Systematic testing for actor programs
… reliable parallel and distributed code. Testing such code is notoriously difficult, especially for shared-memory models of programming. The actor model of programming offers a promising alternative for developing concurrent systems based on message passing. In actor-based systems, …

Impact of surface area and porosity on the cooling performance of evaporative cooling devices
… performance. Both design parameters lack prior systematic testing that methodically varies levels of surface area and material porosity to understand their effects on these devices' cooling performance (e.g. maximum temperature drop, duration of high internal relative humidity, cooling …

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Studies Investigating the Role of the DLPFC in Memory and Metamemory
… sought to replicate and extend this work by: 1) testing the effects of HD-tDCS over the DLPFC in memory and metamemory monitoring for an episodic memory task, 2) testing of the effects of conventional tDCS over the DLPFC in memory and metamemory monitoring for both a semantic and episodic task …

Design and Development of High Density High Temperature Power Module with Cooling System
… process are also presented. Furthermore, a systematic optimal design process and parametric study of the heatsink-fan cooling system by applying the analytical model is described. This dissertation also established a systematic testing procedure which can rapidly detect defects and reduce …

Characterization of Avirulent Turkey Hemorrhagic Enteritis Virus: A Study of the Molecular Basis for Variation in Virulence and the Occurrence of Persistent Infection
… The infectious clone would also allow for the systematic testing of genes that are suspected to be involved in virulence.

Integrating behavioural science and design thinking: Development and evaluation of a mobile intervention to increase vegetable consumption
… to drive changes in health behaviours or undergo systematic testing to demonstrate their effectiveness. Moreover, published frameworks to guide the development of such technologies have yet to integrate best practices from academia and industry. The aim of this dissertation was therefore to …

Learning and recognition of hybrid manipulation tasks in variable environments using probabilistic flow tubes
… including a robotic hardware platform. Systematic testing in a two-dimensional environment shows up to a 27% improvement in activity recognition rates over prior art, while maintaining average computing times for incremental recognition of less than half of human reaction time.

Development of a Single-Point SV-LDI-1 System: A Benchmark Study for Future Experiments
… limits of a redesigned SV-LDI-1 combustion testing rig using Jet-A fuel, with a particular focus on defining LBO equivalence ratio (ER) limits, defining trends in SPL as a function of ER and swirl number (SN), and generating operability maps that describe testing conditions for future …

Routes in and out of problem internet gambling by gender and by gambling activity: a mixed-method study based on personal accounts of internet gamblers
… The model potentially offers a vehicle for systematic testing and comparison of factors influencing stability and change of IG involvement.

Investigation into the effects and mechanisms of rapamycin treatment in two mouse models of Complex I-deficient neurological pathology
… of deleterious behavioral phenotypes. Systematic testing of potential mechanisms mediating these effects led us to favor a model in which rapamycin induces a metabolic shift in NDUFS4 KO brains toward amino acid catabolism and away from glycolysis, thus alleviating the buildup of …

Tradeoffs and co-benefits among impacts of contrasting livestock systems
… to produce a unit of product (Chapter 2). I systematically evaluated two externality costs that are commonly perceived to trade off against one another: land use and antimicrobial use (Chapter 3). I found weak evidence of a tradeoff between these externalities but importantly also found …

"Every picture tells a story". A study of those who gather and accumulate legal and illegal images
… and empirical papers. A case is also made for systematic testing of McIntosh and Schmeichel's (2004) psychological model of collecting process, using a parsimonious model which integrates collecting and offending processes. This thesis also contributes three original studies, using a mixed …
