Audio-visual frameworks for design process representation
The design process is based on a recursive and iterative feedback between a designer's ideas and their physical representation. In most practices, this feedback takes place upon one single medium, which endows the designer with one single view on his ideas. However, having several views can …

The physics of the value chain towards a dynamic theory of strategy
… of the supply/demand chain and assembly process representation to propose a fundamental construct for manifold decomposition of the value chain. Our proposed heuristic simplifies the dynamic complexity of the value chain.

Gaussian loop- and Pólya processes : a point process approach
… on the one hand the construction of point processes via conditional intensities, motivated by the partial Integration of the Campbell measure of a point process. Under certain assumptions on the intensity the existence of such a point process is shown. A fundamental example turns out to be …

Query into Queer: A Creative and Analytical Examination of LGBTQ+ Experiences
… such as queer as an identity, the coming out process, representation within the LGBTQ+ community, internalized homophobia, labels and stereotypes, and the overall progression of a person discovering and embracing various aspects of their identity. The idea for this portfolio began with the …

Algorithms and inference for simultaneous-event multivariate point-process, with applications to neural data
The formulation of multivariate point-process (MPP) models based on the Jacod likelihood does not allow for simultaneous occurrence of events at an arbitrarily small time resolution. In this thesis, we introduce two versatile representations of a simultaneous event multivariate point-process …

Assembly Video Understanding for Human-Robot Collaboration: Methods and Applications
… compassion, and coevolution. In this process, robots are transitioning from machines focused solely on production tasks to reliable partners that prioritise human needs and well-being. This shift requires robots to learn from human expertise, understand human needs and intentions, and …

The Impact of Climate Change upon the Snowmelt Hydrology of an Upland UK Catchment
… hydrology. However, the limited hydrological process representation of the model meant it could not reliably forecast changes in the winter flow regime. Therefore the snow accumulation and melt equations were incorporated into the physically based Connectivity Runoff Model (CRUM). This …

Trading water for carbon in a changing climate: can optimality theory improve the predictability of land surface models?
… model (LSM) predictability, through improved process-representation of vegetation function, and by reducing existing reliance on poorly supported empirical functions. Major contributions from the thesis include: 1. The development and testing of a novel canopy gas-exchange scheme, that …

Iterchanging Discrete Event Simulationprocess Interaction Modelsusing The Web Ontology Language - Owl
… are associated with world views, including the process interaction orientation. Historically, these models have been encoded using high-level programming languages or special purpose, typically vendor-specific, simulation languages. These approaches complicate simulation model reuse and …

Seasonal hydrologic dynamics under changing climate, land use-land cover and human influence
… study since it incorporates detailed physical process representation, uses physical parameterization without the need for calibration and can be run at relatively high spatial and temporal resolutions. A coupled modeling framework is applied to assess human water use impact on hydrologic …

PROCESS MINING FOR REENGINEERING CIRCULAR AND RESILIENT PRODUCTION PROCESSES
This thesis explores the integration of process mining techniques with deep learning models to enhance the understanding, analysis, and optimization of complex business processes. Process mining bridges the gap between model-driven and data-driven approaches through a set of techniques that extract …

Multi-Scale Modelling of Cold Regions Hydrology
… spatial heterogeneity and field-testable process representations in such models. However, standard techniques for spatial representation such as raster discretization can lead to prohibitively large computational costs and increased uncertainty due to increased degrees of freedom. As well, …

Statistical and process-based models for understanding species distributions in changing environments
… species (biotic factors), migratory or dispersal processes (site accessibility) as well as the continuing effects of past events, e.g. disturbances (site legacy). Existing approaches to predict species distributions either (i) correlate observed species occurrences with environmental variables …

Combining smart model diagnostics and effective data collection for snow catchments
… power of flood models requires a meaningful representation of bio-physical processes. Therefore great interest exists to improve the process representation. Progress in hydrological process understanding is achieved through a learning cycle including critical assessment of an existing model …

Rural Land Management Impacts on Catchment Scale Flood Risk
… associated with field-scale hydrological processes simultaneously with the upscaling of these processes to the downstream locations where flood risk is of concern. Most approaches to this problem aim to upscale from individual grid cells to whole catchments, something that restricts the …
