Numerical Modelling Of Responses Of Offshore Wave Energy Converters In Extreme Waves, Pierre-Henri Musiedlak Jan 2019

Numerical Modelling Of Responses Of Offshore Wave Energy Converters In Extreme Waves, Pierre-Henri Musiedlak

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses

Wave Energy is a promising sector for sustainable low-carbon energy production. Despite the effort put in the last decade, concerning problems remained unsolved. Numerical modelling can play a key role in the assessment of extreme responses necessary to the understanding of Wave Energy Converter (WEC) capacity to survive extreme conditions. However, high-fidelity codes are too time-consuming for industries, while codes of lower fidelity are based on major physical assumptions inducing concerning uncertainties. Therefore, the present study - sponsored jointly by DNV GL and the University of Plymouth - develops an hybrid model coupling the low-fidelity model WaveDyn, with a Computational …

Linear And Nonlinear Buckling Analysis Of Castellated Beams, B Kim, S Elaiwi, L-Y Li

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

The aim of the present paper is to investigate the effect of web openings on the lateral-torsional buckling resistance of castellated beams by using both analytical and numerical methods. The analytical approach is developed based on the principle of minimum potential energy, meanwhile elastic and inelastic numerical solutions obtained using ANSYS software are for the validation of the analytical solutions. The investigations are carried out through the application of uniformly distributed transverse loading on top flange of a castellated beam with common boundary conditions. The developed analytical solutions is can be used for the design and practical use.

Human Electroencephalogram Based Biomarkers For Detection Of Alzheimer’S Disease, Ali H. Husseen Al-Nuaimi Jan 2019

Human Electroencephalogram Based Biomarkers For Detection Of Alzheimer’S Disease, Ali H. Husseen Al-Nuaimi

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive disorder that affects cognitive brain functions and develops many years before there are any clinical manifestations. A biomarker that provides a quantitative measure of changes in the brain in the early stages of AD would therefore be useful for early diagnosis. However, this would involve dealing with large numbers of people because up to 50% of dementia sufferers do not receive a formal diagnosis. Thus, there is a need for accurate, low-cost, robust, and easy to use biomarkers that can be used to detect AD in its early stages. Recent guidelines promote the use …

Neural Correlates Of Weighted Reward Prediction Error During Reinforcement Learning Classify Response To Cognitive Behavioral Therapy In Depression, Filippo Queirazza, Elsa Fouragnan, J. Douglas Steele, Jonathan Cavanagh, Marios G. Philiastides Jan 2019

Neural Correlates Of Weighted Reward Prediction Error During Reinforcement Learning Classify Response To Cognitive Behavioral Therapy In Depression, Filippo Queirazza, Elsa Fouragnan, J. Douglas Steele, Jonathan Cavanagh, Marios G. Philiastides

School of Psychology

While cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for major depressive disorder, only up to 45% of depressed patients will respond to it. At present, there is no clinically viable neuroimaging predictor of CBT response. Notably, the lack of a mechanistic understanding of treatment response has hindered identification of predictive biomarkers. To obtain mechanistically meaningful fMRI predictors of CBT response, we capitalize on pretreatment neural activity encoding a weighted reward prediction error (RPE), which is implicated in the acquisition and processing of feedback information during probabilistic learning. Using a conventional mass-univariate fMRI analysis, we demonstrate that, at the group …

The ACT intervention consisted of four weekly 2‐hr didactic group sessions. Therapeutic effects were measured by examining changes in depression (primary outcome), anxiety, hope, health‐related quality of life, self‐rated health status, and mental well‐being. …


Facial Identification For Digital Forensic, Hiba Al-Kawaz Jan 2019

Facial Identification For Digital Forensic, Hiba Al-Kawaz

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses

Forensic facial recognition has become an essential requirement in criminal investigations as a result of the emergence of electronic devices, such as mobile phones and computers, and the huge volume of existing content. Forensic facial recognition goes beyond facial recognition in that it deals with facial images under unconstrained and non-ideal conditions, such as low image resolution, varying facial orientation, poor illumination, a wide range of facial expressions, and the presence of accessories. In addition, digital forensic challenges do not only concern identifying an individual but also include understanding the context, acknowledging the relationships between individuals, tracking, and numbers of …

Plymouth Business School

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of stakeholder pressures on firm’s circular economy (CE) initiatives. The organizational responses are quite heterogeneous even when the firms face similar pressure. The authors have tried to explain this heterogeneity by using innovative capability as mediating variables. Design/methodology/approach Empirical survey data from Indian manufacturing firms are obtained to test the proposed hypotheses. The hypotheses are grounded in resource-based view of the firm. The authors used structural equation modeling approach with maximum likelihood methods of approximation. Findings The results indicate that exploratory innovation positively influences the firms to adopt CE …

What Controls Submarine Channel Development And The Morphology Of Deltas Entering Deep-Water Fjords?, Jenny A. Gales, Peter J. Talling, Matthieu J.B. Cartigny, Clarke J Hughes, Gwyn Lintern, Cooper Stacey, Michael A. Clare

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

River deltas and associated turbidity current systems produce some of the largest and most rapid sediment accumulations on our planet. These systems bury globally significant volumes of organic carbon and determine the runout distance of potentially hazardous sediment flows and the shape of their deposits. Here we seek to understand the main factors that determine the morphology of turbidity current systems linked to deltas in fjords, and why some locations have well developed submarine channels whilst others do not. Deltas and associated turbidity current systems are analysed initially in five fjord systems from British Columbia in Canada, and then more …
