Modeling Unburned Hydrocarbon Formation Processes in Internal Combustion Engines
As a result of continuing air pollution problems, very stringent regulations are being enforced to control unburned hydrocarbons (HC) emissions. Most important unburned HC emissions sources are (1) HC vapor absorption and/or desorption into cylinder wall oil film; (2) flow of unburned mixture into …

Multivariate statistical modelling of family formation processes among women in Namibia
Family formation is a significant event in life-course of individuals. Many studies have revealed shifts in demographic processes including child-bearing patterns, age at sexual debut and first marriage, and marital status over the years. While there have been numerous studies in demographic …

Trace element proxies and mineral indicators of hydrothermal fluid composition and seafloor massive sulfide deposit formation processes
This thesis analyzes compositions of seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) deposits and related hydrothermal vent fluids to identify proxies of reaction zone conditions (host-rock lithology, hydrothermal fluid temperature and chemistry). Chapter 2 investigates the morphology, mineralogy, and geochemistry …

The process of strategy formation in high-growth SMEs
This dissertation explores the topic of strategy formation in high-growth SMEs. High-growth SMEs represent the growth and job creation engine of an economy; however, little has been understood on how strategy forms and develops in high-growth SMEs. The focus on large organisations has led to a …
