Home Office : short term prison population projection model
… services. This Thesis presents a new proposed model for short term prison number projection. The thesis was written in September 2004.

Area Based Fan Beam Projection Model for Computed Tomography
… or reflection data, usually referred to as projection data, from x-ray scanning. This projection data is often modeled using line integrals, but x-rays are of finite width in reality, so the accuracy of the projection data can be improved if an area based approach is used instead. In …

A long-run timber output projection model for the nonindustrial private forest sector
… this century. A long-run regional timber output projection model was developed for the NIPF sector. The model was based upon two key assumptions: (1) forest management intensity and timber output are inversely related to the forest landowner’s alternative rate of return, and (2) for the NIPF …

A Marine Corps Enlisted inventory projection model using years of service and pay grade
… This thesis created an enlisted inventory projection model that forecasts required accessions using years of service (YOS) and pay grade as variables, whereas the current projection model in use at HQMC has only the YOS dimension. It is expected that by adding the pay grade variable, the …

Developing a Farm Income Projection Model for Illinois farms to determine advantages of the Agricultural Act of 2014's farm safety net options
The Farm Income Projection Model is intended to model the effects of the new provisions in the Agricultural Act of 2014, particularly in the farm safety net area, on the financial statements of case farms located throughout Illinois. The Farm Income Projection Model is detailed, and can be made to …

Wide-angle Lens Camera Calibration using Automatic Target Recognition
… Through calibration of this system and rigorous modelling of its intrinsic properties, it became apparent that there was ambiguity in the research field about the most precise projection model to use for wide angle lens cameras and camera systems. A series of camera calibrations were carried out …

Statistical modeling strategies for estimation of the arterial input function in dynamic positron emission tomography data analysis
Kinetic modelling of dynamic PET data requires knowledge of tracer concentration in blood plasma, described by the arterial input function (AIF). Arterial blood sampling is the gold standard for AIF measurement, but is invasive and labour intensive. A number of methods have been proposed to …

An integrated system of stand models for loblolly pine
An integrated system of stand models was developed for loblolly pine in which models of different levels of resolution are related by a unified mathematical structure. A “telescoping'' system is presented in which a highly detailed overall model is specified and its components. ''collapsed" around …

Amphibian and reptile conservation in a changing environment: Case studies from the southeastern United States
… salamander movements. I then used future climate projections to forecast movement opportunities for flatwoods salamander from 2030–2099 and used an existing hydrologic model built on the same climate data to understand how phenology may interact with hydrology. Overall, only a small number of …

Soft, round, high resolution tactile fingertip sensors for dexterous robotic manipulation
… procedures in the form of developing a fisheye projection model, and developing a neighborhood and location based continuous look-up table to map the relationship between RGB value and surface normal orientation of the membrane at a point. Finally we perform two dexterous manipulation task with …

Chapters from modeling mortality in Hungary
This thesis attempts to stochastically model and forecast mortality in Hungary, and aims to support the development of the population projection model of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office. From the Lee–Carter model family, we have selected both those used to forecast mortality in a single …

A computer simulation of the population dynamics of the Cape hakes (Merluccius capensis and M. paradoxus)
… over the period 1955-74; consequently, a catch projection model was designed to investigate the hake population. Where appropriate, available data have been included in the model; however, some further research was required: 1. The monthly pattern of availability for 1974-76 was examined using …

Unveiling the impact of neuromotor disorders on speech: a structured approach combining biomechanical fundamentals and statistical machine learning
… of NDs. This work aims to introduce a working model that is capable of linking both domains and serves as a projection tool to provide insights about a speaker’s neuromotor state. This is based on a review of the neurophysiological background of the structure and function of the nervous system, …

Stochastic analysis of longevity and investment risk in the context of life annuities
… Particular attention is directed to stochastic modelling which allows the uncertainty of future projections to be incorporated. Hence, simulation methods are used to consider the distribution of the annuity cost, as well as the more often quoted point estimates. A theoretical extension of the …

Community ecology and population dynamics of the European native oyster (Ostrea edulis) in Essex, UK: A baseline for the management of the Blackwater, Crouch, Roach and Colne Estuaries Marine Conservation Zone
… both studies was then used to create an Integral Projection Model to assess the current status of native oyster populations, assess limiting factors to population growth, and make future projections of these populations to drive management and restoration decisions. Site-dependent restoration …

The analysis of internal migration in the United Kingdom using census and National Health Service Central Register data.
… shortcomings of a sub-national population projection model based primarily on 1981 Census information. The thesis critically examines a number of features of the migration component of the OPCS/DOE projection procedure using NHSCR migration data, and suggests possible improvements to the …

Depersonalization and Projection in Groups: Two Paths to Uncertainty Reduction
… develops and tests a new integrative model, the depersonalization-projection model, which proposes that uncertainty reduction is a key motivation underlying depersonalization and projection processes in groups. The proposed model describes the conditions under which people in group …

The Design of a Power System For a Wireless Sensor Network For Long-Term Operation
… relationships were utilized with a lifetime projection model to estimate a lifetime between 521-551 days, depending on the mode of operation. The power system and QML-WSN were tested over a long term trial lasting 272+ days in an industrial testbed to monitor an air compressor pump. …

On the use of demographic models to inform amphibian conservation and management: A case study of the reticulated flatwoods salamander
… of A. bishopi to construct a demographic model that can be used to evaluate future extinction risk. In chapter one, we quantify population sizes through time, and estimate the impact of annual variability in numbers on genetic viability. This species exists in small (< 500) breeding …
