Temporal Lobe Transients and Prayer
<p>Persinger (1983) theorized that religious experiences involve the production of brief, micro-seizures that originate in the limbic system and affect the temporal lobes of the brain. According to this theory, ritual behavior could be used by individuals to induce micro-seizure activity. The …

Multiwavelength Studies of Rotating Radio Transients
… a new class of pulsars called the Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs) was discovered with the Parkes radio telescope in Australia (McLaughlin et al., 2006). These neutron stars are characterized by strong radio bursts at repeatable dispersion measures, but not detectable using standard …

Detecting anomalous transients in meertrap data
… an excellent telescope to search for fast radio transients such as pulsars and fast radio bursts (FRBs). MeerTRAP (more TRAnsients and Pulsars), which commensally uses MeerKAT to search for fast radio transients, detects tens of thousands of candidate objects daily (on average), although the vast …

Transients in the errorbox of GW190814
We are now firmly in the era of multi-messenger astronomy. The detection of the first binary black hole (BBH) merger in GW150914 [1] opened up the era of gravitational wave astronomy, with a further 9 such mergers being detected during the first two observing runs (O1 and O2) of the LIGO Scientific …

Cogeneration in distribution system : planning, operation, transients
… distribution feeder through a Δ/Y transformer. Transients caused switching of the induction generator, by single line-to-ground fault, double line-to-ground fault through contact resistances, broken conductor touching the ground through a small resistance, isolating the induction generator to …

Transients in Electricity Networks with Distributed Generation
Micro-grids are becoming very popular due to the plug-and-play nature of their integration. However, the high penetration of distributed generators (DGs) may also create potential instability due to the special characteristics of DG units and their low inertia. With the increase of DG penetration …

Elucidating trends and transients in CO2 dissociation
The purpose of this dissertation is to — on occasion very literally — shine a light on processes that occur in non-thermal plasmas containing CO2, mostly for CO2 conversion. In particular, the focus lies on the transient behaviour of these discharges: how do these systems evolve over time before …

Classification of multiwavelength transients with machine learning
… increase the detected number of radio transients. Currently radio transient datasets are still very small, allowing spectroscopic classification of all objects of interest. As the event rate increases, follow-up resources must be prioritised by making use of early classification of the …

Detecting optical transients and variables with MeerLICHT
… Due to the time-critical nature of some transients, with prompt emission that can fade rapidly, this delay in follow up observations can result in important information about the event being missed. Thus, the concept of MeerLICHT was born. MeerLICHT is an fully robotic, optical telescope …

Localization of acoustic transients in shallow water environments
Determination of an underwater target's position using passive acoustic sensors is of considerable use for the Navy, both for Anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and underwater surveillance. This thesis proposes and develops localization algorithms capable of passively determining the location of a …

Investigating Exoplanets and Transients Using Small-Aperture Telescopes
This work characterises PIRATE’s primary camera, the SBIG STX-16803, as well as assessing the usefulness and impact of a small-aperture semi-autonomous facility in Mallorca for exoplanet studies and studies of transient sources. Additionally, a method for exploring the Roche lobe of an exoplanet …

Capturing transients: an application of biostatistics to astronomy
… future course for population size estimation of transients and variable stellar population alongside population synthesis simulations. The generation of capture histories remain non-trivial through the choice of observation grouping, brightness scale, and imposed flux threshold. Further, there …

Speech filtering for improving intelligibility in noisy transients
Hearing impairment is a problem that affects a large percentage of the population. Cochlear implants allow those with profound or total hearing loss to regain some hearing by stimulating auditory nerve fibers with implanted electrodes, in response to sound picked up by an external microphone. The …

Calculating failure probabilities of passive systems during transients
A time-dependent reliability evaluation of a two-loop passive Decay Heat Removal (DHR) system was performed as part of the iterative design process for a helium-cooled fast reactor. The system was modeled using RELAP5-3D. The uncertainties in input parameters were assessed and were propagated …
