homes. Specifically, we consider variants of the factorial hidden Markov model. Our results indicate that a conditional factorial hidden semi-Markov model, which integrates …

Heterogeneity in regional economic models: disaggregation and integration
… The results reveal that the total effects of disaggregation that can be ascribed to population aging vary by a much smaller extent than those generated by model specification and data. The disaggregate REIM with heterogeneous households by age yields smaller RMSEs than the aggregate REIM with …

The Disaggregation of Indonesian Poverty: Policy and Analysis
Focussing on the rural economy remains the first priority of any poverty alleviation strategies.

The Hidden Advantage of Disaggregation in Substantive Analytical Procedures
Recent Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) inspections on substantive analytical procedures have found that auditors often over-rely on management explanations for significant fluctuations by failing to gather and evaluate corroborating evidence. This research attempts to find a …

Resolution Tricks and Disaggregation Tools for Smart Power Metering
… load monitor (NILM) aims to solve the energy disaggregation problem by incorporating power system analysis, signal processing, and machine learning. This thesis addresses two problems present in state-of-the-art nonintrusive load monitoring research. First, the ability of existing nonintrusive …

Electrical Load Disaggregation and Demand Response in Commercial Buildings
… DR have been presented. The first is a load disaggregation technique to disaggregate the power of individual HVACs using machine learning classification techniques, where a single power meter is used to collect aggregated HVAC power data of a building. This method is then tested over a number …

Programming Abstractions for Scalable and High-Performance Memory Disaggregation
… address the aforementioned inefficiency, memory disaggregation has emerged as a promising solution. Memory disaggregation physically separates compute from memory, allowing each resource to be separately provisioned to enable independent resource scaling. Applications run at the compute nodes …

Micro-component disaggregation of domestic water demands using machine learning
… learning algorithms and input features for disaggregation processes have been investigated, evaluated, and discussed in this research. The water end-use disaggregation requires high-resolution water consumption data (typically at intervals of less than a minute) to enable the extraction of …

Investigating the protein disaggregation machinery in the early secretory pathway
… and precise interactors comprising the intrinsic disaggregation system within the ER. This aim was achieved through a series of proteomics investigations involving the isolation of surrogate metastable proteins and its interaction partners under disaggregation conditions. Additionally, a parallel …

Energy disaggregation techniques for visualization and improvement of energy efficiency in processes and buildings
… ranked by the accuracy of the resulting energy disaggregation, rather than by the quality of the information received by users and the improvement of their energy awareness. Bearing this in mind, the present PhD thesis has two main goals: 1) exploring the NILM problem in large non-residential …

Spatial and temporal disaggregation of whole system energy models through exemplar local multi-carrier networks
Different futures of domestic energy use - in particular, considering options in heat provision - are simulated and analysed within characteristic UK local energy systems (urban, suburban, rural) in order to determine the Delivered Cost of Energy, Emissions Intensity, and Abatement Cost for …

Semi-Supervised Deep Learning Frameworks for Transmission-Scale Load Disaggregation and Behind-the-meter Solar Prediction
… presents novel transmission-scale load disaggregation and BTM solar prediction frameworks, addressing lack of visibility for and enhancing situational awareness for transmission operators. Unlike distribution-level BTM solar generation which has ground-truth data, transmission-level BTM …

The Incipient denationalization of political membership and the disaggregation of the Canadian state’s monopoly on mobility
This thesis conceptualizes and documents transformations underlying the contemporary condition of Canadian political membership. Through an examination of recent changes in Canadian immigration policy underwritten by the neoliberal reconfiguration of the state, the imperatives of ‘skills discourse’ …

Mandatory Earnings Disaggregation and the Value Relevance, Persistence and Pricing of Earnings Components: South African Evidence
Thus far, the disaggregation of non-recurring items from earnings has been investigated mostly in the United States, in the context of special items and pro forma earnings. The disclosure of these items is mainly on a voluntary basis. Managers of firms have significant discretion in the calculation …

Nonintrusive load disaggregation computer program to estimate the energy consumption of major end-uses in residential buildings
… computer program for the nonintrusive load disaggregation of total-household electric load into its end-uses. The computer program estimates the energy consumption of individual electric appliances in a house based on the analysis of the current measured at the house-power source interface …

Disaggregation of residential home energy via non-intrusive load monitoring for energy savings and targeted demand response
Residential energy disaggregation is a process by which the power usage of a home is broken down into the consumption of individual appliances. There are a number of different methods to perform energy disaggregation, from simulation models to installing "smart-plugs" at every outlet where an …
