Numerical Approximation Of Lyapunov Exponents And Its Applications In Control Systems, Nakita K. Andrews
College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations
The progression of state trajectories with respect to time, and its stability properties can be described by a system of nonlinear differential equations. However, since most nonlinear dynamical systems cannot be solved by hand, one must rely on computer simulations to observe the behavior of the system. This work focuses on chaotic systems. The Lyapunov Exponent (LE) is frequently used in the quantitative studies of a chaotic system. Lyapunov exponents give the average rate of separation of nearby orbits in phase space, which can be used to determine the state of a system, e.g. stable or unstable. The objective of …

A Semi-Active Vibration Isolator For 3d Printing On Shipboard, Mohammad Z. Shahabuddin
College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations
In the recent years, additive manufacturing (AM) (aka 3D printing)-has become a viable alternative to traditional manufacturing due to its unique advantages, such as enabling the fabrication of complex geometries at reduced weight and costs as well as allowing on-site fabrication for maintenance and repair. One specific application area of the AM is the navy vessels. During extended voyages, the navy vessels likely require the convenience of on-site fabrication of the malfunctioned parts. However, the shipboard equipment suffers from a broad range of external excitations arising not only from the waves but also from the vessel’s engines, which …
Reclamation Of Fused Silica From Investment Shells Used For Casting Steel, Samuel L. Holt
Reclamation Of Fused Silica From Investment Shells Used For Casting Steel, Samuel L. Holt
College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations
Fused silica is widely used for investment casting shell molds. Fused silica shells are discarded after being used for casting one time. This is due to the transformation of fused silica to beta cristobalite above 1652℉ (900℃). To reduce cost and waste of investment casting foundries, this study is exploring a method to inhibit transformation of fused silica and reclaim it from high temperature investment casting shells. This research has employed firing to minimalize fused silica transformation to cristobalite. The phase transformation is minimalized due to sintering and coarsening of the particles during firing. Coarsening reduces surface area to volume …
Evaluation Of Supervised Deep-Learning For Improved Pneumonia Diagnosis, Andrew Kalaani
Evaluation Of Supervised Deep-Learning For Improved Pneumonia Diagnosis, Andrew Kalaani
College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations
Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of infections in the lung area and deaths worldwide. The mortality rate is 24.8% for patients over 70 years of age due to other health complications present along with it. In least fortunate countries, pneumonia can often times go untreated because of how cost extensive it is to diagnose, especially severe cases that cannot be seen by a plain X-ray. Other scanning methods can find the lung abnormality but are time-extensive and not cost effective. An autonomous approach however can help aid diagnosing pneumonia with a plain X-ray scan due to the structural …

Current Status Of Design And Construction Of Piles With A Pilot Hole On Rock, Charles C. Crowner
Current Status Of Design And Construction Of Piles With A Pilot Hole On Rock, Charles C. Crowner
College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations
Driven piles at project sites get their load bearing capacity from side friction along the driven lengths as well as from end resistance. Pilot holes is a pile driving assistance method used to aid driving displacement piles through hard/ dense layers and rock. These pilot holes can be a size smaller or larger than the pile that is to be installed. The pilot hole is first drilled down to a specific depth. The use of a pilot hole reduces the “end bearing” and “side resistance” within the drilled zone and aids the driving of the pile. This process also complicates …

Mobegi, Jeremy K. Herren, Abdoulie O. Touray, Fred Wamunyokoli, Hellen Butungi
All Peer-Reviewed Publications
Background: Asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte carriers are reservoirs for sustaining transmission in malaria endemic regions. Gametocyte presence in the host peripheral blood is a predictor of capacity to transmit malaria. However, it does not always directly translate to mosquito infectivity. Factors that affect mosquito infectivity include, gametocyte sex-ratio and density, multiplicity of infection (MOI), and host and vector anti-parasite immunity. We assess the prevalence of gametocyte carriage and some of its associated risk factors among asymptomatic schoolchildren in Western Kenya and to further analyse the association between gametocyte density, multiplicity of infection (MOI) and mosquito infection prevalence. Methods: P. falciparum …

Ceratitis FAR is an African species complex comprising insect pests of great economic interest and obscure species limits. Here, we report the mitochondrial genomes of two members of the FAR complex, namely Ceratitis rosa and the recently characterized Ceratitis quilicii. A phylogenetic analysis based on PCGs of available Tephritidae mitogenomes is presented. The current mitochondrial sequences from the FAR complex could contribute toward the resolution of phylogenetic relationships and species limits within this taxonomically challenging group, which is also an important issue for the development of environment-friendly and species-specific control methods, such as the sterile insect technique (SIT).

Summary – Pratylenchus goodeyi appears to be the most prevalent nematode pest of enset in Ethiopia, where it can occur in extremely high densities. However, the damage to yield or how different enset cultivars react to the nematode has yet to be determined. The current study therefore sought to establish a first assessment of these reactions by enset to P. goodeyi infection. Determining pest-resistant cultivars is an important task in developing management strategies. Our study evaluated nine enset cultivars to establish host response and identify potential sources of resistance. In addition, the pathogenicity of P. goodeyi was assessed on three …
A Framework For Understanding And Establishing An Effective Information Security Culture, Alaa Tolah
A Framework For Understanding And Establishing An Effective Information Security Culture, Alaa Tolah
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses
A challenge facing organisations is information security, as security breaches pose a serious threat to sensitive information. Organisations face security risks in relation to their information assets, which also stems from their own employees. Individuals who work in organisations can cause serious risks, even though investments are generally provided to improve security control measures and other devices. Organisations need to focus on employee actions and behaviour to limit security failures, as they aim to establish effective security culture with employees acting as a natural safeguard for information assets. However, the literature review highlights the lack of prior research models that …

The Morphological And Morphometric Characteristics Of Alabadem Pigeons, Evren Erdem, Fatma Tüli̇n Özbaşer, Eser Kemal Gürcan, Mehmet İhsan Soysal
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study aimed to determine the morphological and morphometric characteristics of Alabadem pigeons, which are grown as ornamental pigeons in Edirne province, and to determine mutual traits with other indigenous pigeon breeds in Turkey by comparing with previous studies. Body weight (P < 0.001), head length (P < 0.01), head width (P < 0.05), beak length (P < 0.001), and tarsus diameter (P < 0.05) of age group III were higher than those of other age groups; however, the wingspan of age group II was greater than that of other age groups in Alabadem pigeon. Compared to other indigenous genotypes in Turkey, the Alabadem pigeon is a small-sized genotype. Alabadem pigeons were similar to Edremit butterfly pigeons and Thracian tumbler pigeons in terms of crested and blackeyed pigeons. On the other hand, the irregularly shaped mark (almond) on the head in Alabadem pigeons was similar to the wide-long irregular shaped mark on the neck of Edremit butterfly pigeons. Some basic plumage colors (black, yellow, and red) and intermediate colors (chickpea and scarlet) were identical to Alabadem pigeons and Thrace roller pigeons. Since Alabadem pigeons have many mutual characteristics with Edremit butterfly pigeons and Thracian roller pigeons, genetic studies may be recommended to determine the degree of relationship among these breeds.

Follow The Leader: Child-Led Inquiries To Develop Science Learning Of Young Children, Pauline Roberts
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
Science education in the early years has been found to be lacking when compared to other content areas, specifically numeracy and literacy. It has been suggested that this lack of opportunity for young children to learn science is due to educator’s lack of confidence to teach science, fuelled by concerns regarding a reduced understanding of science concepts. For young children, however, science is everywhere and is embedded in all aspects of their lives as they explore and interact to make sense of the world around them. Given this natural connection to science, it is important for educators to notice and …
