▼ Gold mine tailings water has been considered for recycling so that fresh water consumption can be reduced. However, the tailings water contains, along with a small amount of free cyanide, a high concentration of thiocyanate that can decrease the efficiency of the flotation of the sulfide minerals containing gold. Therefore, the possibility of using polymer inclusion membranes has been explored to remove thiocyanate and cyanide from tailings water.
A polymer inclusion membrane containing 70% (m/m) poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), 20% (m/m) Aliquat 336 and 10% (m/m) 1-tetradecanol was selected after a number of membrane screening experiments and found to successfully extract thiocyanate from a solution with pH in the range of 7-10 and the extracted thiocyanate in the membrane was efficiently back-extracted using 1 M NaNO3 solution. A mathematical model of thiocyanate extraction was developed and provided excellent agreement with the experimental data, thus allowing both the membrane extraction constant (18.9) and the diffusion coefficient (2.4x10-13 m2 s-1) of thiocyanate within the membrane to be successfully determined. The transport of thiocyanate from the feed to the receiving solution was investigated by varying the membrane thickness (46.1, 78.6, 108.5, 125.7 um) and the temperature (25, 35, 45, 65 °C) and the rate was found to increase with decrease the membrane thickness and with increase in the temperature.
A laboratory scale pilot system has been designed to provide a large surface area (61.5 cm2) of flat sheet membrane in contact with both the feed (1000 mg L-1 SCN-) and receiving (1 M NaNO3) solutions. Thiocyanate was completely transported for over 135 days using a slow flow rate (0.028 mL min-1) and excellent stability of the flat sheet PIM used in the system was observed. The receiving solution was recirculated in the system to limit the consumption of the receiving solution and the removal of thiocyanate from the receiving solution was essential to maintain high transport efficiency. This was achieved by the approach of precipitation of thiocyanate as CuSCN. A study of cyanide extraction and oxidation in the membrane was also carried out to explore the possibility of using PIMs for cyanide clean-up of tailings water.

▼ Loss Of Control In-flight (LOC-I) is currently the largest cause of accidents for the world wide commercial jet transport fleet. To decrease the occurrence of this type of accident, procedures have been modified and pilot training has been increased. However, current training devices lack the appropriate flight models and motion capabilities to be fully representative of these accidents. With the SUPRA generic transport aircraft model and the Desdemona simulator it is possible to provide a representative flight model and to simulate the positive g-loads experienced during upsets and upset recoveries. To better understand the pilot response in these manoeuvres a descriptive pilot model was developed in this thesis. This provides insight into which indications are used by the pilot and how they are interpreted. Additionally the effect of three simulated motion conditions was explored; no motion, extended 'hexapod-like' motion and centrifuge motion. Ten civil transport pilots from several different airlines with varying levels of experience flew two types of stall scenarios in the Desdemona simulator. Both scenarios were repeated 12 times with variations in cockpit indications, control loading and motion condition. Based on the experiment data and pilot feedback a basic descriptive pilot model was developed. Using an iterative fitting process the pilot model response was matched to the experiment data. The resulting pilot model provides a reasonable fit for the average pilot response in the no motion condition. The variation between experiment runs can partially be reproduced by varying the pilot model control gains. No accurate representation could be determined for the effect of the speed tape and the pilot model does not fully reproduce the typical discrete control input behaviour. The experiment also showed a significant effect of the extended 'hexapod-like' motion condition on pilot control behaviour in the unloading phase of the stall recovery. A significant effect of the centrifuge motion condition was found in both the unloading and loading phase of the stall recovery. These effects could not be reproduced by classical negative motion feedback in the pilot model, but were best represented by a small decrease in the pilot model open loop control gain.

▼ China (Shanghai)
Pilot Free Trade Zone (Shanghai FTZ) had lunched at the end of September 2013 and officially operated on following October 1. The business covered inside the had included Waigaoqiao Bonded Logistics Zone, Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, Pudong Airport Comprehensive Bonded Zone and Yangshan bonded Port area which are in 4 distinctive customs supervision. The mainly open 6 items are: financial services, shipping services, commercial services, professional services, cultural services, social services, a total of 18 industries.
Comparatively, Executive Yuan(è¡æ¿é¢) had also announced the proposal of Free Economic
Pilot Zones ( FEPZs) in March 2013. The programs had proposed six harbors: Keelung, Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung, Suao, Anping, and one airport city: Taoyuan Aerotropolis, plus a Pingtung Agricultural biotechnology Park, total are 6 ports, 1 airport city, and 1 agricultural biotechnology park. Simultaneously, there are 6 developing industries in Kaohsiung city had emerged raging from biotechnology and medical industry, maritime and yacht manufacturing industry, to exhibition holdings industry, cultural and creative industry, green industry, and metal related industry.
This article tries to integrate the economic situation from the comparative view between Shanghai FTZ and Kaohsiung FEPZ, especially analyze the 6 item and 6 industries addressed by both
pilot zones. And the conclusion has found that the relation of the two economic zones can form into a supplementary and cooperative relation, instead of competitive one.
Finally the article also tries to make a further suggestion for three critical parties who will involved in the business between the two economic zones.
1. To the central government: reinforce the measures in the FEPZs, and tries to communicate more with the youth, streamline the regulation environment, in order to build a FDI friendly domestic that can prevent from the outflow of talents, technology, and capital.
2. To Kaohsiung city government: empower the professionals, positively assist corporations to transform efficiently; in cooperation with the central government, promote Kaohsiung city as a city harbor with efficient land exploitation and management, especially the land usage in Kaohsiung County.
3. To the private sectors in Kaohsiung city: make the most use of the resources and the advantages of the superior location between mainland China and Taiwan and based in Kaohsiung, in advance to the world.

Pilot modelling for airframe loads analysis.

▼ The development of large lightweight airframes has resulted in what used to be high frequency
structural dynamics entering the low frequency range associated with an aircraft’s rigid body dynamics.
This has led to the potential of adverse interactions between the aeroelastic effects and
flight control, especially unwanted when incidents involving failures or extreme atmospheric disturbances
occur. Moreover, the pilot’s response in such circumstances may not be reproducible
in simulators and unique to the incident. The research described in this thesis describes the
development of a pilot model suitable for the investigation of the effects of aeroelasticity on
manual control and the study of the resulting airframe loads. After a review of the state-ofthe-
art in pilot modelling an experimental approach involving desktop based pilot-in-the-loop
simulation was adopted together with an optimal control based control-theoretic pilot model.
The experiments allowed the investigation of manual control with a nonlinear flight control
system and the derivation of parameter bounds for single-input-single-output pilot models. It
was found that pilots could introduce variations of around 15 dB at the resonant frequency
of the open loop pilot-vehicle-system. Sensory models suitable for the simulation of spatial
disorientation effects were developed together with biomechanical models necessary to capture
biodynamic feedthrough effects. A detailed derivation and method for the application of the
modified optimal control pilot model, used to generate pilot control action, has also been shown
in the contexts of pilot-model-in-the-loop simulations of scenarios involving an aileron failure
and a gust encounter. It was found that manual control action particularly exacerbated horizontal
tailplane internal loads relative to the limit loads envelope. Although comparisons with
digital flight data recordings of an actual gust encounter showed a satisfactory reproduction and
highlighted the adverse affects of fuselage flexibility on manual control, it also pointed towards
the need for more incident data to validate such simulations.

▼ A handling quality investigation was performed on
the swept gull-wing configuration. The swept gull-wing
configuration is tailless and has a wing with a transition in the
sweep and dihedral angle. An example of this type of aircraft is
the Exulans. This aircraft is currently under development at the
University of Pretoria. The handling quality study was focussed on
pitch axis dynamics. The Exulans is a research testbed that will be
used to investigate the swept gull-wing configuration and its
special controls by means of full-scale flight testing. Variable
wing sweep, twisting elevons and winglets will be investigated as
means of control. These control devices are configured in such a
way as to have minimum impact on the performance of the aircraft.
The handling qualities of the swept gull-wing configuration have to
be acceptable while using these different control strategies. The
study was launched to investigate whether a gull-wing configuration
aircraft will have satisfactory handling qualities at CG positions
associated with the most favourable aerodynamic performance. There
is an aerodynamic performance gain in designing an aircraft so that
the CG falls on the so-called `E-point'. The E-point is the centre
of pressure for an elliptical circulation distribution. An
elliptical circulation distribution is associated with the highest
Oswald efficiency for an aircraft. Time domain simulation
techniques and frequency domain analysis techniques were used to
analyse the handling qualities of the gull-wing configuration. The
C-star criterion was used to analyse handling qualities with time
domain simulation data as input. Comparative time domain
simulations were performed between the Exulans and other aircraft
to compare handling qualities. Eigenvalue analysis was used
together with the thumbprint criterion to investigate inherent
gull-wing airframe dynamics. The Shomber-Gertsen and Military
Specification 8785 criteria were also used for the same purpose.
The Neal-Smith method was used to investigate the effect of control
authority on handling qualities and the effect of a
pilot. The
Monnich and Dalldorff criterion was used to evaluate gust handling
qualities. An analysis chart by Fremaux and Vairo was used to
evaluate the tumbling susceptibility of the gull-wing
configuration. The pitch handling quality investigation shows
sufficient promise that the swept gull-wing configuration will have
acceptable handling qualities with the CG placed at positions
associated with optimised aerodynamic performance. Analysis showed
that the swept gull-wing configuration is potentially prone to
tumbling. With low static margins, the configuration should exhibit
improved handling qualities in gusty conditions when compared to
existing tailless aircraft. It is recommended that a lateral
handling quality study be performed before full scale flight
testing commences on the Exulans. In addition, the possibility of
wingtip stall must be investigated for the case of the swept
gull-wing configuration.

▼ The body responds to vascular injury with two intertwined processes: platelet aggregation and coagulation. Platelet aggregation is a predominantly physical process, whereby platelets clump together, and coagulation is a cascade of biochemical enzyme reactions. Thrombin, the major product of coagulation, directly couples the biochemical system to platelet aggregation by activating platelets and by cleaving fibrinogen into fibrin monomers that polymerize to form a mesh that stabilizes platelet aggregates. Transport of coagulation proteins and platelets to and from an injury is controlled largely by the dynamics of the blood flow. To explore how blood flow affects the growth of thrombi and how the growing masses, in turn, feed back and affect the flow, we have developed the first spatial-temporal mathematical model of platelet aggregation and blood coagulation under flow that includes detailed descriptions of coagulation Biochemistry;, chemical activation and deposition of blood platelets, as well as the two-way interaction between the fluid dynamics and the growing platelet mass.

▼ This study analyses the implementation stage of an open innovation initiative in the Portuguese rigid plastic manufacturing group, Logoplaste. It assesses whether the group has the needed structure to sustain the changes that come along with it, both in terms of organizational capabilities, project decisions and individual attitudes levels. It is a 360º degree judgment of the business unit Logoplaste Innovation Lab, in which the initiative will have its initial pilot testing, and in which success is dependent the expansion of the project to the whole group.
Based on the literature on the open innovation implementation topic, a survey tool was constructed, based on a structural framework with the main areas of concern in the implementation processes, developed by Lichtenthaler (2011) – the organization as a whole, the processes management of the projects and the company’s employees, which contribute to the initiative. The survey was sent to Logoplaste Innovation Lab employees and their results served as a support for the conclusions achieved.
The results of this work indicate that Logoplaste is not internally prepared to adopt an open innovation business model in their structure: there are some improvements to be achieved, namely in the individual attitudes level, which is often mentioned in the literature as either a very important contributor or preventer to this type of projects’ success. Based on this conclusion, a set of suggestions is put together being supported by the best market practices and the particular case of this company, so that the implementation of the open innovation model goes for the best.
Este estudo analisa a fase de implementação de uma iniciativa de open innovation no grupo Português de manufatura de plásticos rígidos, Logoplaste. Pretende-se perceber se o grupo tem a estrutura necessária para sustentar as alterações que virão como consequência desta implementação, quer em termos organizacionais, de projeto e individuais. Este estudo é um juízo de 360º sobre a unidade de negócio Logoplaste Innovation Lab, na qual vai ser feito o teste piloto à iniciativa, e sobre o qual o sucesso e expansão ao resto do grupo é dependente.
Tendo em consideração a literatura revista sobre o tópico da implementação de open innovation, foi desenvolvido um questionário online tendo por base a framework de Lichtenthaler (2011), que define as áreas de uma empresa sobre as quais deve incidir maior preocupação em termos de gestão da inovação – a organização como um todo, os processos de gestão dos projetos e os colaboradores da empresa, que contribuem para a iniciativa. O questionário foi enviado para todos os colaboradores da Logoplaste Innovation Lab e os respetivos resultados serviram de suporte às conclusões atingidas.
Os resultados alcançados nesta dissertação indicam que a Logoplaste não está internamente preparada para abrir o seu modelo de negócio: existem melhorias a ser feitas, nomeadamente ao nível das atitudes individuais dos colaboradores, que são frequentemente mencionados na literatura como um fator…

Reducing Pregnancy Risk by Motivation Overweigth and Obese Women to Make Preconception Changes to Diet and Physical Activity Behavior: A Pilot Study.

▼ Overweight and obese women who lose weight prior to pregnancy have fewer pregnancy complications than those who do not (Forsum, Brantsaeter, Olafsdottir, Olsen, & Thorsdottir, 2013; Schummers, Hutcheon, Bodnar, Lieverman, & Himes, 2015). Research findings suggest there are missed opportunities to provide diet and physical activity counseling during preventive care visits. Providers cite a lack of time and resources as barriers (Morgan et al., 2006; Yamamoto et al., 2014).
This was a two-group, randomized,
pilot-study of 19 overweight or obese women in Central Georgia. Participants completed surveys related to their perception of risk for obesity-related pregnancy complications, readiness to change nutrition and physical activity behaviors, nutrition and physical activity self-efficacy, actual physical activity, and dietary history at baseline, after completion of the study, and at follow-up. Those in the intervention group participated in one face-to-face meeting, reviewed eight online education modules, and received weekly booster messages. The control group participated in a similar protocol; however, information was limited to general women’s health topics.
Nineteen women (intervention = 11, control = 8) completed all instruments related to primary outcomes—perception of risk, readiness to change, and self-efficacy. The average age of participants was 28.7 years (
SD = 6.35). The average body mass index was 36.54 kg/m
2 (
SD = 5.52). Women were predominately Caucasian (68.4%) and married (52.6%) with children (57.9%). Most had a college degree (42.1%) or higher (15.8%), and a yearly income between 25,000 and 75,000 (42.1%). Evaluation of completion data, resources, and intervention management indicated that the intervention may be feasible during preventative care visits. Participant responses to exit interview questions demonstrated the intervention may be acceptable for women of childbearing age. Effect sizes ranged from small (<em>ƞ
p2</em>= .00,
p = .88) to large (<em>ƞ
p2</em>= .27,
p = .08) indicating the intervention may be effective in an adequately powered sample.
Future research should focus on the further development and implementation of programs that assist with pre-conception weight loss. Providing women with information regarding the complications associated with being overweight and obese, as well as the information or tools necessary to reduce weight prior to pregnancy, may be instrumental for improving short and long-term pregnancy outcomes for both mothers and their offspring.

▼ The development of large lightweight airframes has resulted in what used to be high frequency structural dynamics entering the low frequency range associated with an aircraft’s rigid body dynamics. This has led to the potential of adverse interactions between the aeroelastic effects and flight control, especially unwanted when incidents involving failures or extreme atmospheric disturbances occur. Moreover, the pilot’s response in such circumstances may not be reproducible in simulators and unique to the incident. The research described in this thesis describes the development of a pilot model suitable for the investigation of the effects of aeroelasticity on manual control and the study of the resulting airframe loads. After a review of the state-ofthe- art in pilot modelling an experimental approach involving desktop based pilot-in-the-loop simulation was adopted together with an optimal control based control-theoretic pilot model. The experiments allowed the investigation of manual control with a nonlinear flight control system and the derivation of parameter bounds for single-input-single-output pilot models. It was found that pilots could introduce variations of around 15 dB at the resonant frequency of the open loop pilot-vehicle-system. Sensory models suitable for the simulation of spatial disorientation effects were developed together with biomechanical models necessary to capture biodynamic feedthrough effects. A detailed derivation and method for the application of the modified optimal control pilot model, used to generate pilot control action, has also been shown in the contexts of pilot-model-in-the-loop simulations of scenarios involving an aileron failure and a gust encounter. It was found that manual control action particularly exacerbated horizontal tailplane internal loads relative to the limit loads envelope. Although comparisons with digital flight data recordings of an actual gust encounter showed a satisfactory reproduction and highlighted the adverse affects of fuselage flexibility on manual control, it also pointed towards the need for more incident data to validate such simulations.

▼ With the development and evolution of technology and aviation safety management, the aviation accident rate of the world has been reducing year by year, and the aviation safety situation appears to be improving. Nevertheless, in the analysis of the causes of aviation accidents of local and foreign civil aircrafts happened in recent years, the proportion of the cause being human factors of
pilot is as high as 90%. And the two major accidents happened to the Navy in the past 10 years were also related to the human error of
pilot. In other words, human factors are is the greatest threats to aviation safety, and should be taken as the core work of aviation safety management in aviation field.
The study refers to the literature about the related human factors of the local and foreign civil aircraft and naval aircraft accidents, and takes the SHELL
model as the classification criterion of the course structure. As a result, the study has screened and summarized 7 constructs, including âbrief introduction of human factors of aviation accidents,â âaviation physiology of
pilot,â âaviation psychology of
pilot,â âinteraction between
pilot and other people,â ârelationship between
pilot and equipment,â ârelationship between
pilot and software,â and ârelationship betweel
pilot and environment.â Under these 7 constructs, the paper designs 60 training subjects.
The research approach of the paper adopts two-stage questionnaire survey. In the first stage, aviation experts screened out 7 constructs with 50 more important subjects. After that, survey is made on the helicopter pilots of the Navy and National Airborne Service Corps. Verbal evaluation function is adopted to analyze different constructs as well as the relative weights and sequence of different courses in these constructs. Furthermore, the study develops for the Navy three courses, namely initial training, specialized training and recurrent training, which are applicable to different training targets. Finally, the study refers to the related literature about human factors of civil aviation, and proposes some improvement strategies for the human factors management of naval
pilot in order to ensure success of the training of the study.
The study sets a 35-hour initial training course, a 26-hour specialized training course, and a 15-hour recurrent training course. Recurrent training course has to be taken regularly every half year. The skill practices of both specialized training and recurrent training can be implemented by the Line Oriented flight training or by the way of role playing so as to let pilots experience their practice in crew resource management. In addition, the study proposes to the Navy some improvement strategies in the aspects of human factors operation doctrine, organization, training and supervision. These improvement strategies and the training courses of the study can be provided to the Navy as a reference for future use in achieving the goal of great improvement on aviation safety.

▼ The Eliminator is a new guided boring machine
developed to address the market need for Pilot Tube Microtunneling
(PTMT) installations in non-displaceable soils. This study is part
of a multi-phase research project sponsored by the Natural Sciences
and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the City of
Edmonton. The main objectives of this research is to investigate
the productivity of the Eliminator, risks associated with this
machine, and methods to predict the required jacking force for
installation of pipes. To achieve these goals, firstly a broad
literature review was conducted on PTMT and the Eliminator as well
as similar technologies such as microtunneling and pipe jacking.
The study then introduces the first pipeline installation project
performed with the Eliminator and assesses the technology’s
economic performance using the project’s productivity and risk
measures. The jacking force of the project was also monitored for
analysis using hydraulic pressure transducers. Five existing
jacking force prediction models used for technologies similar to
the Eliminator were analyzed and compared with each force measured
in the field. Based on the comparison, appropriate methods for
estimating the jacking force of Eliminator projects are
suggested.

▼ Via mixed-culture fermentation, the MixAlcoTM produces carboxylic acids, which are chemically converted into industrial chemicals and hydrocarbon fuels.
Using
pilot fermentation data, The Continuum Particle Distribution
Model (CPDM) overestimated acid concentration (30–90% error) but more closely estimated conversion (<15% error). Incorporating the effect of air into the
model reduced the absolute error of all predictions by >50%.
To analyze fermentation data with semi-continuous streams, the Slope method calculates the average flowrate of material from the slope of the moving cumulative sum with respect to time. Although the Slope method does not significantly improve accuracy, it dramatically reduces error compared to traditional techniques (>40% vs. <2%).
Nutrients are essential for microbial growth and metabolism. For a four-bottle fermentation train, five nutrient contacting patterns (single-point nutrient addition to Fermentors F1, F2, F3, F4, and multi-point parallel addition) were investigated. Compared to the traditional nutrient contacting method (all nutrients fed to F1), the near-optimal feeding strategies improved exit yield, culture yield, process yield, exit acetate-equivalent yield, conversion, and total acid productivity by approximately 31%, 39%, 46%, 31%, 100%, and 19%, respectively.
To estimate nitrogen concentration profiles, a segregated-nitrogen
model uses separate mass balances for solid- and liquid-phase nitrogen; the nitrogen reaction flux between phases is assumed to be zero. Using five fermentation trains, each with a different nutrient contacting pattern, the
model predictions capture basic behavior; therefore, it is a reasonable tool for estimating and controlling nitrogen profiles.
To determine the optimal scenario for mixed-acid fermentations, an array of batch fermentations was performed that independently varied the C/N ratio and the blend of carbohydrate (office paper) and nutrient (wet chicken manure (CM)). Reactant was defined as non-acid volatile solids (NAVS). C/N ratios were based on non-acid carbon (CNA). A blend of 93% paper and 7% wet CM (dry basis) with a C/N ratio of 37 g CNA/g N had the highest culture yield (0.21 g acidproduced/g NAVSinitial), total acid productivity (0.84 g acidproduced/(Lliq·d)), and conversion (0.43 g NAVSconsumed/g NAVSinitial).

▼ Loss-of-control following aerodynamic stall remains the largest contributor to fatal civil aviation accidents. Aerodynamic models past stall are required to train pilots on stall recovery techniques using ground-based simulators, which are safe, inexpensive, and accessible. A methodology for creating representative stall models, which capture essential stall characteristics, is being developed for classes of twin-turboprop commuter and twin-engine regional jet aircraft. Despite having lower fidelity than type specific stall models generated from wind tunnel, flight test, and/or CFD studies data, these models are configuration adjustable and significantly cheaper to construct for high angle-of-attack regimes. Baseline specific stall models are modified to capture changes in aerodynamic coefficients due to configuration variations from a baseline to a target aircraft. A Shape Prescriptive Modeling approach combining existing theory and data using least-squares splines is used to make coefficient change predictions. Initial results are satisfactory and suggest that representative models are suitable for stall training.

▼ A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Management from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics
The purpose of this exploratory study is to identify a common path followed by social entrepreneurs, so as to build a comprehensive empirical model. The methodology used is qualitative interviews; in particular, semi-structured questions were addressed to a sample of ten social entrepreneurs, whose answers were transcribed and analysed.
The main result is represented by a five-stage pattern followed by social entrepreneurs: each stage is firstly described and further linked to specific challenges that social entrepreneurs face and assets they need during the process. It is fundamental to highlight that some of these stages and challenges are peculiar to social entrepreneurship, differing from regular entrepreneurship.
The key conclusion is that it is possible to identify a common pattern that could guide current and future social entrepreneurs. Furthermore, this research paper emphasises best practices and lesson learned from current social entrepreneurs by leaving a powerful heritage to who is interested in make a real change in society.

▼ Unplanned maintenance is a costly factor in aircraft operations. Predictive Maintenance aims at reducing the surprise effect of unplanned maintenance and thereby its associated cost. A variety of statistical models are used to estimate the remaining life, as well as sensors to gauge component condition. The application to statistical models of sensory information coming from the
pilot, in the form of
pilot complaints, appears to be an overlooked option worth investigating. In other words: What is the effect of
pilot complaints on the predictability of component removals? This question is answered by determining relevant words in the
pilot complaints using a TF-IDF analysis and use the presence of these words as covariate in the well known Proportional Hazards
Model. Left truncation and right censoring is applied to limit the time-invariant nature of these covariates. The results in the form of hazard ratios indicate a hazard increase of several orders of magnitude with respect to baseline hazard. These results are put into perspective when compared when compared to the known outcome of the
pilot complaints, making their added predictability seem marginal. Another adverse indication is the violation of the proportionality assumption. The magnitude of the hazard ratios do suggest that additional measures in the from of a more in depth natural language processing and the application of time-varying covariates could bring the concept closer to practical application.

▼ Despite recent advances in flight control systems, aircraft ground manoeuvres are still conducted manually. This thesis aims to improve the efficiency and safety of airport operations by developing a real-time optimal controller for ground operations, especially high-speed runway turnoff. A reliable and robust controller is able to improve airport traffic capacity and reduce runway events of incursion, excursion, and confusion. A high-fidelity fully-parameterised aircraft model is developed to capture aircraft ground dynamics. The nonlinearities enter the system via sub-models of tyres and aerodynamics. A numerical continuation method is used to compute and track steady-state solutions under the variation of parameters, providing a global picture of the system stability within a typical operation envelop. Dynamic simulations are carried out to analyse transient behaviours which are not captured by the bifurcation analysis. Three controllers are employed to investigate the automation of aircraft runway exit manoeuvres. An Expert Pilot Model is developed to represent manoeuvres that are manually operated by pilots. To evaluate the optimality of the proposed Expert Pilot Model (EPM), Generalised Optimal Control (GOC) is employed to numerically investigate the optimal solutions for aircraft runway exit manoeuvres. A formal solution of real-time optimal steering control problem is desired in light of the gap between the Expert Pilot Model and Generalised Optimal Control. Therefore, Predictive Steering Control is developed based on Linear Quadratic method with lookahead, which is able to deliver near-optimal manoeuvres.

▼ Powder Compaction Process (PCP) is a production method commonly used in the manufacturing industry today. Several analysis methods for powder compaction process are developed and being used in order to minimize costly experiments, to produce complicated near-net shape and to optimize serial production of details. This thesis has dealt with Finite Element (FE) simulation of the cold compaction process. The reason for simulating cold compaction is to predict relative density distribution in the compact for various powder fill and punch motion options. An evaluation of a number of commercial FE codes has been carried out. The MSC Marc program, which incorporates the Shima Model, has been used for compaction of Fe-based metal powders. The relative density distributions of the pressure models and the displacement models of the cylindrical and the stepped cylindrical geometries obtained via FE simulation in this research are encouraging that agree well with observations made in practice.

▼ While the locomotion performance of legged robots over flat terrain or known obstacles has improved over the past few decades, they have yet to equal the performance of their animal counterparts over variable terrain. This work analyzes a multi-legged reduced order
model of cockroach locomotion on variable slopes which will be used as an inspiration for a future sprawled posture legged robot. The cockroach is modeled as a point mass, and each leg of the cockroach is modeled as a massless, tangentially rigid, linearly elastic spring attached at the center of mass. All of the springs are actuated to allow changes in energy to the system. This is accomplished by varying the force free length of each leg in a feed-forward manner without reliance on feedback to change the actuation scheme. Fixed points of the
model are found using a numerical solver that varies the velocity and phase shift parameters while leaving all other parameters at fixed values selected to match true cockroach motion. Each fixed point is checked for stability and robustness representing how effective the
model is at staying on the predetermined gait, and transport cost as a measure of how efficient this gait is. Stable and robust fixed points were successfully found for the range of heading angles encompassing those of representative cockroach motion at each slope. Cockroaches may select the gait
used based on stability or efficiency. Thus, additional fixed points were found in combination with a search routine that varies the leg actuation parameters in order to optimize either stability or metabolic efficiency, gaining insights into why cockroaches use the gaits that they do. Optimized fixed points were found based on four different leg functional combination families depending on whether each leg pushes or pulls. Optimized fixed point gaits exist for every incline slope studied between level ground and vertical slopes, at a range of initial heading angles that encompass those typically used by cockroaches. The selected gaits using both a stability based and an efficiency based optimization on the modeled cockroach are very similar. Both are also similar to gaits used by real cockroaches. The forces generated by the
model are qualitatively similar
to the experimental forces.

▼ Mathematical models applied to epidemiology are useful tools that help understand how infectious diseases spread in populations, and hence support public-health decisions. Over the last 250 years, these modelling tools have have developed at an increasing rate, both on the theoretical and computational sides.
This thesis explores various modelling techniques to address debated or unanswered questions about the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases, in particular sexually transmitted ones.
The role of sero-discordant couples (when only one partner is infected) in the HIV epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa is controversial. Their importance compared to other sexual transmission routes is critical when designing intervention policies. In chapter 2, I used a compartmental model with an original partnership process to show that infection of uncoupled individuals is usually the predominant route, while transmission within discordant couples is also important, but to a lesser extent.
Despite the availability of inexpensive antimicrobial treatment, syphilis remains prevalent worldwide, affecting millions of individuals. Development of a syphilis vaccine would be a potentially promising step towards control, but the value of dedicating resources to vaccine development should be evaluated in the context of the anticipated benefits. In chapter 3, I explored the potential impact of a hypothetical syphilis vaccine on morbidity from both syphilis and HIV using an agent-based model. My results suggest that an efficacious vaccine has the potential to sharply reduce syphilis under a wide range of scenarios, while expanded treatment interventions are likely to be substantially less effective.
General concepts in epidemic modelling, that could be applied to any disease, are still debated. In particular, a rigorous definition and analysis of the generation interval – the interval between the time that an individual is infected by an infector and the time this infector was infected – needed clarification. Indeed, the generation interval is a fundamental quantity when modelling and forecasting epidemics. Chapter 4 clarifies its theoretical framework, explains how its distribution changes as an epidemic progresses and discuss how empirical generation-interval data can be used to correctly inform mathematical models.

▼ Complex adult tissues develop from single cells during embryonic development. These tissues are formed without instruction from external cues i.e. they are self-assembled. In this thesis, we present novel mathematical methods and experimental results that help us to understand the self-assembly of several different biological tissues.
First, we consider the self-organization of periodic patterns – for example, the regularly spaced gene expression stripes that prepattern the fingers in the hand – many of which have been described by Turing’s reaction-diffusion hypothesis. In Chapter 2, we use a generic model of periodic patterning to challenge the prevalence of Turing’s model and instead argue that many tissues could be patterned by cell-based and mechanical mechanisms. In Chapter 3, we extend this theory to consider pattern orientation (i.e. how the direction of a striped pattern is controlled) and suggest three types of mechanism that are broadly applicable. In Chapter 4, we apply these theoretical results to a specific biological question, namely: how are evenly spaced digits (fingers) specified in the hand? We propose a novel model of limb patterning in which the digits are specified as an array of spots, and then elongate into rod-like cartilage elements to form the fingers.
In Chapter 5, we consider a completely different way to form a repetitive pattern, using a genetic oscillator coupled to a moving wavefront which converts a temporal oscillation into a spatial periodicity. Such a mechanism has been proposed to explain the rhythmic and sequential formation of somites along the vertebrate backbone, but the precise mechanism was unclear. Using a combination of experiments and modeling, we propose a new, scaling-based model of somitogenesis that reconciles previously inconsistent data, and can fully predict several new experimental perturbations.
Finally, in Chapter 6, we move away from patterning and instead focus on the control of cell number as tissues self-assemble. Using high-resolution timelapse imaging and physical perturbations applied to zebrafish embryos, we uncovered a novel feedback mechanism of cell number in the neural tube: regulation of differentiation rate by cell shape and tissue packing.

▼ This thesis has been performed in the university context for Master thesis 30 credits,which is a compulsory exercise in order to gain a degree in electrical engineering.
The thesis main objectives were to investigate how the damping and the stiffness of ahydroelectric generator changed depending on different parameter values, and to testa new mathematical model to calculate the damping and stiffness constants Kd and Ks.The work has been performed at the request of VG Power, but has been performedat the division for electricity at Uppsala University. The reason for undertaking thisthesis was to ensure that generators are robust. But also when building future modelsfor generators, to have a system that can be used to compute robustness.
During this thesis a power cabinet has also been constructed to be able to test thesimulated model on a real generator. Under the first five weeks a power cabinet wasconstructed in the laboratory at the division for electricity. The tests were thenperformed at a generator with a rated power of 75 kVA.

▼ Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a viral infectious disease that can be transmitted to humans through interaction with infected animals or humans. In this thesis, we will investigate the basic compartment models for infectious diseases qualitatively and quantitatively. The equilibrium points and their stability will be explored by using differential equations methods. Based on the available data on the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, this research study will clarify the
model of MERS-CoV analytically and numerically. Additionally, this proposed study will explore the optimal control to reduce the spread of MERS-CoV disease as well as its threshold.
Mathematical software, such as MAPLE, will be used to investigate the
model.

▼ In this work we combine in vitro experimentation with mathematical modeling to study the combined effect of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor nilotinib and ionizing radiation on acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. We develop a mathematical model for the cell response to this combined therapy. This mathematical model is parameterized via cell viability experiments conducted at a variety of different levels of nilotinib concentration and radiation exposure. We use this parameterized mathematical model to predict cell viability at new levels of nilotinib concentration. These predictions are then compared with new sets of cell viability experiments. We then investigate the structure of optimal radiation dosing schedules under our mathematical model. Finally, the model is expanded to incorporate an additional toxicity constraint on healthy lymphoblast cells, further characterizing optimized treatment protocols.

▼ The sinoatrial node (SAN) is the primary pacemaker of the heart and its role is to generate the electrical signals that initiate the cardiac contraction. In this study, the frequency synchronization characteristics of the SAN were examined using experimentally validated mathematical models of individual SAN cells from different regions. These models were extended to describe cells as a function of location, and to take into account the constrained external environment of the SAN tissue.The synchronization of the cells was determined both as a function of the time that they were coupled, and as a function of the strength of the coupling. Three main coupling modalities were explored: constant-gap junction conductances which directly connected the cytosols of the neighbouring cells, voltage-dependent gap junction conductances and diffusive coupling due to ionic mixing in the interstitial space between neighbouring cells.The investigations show that only three to five active gap junctions are required for frequency synchronization of cell pairs. The critical coupling conductance, the minimum required for the frequency synchronization of neighbouring coupled cells, was found to linearly increase as a function of the difference between the cycle lengths of the coupled cells. Extending this to one- and two-dimensional networks, the critical coupling conductance was found to be higher than any individual pair within the networks, but still only a small number of active gap junction channels, indicating substantial redundancy in the biological system. Taking the voltage-dependent characteristics of the gap junctions into account, variations were found in the sub-critical synchronization behaviour, indicating that these features have important influences for systems with weak coupling.Diffusive coupling caused oscillations in the extracellular concentrations and cycle lengths of the cells. Alone this was insufficient to cause frequency entrainment between dissimilar neighbours. Combined with gap junction conductances however, the specific influence of the diffusive coupling was clearly visible, altering the critical conductance by up to 65%. This secondary coupling mechanism could be an important modulator of synchronization in the SAN.

▼ The study of mathematical anxiety has seen an increased importance in the past few decades in the field of mathematical education. As this topic is of great interest in education research, this thesis investigates the previous contributions made by other researchers via a literature review of mathematical education papers. Furthermore, a literature review of mathematical models of learning is presented. In the hopes of closing the gap between these two streams of research, this thesis conducts a study of mathematical anxiety at the first year university level through a survey and data analysis, and proposes a theoretical model of learning. Throughout the data analysis, the prevalence, effects, and correlates of mathematical anxiety are examined. Using a version of the Mathematical Anxiety Rating Scale refined by Plake \& Parker in 1982, factors such as gender, high school performance, and program choices are shown to be correlated to mathematical anxiety, as is consistent with previous literature. On the other hand, the model of learning offers a theoretical perspective in understanding the relationship between knowledge, effort, and anxiety, and how these variables interact during a learning experience. This model suggests that given an individual's aptitude, drive, and susceptibility for anxiety, that they may reach various levels of knowledge, effort, and anxiety throughout an academic term.

▼ Filamentous fungi are important in an enormous variety of ways to our life, with examples ranging from bioremediation, through the food and drinks industry to human health. These organisms can form huge networks stretching metres and even kilometres. However, their mode of growth is by the extension of individual hyphal tips only a few microns in diameter. Tip growth is mediated by the incorporation of new wall building materials at the soft apex. Just how this process is controlled (in fungi and in cell elongation in other organisms) has been the subject of intense study over many years and has attracted considerable attention from mathematical modellers. In this thesis, we consider mathematical models of fungal tip growth that can be classified as either geometrical or biomechanical. In every model we examine, a 2-D axisymmetric semihemisphere-like curve represents half the medial section of fungal tip geometry. A geometrical model for the role of the Spitzenkorper in the tip growth was proposed by Bartnicki-Garcia et al (1989), where a number of problems with the mathematical derivation were pointed out by Koch (2001). A suggestion is given as an attempt to revise the derivation by introducing a relationship between arc length of a growing tip, deposition of wall-building materials and tip curvature. We also consider two types of geometrical models as proposed by Goriely et al (2005). The first type considers a relationship between the longitudinal curvature and the function used to model deposition of wall-building materials. For these types of models, a generalized formulae for the tip shape is introduced, which allows localization of deposition of wall-building materials to be examined. The second type considers a relationship between longitudinal and latitudinal curvatures and the function used to model deposition of wall-building materials. For these types of models, a new formulation of the function used to model deposition of wall-building materials is introduced. Finally, a biomechanical model as proposed by Goriely et al (2010). Varying arc length of the stretchable region on the tip suggests differences in geometry of tip shape and the effective pressure profile. The hypothesis of orthogonal growth is done by focusing only on the apex of a "germ tube". Following that, it suggests that material points on the tip appear to move in a direction perpendicular to the tip either when surface friction is increased or decreased.

▼ São publicados, regularmente, vários dados, relatórios e estudos relativamente a diversos temas
cruciais para a evolução de um país, fatores chave como a inovação, a competitividade, indicadores
económicos, entre outros, mas não relativamente ao estado da qualidade de cada país.
Assim, este trabalho propõe o desenvolvimento da World Quality Framework, com vista a olhar a
Qualidade segundo os níveis micro, meso e macro. Com esta classificação, o objetivo é o
desenvolvimento de um modelo, o World State of Quality (WSQ), com vista a poder caraterizar e
analisar o estado da Macroqualidade de cada país. Este modelo resulta de um conjunto de indicadores,
disponibilizados e publicados regularmente por bases de dados e/ou relatórios públicos, agrupados em
diferentes dimensões de acordo com áreas chave para a avaliação da Macroqualidade.
A avaliação da Macroqualidade segundo o modelo World State of Quality foi efetuada com os dados
mais recentes disponíveis, tendo sido efetuada uma análise por dimensão, por país e por grupo de
países, consoante uma pontuação WSQ. Esta pontuação é uma média ponderada e foi determinada
segundo a opinião de um painel de especialistas tendo em conta a contribuição de cada indicador para
a avaliação da Macroqualidade. Neste caso, foi efetuado, em termos de projeto piloto, para os países
da União Europeia.
Com este modelo e esta Framework é possível caraterizar e avaliar cada país de acordo com o seu
nível de Macroqualidade, permitindo assim, tendo em conta a posição nos rankings de cada indicador
e a pontuação WSQ, perceber qual o grupo em que determinado país se encontra, quais as suas forças
e as possíveis áreas de melhoria, com vista a definir novas medidas, políticas e estratégias, sendo útil
para várias instituições, governos e organizações.
