Seabirds as monitors of marine plastic pollution
… at sea, providing support for their use as biomonitors of marine plastic pollution. In Chapter 4, I assess how plastic loads in four petrels have changed from 1987 to 2018 in roughly decadal time periods and years. More than 3 700 regurgitated Brown Skua pellets, each containing the remains of …

Ormolu : generating runtime monitors from alloy models
This thesis presents Ormolu, a runtime monitor used for monitoring distributed systems. Given an Alloy model, Ormolu generates a database schema and translates the constraints of the model to queries over the database. The translation preserves the semantics of Alloy, especially in regards to its …

TAME Health: Testing Activity Monitors’ Effect on Health
… pedometer. Comparatively, the two tested monitors improved CVD related outcomes. The EAM produced small-to-moderate effect sizes on PA, waist-to-hip ratio, and physical function. In addition, the EAM group had a significantly greater impact on SDT constructs compared to the pedometer. …

Expatriate selection : are high self-monitors better expatriates?
Conducting business on an international scale has been the reality for large corporations for many years. To penetrate these new markets abroad, many firms have decided to use expatriates. It has been well documented in the literature that expatriate assignments are subject to very high failure …

A quantitative methodology for evaluating and deploying security monitors
… and forensic analysis techniques depend on monitors to collect information about possible attacks. Since monitoring can be expensive, however, monitors must be selectively deployed to maximize their overall utility. We identify a need for a methodology for evaluating monitor deployment to …

Second Grade Students' Cognitive Understanding Of Heart Rate Monitors And Pedometers
… classes, teachers are using are heart rate monitors and pedometers to assess the students' levels of physical activity (Blair et al., 2007). However, it is uncertain if elementary students better understand the results from the pedometer, or the heart rate monitor. A study of eight-second …

Bivalve molluscs as environmental monitors and tools for sustainable water management
Freshwater environments are capable of providing a wide range of vital ecosystem services, from basic provision of drinking water to energy production, waste removal to recreation. Well-managed water resources allow such precious services to be preserved. However, anthropogenic influences have led …

Selected molluscs as monitors of metal pollution in coastal marine environments
The potential of bivalve molluscs as monitors of metal pollution in South African coastal marine environments has been investigated using the species Crassostrea gigas, Crassostrea margaritacea, Perna perna and Choromytilus meridionalis. Metal concentrations in these and other species living along …

Embedded monitors for detecting and preventing intrusions in cryptographic and application protocols.
There are two main approaches for intrusion detection: signature-based and anomaly-based. Signature-based detection employs pattern matching to match attack signatures with observed data making it ideal for detecting known attacks. However, it cannot detect unknown attacks for which there is no …

Development of environmental water monitors based on hydrostatic and flourescence detection techniques
The research for this thesis led to the development of two environmental detectors, whose function was to identify predetermined threshold levels of the analyte. The research centred onto two types of analyte; immiscible and dissolved, both occurring in water based locations.The first detector was …

Monitoring of training and racing of long distance runners using heart rate monitors
… in their diaries. The subjects wore heart rate monitors during training and racing. There was no convincing evidence that competitive runners who train at higher intensities have a better running performance. A poor relationship was found between %VO₂max and %HRmax. Finally, heart rate during …
