▼ Peripheral devices are hardware components that are connected to a computer and they supplement the functionality of a computer. Over the years, a huge improvement has been observed both in variety and capabilities of peripheral devices. Starting from the input/output and storage devices of early days, today's peripheral devices support all aspects of a computer, with peripherals like Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) even supplementing the computational capabilities of a processor. At the same time, the support for peripheral devices in computers has vastly improved. While the earlier computers only supported static configuration of devices, the plug-and-play capabilities in present day computers allow devices to be added or removed at run time, thus reducing the complexity of managing peripheral devices. Today, it is not an exaggeration to state that, beyond the computational capability of a computer, it is the peripheral devices that define the user experience. With the advancements in networking and distributed computing, the definition of what constitutes a computer has been blurred: Mainframes and Supercomputing clusters support batch processing, where processors/cores are treated as resources, and number of processors/cores available for a specific computation can be requested on demand. With cloud computing, users access services hosted across the Internet. However, usage models for peripheral devices have not caught up accordingly. For the most part, Peripheral devices are still limited to the computers they are physical attached to. Device virtualization solutions exist that can extend the device protocols over the network, enabling users to access devices connected to a different computer. However, these device virtualization solutions still need direct access to both the computer that has the device plugged in (Device Server) and to the computer that intends to use the device (Device Client) and they do not support remote plug-and-play. So, there is a need for a device consolidation framework that supports new device usage models that are in line with the evolving models of computation. In this thesis, we propose a framework called "Distributed Device Bus", which extends the concept of a conventional peripheral bus to include in its scope, the ports of all the computers that are connected over a network. Like a peripheral bus, a Distributed Device Bus is also associated with a computer called Master node. A Distributed Device Bus supports dynamic addition/deletion of ports and each of these ports can physically belong to any computer in the network. Computers that contribute ports to a Distributed Device Bus are called Provider nodes. A device plugged into any port that is assigned to a Distributed Device Bus is immediately made accessible to applications on master node. This device consolidation framework treats devices as a resource and access to a device is configurable rather than being limited to the computer the device is physically attached to.

▼ The spread of mobile phones across the world is one 01" the most remarkable technology stories or the past decade. Buoyed by prepaid cards and inexpensive handsets, hundreds of millions of first-time telephone owners have made voice calls and text messages part of their daily lives. In Kenya the first quarter of201012011 report from CCK, the lour licensed operators had a combined subscriber base of 22 million mobile subscribers, a 9.5 per cent mobile subscriptions growth from 20.1 million in the last quarter to 22 million subscribers. This is the highest growth that has been recorded over the last three quarters (CCK 201 O).This growth is attributed to the continued reduction III the cost of mobile handsets as well as the low value of prepaid calling cards, Large chunk of mobile phone users are prepaid customer, according to CCK the prepaid subscribers whose proportion or total subscribers reached 99%, (CCK 2010). Yet the available options of toping up air time token is characterized with scratch card manufacturing costs, transportation costs, storage costs, control of distribution channels, Service management, distribution links and stratification of customer according to networks. Therefore the purpose of the study was to investigate the recharge options available for air time token with a view of developing a self service, electronic top up prototype with an intuitive interface that is simple easy and fast way of iopi ng up air time token. The research adopted Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology (SSA DM) using Java Developrnen t Platform An electronic top model for prepaid customers with a user friendly interface has been developed. Air time tokens are credited to mobile devices upon payment through the interface of the electronic top up devices. The user receives a confirmation message of toping up the mobile device. The Prototype was tested and time taken was measured in relation to other top up options available, various graphs were plotted comparing time taken to load air time. The study showed that electronic top method developed was faster than other available options; therefore the technology can be adopted. The main contribution of the study is the integration of the selfservice prototype in the provision of air time through the use of electronic top up system as an approach towards solving problems inherent in the current available option of toping mobile phone.

▼ Silicon technology has so far obeyed the downscaling trend predicted by Moore’s Law. However, as device dimensions and power supply downscale, transistors and node capacitors store less charge, making memory devices and logic gates more prone to noise fluctuations. Although much research has been conducted on various technology-dependent sources of noise relevant to today’s devices, less attention has been paid to the fundamental thermal and shot noise that may upset ultimately scaled transistors a decade from now. The reduced noise margins, as well as the 60 mV/decade subthreshold slope limit of field-effect transistors, threaten to bring power supply voltage scaling and hence the miniaturization of silicon technology to a halt shortly after 2020. In this dissertation, the thermal and shot noise aspects of device reliability are addressed by presenting a novel formalism, based on Markov queuing theory. The effect of these noise sources on the behavior of both existing fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) transistors and ultimately downscaled devices are considered both in the low-power subthreshold regime, where the noise obeys Poissonian statistics, and the more widely-used above-threshold regime, where more complex statistical distributions are required. The effects of various parameters such as the power supply and threshold voltage, threshold voltage variation, temperature and transistor size on device reliability are studied within the proposed formalism. Our approach permits the prediction of error rates for ultimately scaled transistors, whose characteristics can be estimated via nonequilibrium Green's function formalism. Further, in collaboration with Vanderbilt University, the error rate calculations are extended to the radiation-induced single event upsets and the first steps toward experimental validation of the proposed framework using low-power FD-SOI technology developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory are described. Finally, a class of alternative silicon technology-compatible devices aimed at overcoming the 60 mV/decade subthreshold limit is investigated based on germanium and silicon-germanium tunneling transistors. Simulations are used to validate a SiGe heteronanowire structure that combines high current drive with a sharper subthreshold swing in support of a current experimental collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory.

▼ The purpose of this project is to modify, validate, and gather preliminary clinical data on a novel ankle stiffness device that measures stiffness (torque / degree) and range of motion (ROM) of the ankle joint complex (AJC). The initial device was designed by a mechanical engineering design group at Louisiana State University in 2006, but had not been tested on human participants. Clinical evaluation of the ankle joint is important in patients afflicted with diabetes mellitus, Hansen’s disease, or peripheral neuropathies. The combination of peripheral neuropathies, decreased ankle range of motion, and increased stiffness pose a threat to these patients, and often plays a significant role in ulcerations and other pathologies of the foot. Using instrumentation, the data gathered from the device was validated to ensure accurate ankle parameter measurements. Testing of normal participants and participants with one previously injured ankle was then undertaken. Injured participants had normal sensation with one non-injured and one previously injured ankle and were used as their own control. Testing (typically 45-60 minutes) involved securing the participant’s ankle in the device, and measuring the torque as the ankle was passively rotated through the participant’s ROM, in both plantarflexion and dorsiflexion. Torque versus Range of Motion (TROM) curves were mathematically fit using regression analysis and analyzed to assess differences between injured and uninjured ankles. TROM curves were compared based on the average torque, angular velocity, dorsiflexion and plantarflexion slopes, and the hysteresis in the functional range of motion of ankle rotation. Significant difference, at a α = 0.05, was not found in these parameters across all ankles including healthy, injured (normal), and injured. However, significance was found between the unstretched and stretched treatment across the all groups at an α = 0.05 in average torque (unstreched: 148.13 ± 4.78 in*lb and stretched: 143.73 ± 4.78 in*lb, p = 0.0442) and dorsiflexion slope (unstreched: 3.18 ± 0.21 in*lb/deg and stretched: 2.70 ± 0.21 in*lb/deg, p = 0.0006). The result of this study validate that the device can determine biomechanical properties of the AJC, and could be utilized in a clinical environment.

▼ Scanning Probe Lithography (SPL) is a versatile nanofabrication platform that leverages microfluidic ?ink? delivery systems with Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) for generating surface-patterned chemical functionality on the sub-100 nm length scale. One of the prolific SPL techniques is Dip Pen Nanolithography? (DPN?). High resolution, multiplexed registration and parallel direct-write capabilities make DPN (and other SPL techniques) a power tool for applications that are envisioned in micro/nano-electronics, molecular electronics, catalysis, cryptography (brand protection), combinatorial synthesis (nano-materials discovery and characterization), biological recognition, genomics, and proteomics. One of the greatest challenges for the successful performance of the DPN process is the delivery of multiple inks to the scanning probe tips for nano-patterning. The purpose of the present work is to fabricate a microfluidic ink delivery device (called ?Centiwell?) for DPN (and other SPL) applications. The device described in this study maximizes the number of chemical species (inks) for nanofabrication that can be patterned simultaneously by DPN to conform the industrial standards for fluid handling for biochemical assays (e.g., genomic and proteomic). Alternate applications of Centiwell are also feasible for the various envisioned applications of DPN (and other SPL techniques) that were listed above. The Centiwell consists of a two-dimensional array of 96 microwells that are bulk micromachined on a silicon substrate. A thermoelectric module is attached to the back side of the silicon substrate and is used to cool the silicon substrate to temperatures below the dew point. By reducing the temperature of the substrate to below the dew point, water droplets are condensed in the microwell array. Microbeads of a hygroscopic material (e.g., poly-ethylene glycol) are dispensed into the microwells to prevent evaporation of the condensed water. Furthermore, since poly-ethylene glycol (PEG) is water soluble, it forms a solution inside the microwells which is subsequently used as the ink for the DPN process. The delivery of the ink to the scanning probe tip is performed by dipping the tip (or multiple tips in an array) into the microwells containing the PEG solution. This thesis describes the various development steps for the Centiwell. These steps include the mask design, the bulk micromachining processes explored for the micro-fabrication of the microwell array, the thermal design calculations performed for the selection of the commercially available thermoelectric coolers, the techniques explored for the synthesis of the PEG microbeads, and the assembly of all the components for integration into a functional Centiwell. Finally, the successful implementation of the Centiwell for nanolithography of PEG solutions is also demonstrated.

▼ Mobile phones, tablet computers, laptops, desktops, and large screen displays are increasingly available to individuals for information access, often simultaneously. Dominant content access protocols, such as HTTP/1.1, do not take advantage of this device multiplicity and support information access from single devices only. Changing devices means restarting an information session. Using devices in conjunction with each other poses several challenges, which include the presentation of content on devices with diverse form factors and propagation of the content changes across these devices. In this dissertation, I report on the design and implementation of MIDAS - architecture and a prototype system for multi-device presentations. I propose a framework, called 12C, for characterizing multi-device systems and evaluate MIDAS within this framework. MIDAS is designed as a middleware that can work with multiple client-server architectures, such as the Web and context-aware Trellis, a non-Web hypertext system. It presents information content simultaneously on devices with diverse characteristics without requiring sensor-enhanced environments. The system adapts content elements for optimal presentation on the target device while also striving to retain fidelity with the original form from a human perceptual perspective. MIDAS reconfigures its presentation in response to user actions, availability of devices, and environmental context, such as a user's location or the time of day. I conducted a pilot study that explored human perception of similarity when image attributes such as size and color depth are modified in the process of presenting images on different devices. The results indicated that users tend to prefer scaling of images to color-depth reduction but gray scaling of images is preferable to either modification. Not all images scale equally gracefully; those dominated by natural elements or manmade structures scale exceptionally well. Images that depict recognizable human faces or textual elements should be scaled only to an extent that these features retain their integrity. Attributes of the 12C framework describe aspects of multi-device systems that include infrastructure, presentation, interaction, interface, and security. Based on these criteria, MIDAS is a flexible infrastructure, which lends itself to several content distribution and interaction strategies by separating client- and server-side configuration.

Purpose This doctoral thesis was designed to investigate the incidence of arterial embolization using a peripheral protection filter device in a series of patients undergoing percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy for the management of thrombosed hemodialysis arteriovenous grafts (AVGs). In addition, utility of this protection filters can be shown as well as the sort and long term results of the intervention in relation to various clinical, pathology and interventional parameters. Methods This prospective, single-center study included all eligible patients presenting during an 18-month period to undergo AVG percutaneous thrombectomy. Inclusion criteria was a recently thrombosed AVG with 2 cm of artery before the next arterial branching. Primary endpoint was the incidence of distal arterial macro- and microembolization determined by both digital subtraction angiography and histopathological analysis of the material collected. Secondary endpoints included quantitative measurements of the specimens using a 0+ (minimal) to 3+ (maximum load) score.Results In total, 42 patients met the study’s inclusion criteria. No procedure-related complications or angiographically evident arterial embolization were noted. Macroscopically evident material was present in 47.6 % (20/42 filters). Histopathology demonstrated that the embolic material was primary consisted of fibrin conglomerates and platelets (median score: 1.5, confidence interval: 1.0–3.0), whereas inflammatory cells, trapped erythrocytes, extracellular matrix, cholesterol clefts, foam cells, necrotic core, and smooth muscle cells also were detected. Mean total area of embolic material was 5.04 mm2 (range 0.05–5.21). The mean major axis of the largest particle was 1.83 mm (range 0.29–6.64), whereas 19 % (8/42) contained particles with major axis >1 mm and 12 % (5/42) with major axis >3 mm.Conclusions Utilization of protective filters is safe. In addition, the percentage of arterial micro-embolization was significantly higher than previously reported. However, the detrimental, long-term, clinical relevance remains to be determined.

▼ Standard endovascular treatment of intracranial saccular aneurysms has been shown to be an effective treatment method, but it remains marked by aneurysm recanalization despite continued development of new device technologies. Polyurethane-based shape memory polymer (SMP) foams are advantageous biomaterials for endovascular embolization applications, however previously developed devices utilizing SMP foam for neurovascular embolization treatment were limited by required catheter sizes, insufficient flexibility and radiopacity, and inconsistent device stability within the aneurysm sac. Solvent-stimulated actuation of hydrophobic SMP foams using DMSO and EtOH was shown to be an effective alternative shape memory trigger to direct heating. Dramatic decreases in Tg were observed with exposure to water, DMSO, and EtOH. Rapid shape recovery and volume swelling were observed for SMP foams in high concentrations of both DMSO and EtOH, as well as in decreased concentrations of EtOH. A SMP foam-over-wire (FOW) neurovascular embolization device was evaluated using in vitro and in vivo saccular aneurysm models as an initial prototype design. In vivo porcine aneurysms were successfully occluded using FOW devices with theoretical volume occlusion values greater than reported values for predicate devices and rapid, stable thrombus formation. FOW devices were successful in treating sidewall aneurysm models, though the study suggested a need to improve the deliverability and radiopacity of the devices and to evaluate the occlusion effectiveness in more clinically relevant aneurysm geometries. A SMP foam-coated coil (FCC) embolization device was designed and demonstrated clinician-familiar deliverability and use combined with large packing density and scaffolding capability of porous SMP foam. Excellent cytocompatibility is a promising early result in showing biocompatibility. FCC devices exhibited smooth delivery, but difficult packing in both benchtop and rabbit elastase aneurysm models highlights the need to improving device stiffness. However, though packing in rabbit aneurysms was poor, the tissue response suggests a desired healing process and a promising indication that the more effectively packed FCC devices will prompt stable, long-term tissue healing. Overall, the device designed through this work demonstrates excellent potential for improving long-term clinical outcomes for patients with intracranial saccular aneurysms, whether ruptured or unruptured.

▼ The microbial contamination of biomedical devices is a leading cause of hospital- acquired infection. A number of strategies aimed at developing device coatings that are refractory to microbial adhesion, colonisation and biofilm formation have been developed, but the problem remains. The incorporation of biocides into biomedical device surface coatings has shown promising results in preventing the establishment of infection. Current controversy over the possibility that extensive use of biocides could potentially lead to antimicrobial resistance has fuelled the search for new actives with good antimicrobial activity and low cytotoxicity, that maintain marked efficacy after prolonged use. This doctoral thesis aims to evaluate the antimicrobial potential of a novel peptide based on human apolipoprotein E receptor binding region (apoEdpL-W). The spectrum of antimicrobial activity and anti-biofilm efficacy of apoEdpL-W was compared to that of common biocides polyhexamethylene biguanide, triclosan, cetrimide and chlorhexidine. The potential to induce bacterial insusceptibility towards these agents after long-term sub-lethal level exposure was assessed. Initial examination against 18 test microorganisms, commonly associated with device infection, showed that apoEdpL-W displayed broad-range antimicrobial and anti-biofilm efficacy. ApoEdpL-W also maintained marked antibacterial activity after incorporation onto various biomaterial polymers, often used in device surface coatings. Alterations in bacterial susceptibility after prolonged exposure to apoEdpL-W, as well as to the other biocides, were often temporary and partially reverted once the bacteria had been grown in the absence of the antimicrobial agent. The adaption of Staphylococcus aureus to the presence of triclosan resulted in the formation of small colony variants (SVCs) with reduced triclosan susceptibility. Analysis of the physiological characteristics of the triclosan induced SCVs revealed the loss of virulence determinants and potentially reduced pathogenic capability, when compared to the parent strain. The biocompatibility index values of the test actives were determined by the parallel assessment of their antibacterial activity and in vitro cytotoxicity. ApoEdpL-W showed good antibacterial efficacy whilst remaining relatively less toxic to mammalian cells than triclosan or chlorhexidine. We studied the interactions of the test antimicrobials with a preformed phospholipid bilayer using the quartz crystal microbalance device and dual polarisation interferometry, to better understand potential mode of action. Analysis revealed that ApoEdpL-W and PHMB induced the highest level of bilayer disruption, of all the antimicrobials tested. These data suggest that apoEdpL-W demonstrates antibacterial activity; biocompatibility and long-term efficacy on a level that compares favourably to that of currently used biocides. The peptide demonstrates good antimicrobial efficacy when incorporated into a range of biomaterial polymers and shows the potential to be developed as an… Advisors/Committee Members: MCBAIN, ANDREW AJ, Dobson, Curtis, Mcbain, Andrew.

▼ Data to understand the inventiveness and technology transfer process for medical devices in India is lacking and majority of medical devices are imported. The presence of a medical school in a university system is expected to enhance healthcare inventiveness. Universities with medical schools have 2.5 times more R&D expenditure and productivity than universities without medical schools. Therefore, the presence or absence of medical schools in universities serves as interesting samples for technology transfer analysis. This thesis focuses on medical device inventiveness and technology transfer office efficiencies of American universities. Three sample sets are used. The first is data from 1242 US universities, of which 734 had medical schools, and their Technology Transfer Office (TTO) productivity from years 1999-2008. The second consisted of 5693 medical device patents filed at USPTO by universities worldwide during years 1999-2008, including US universities. The third consisted of 32 cochlear implant university based patents from 7 primary patent classes in USPTO. Universities involved in medical device research (MDU) and universities not involved in medical device research (NMDU) are compared in our study to understand differences in their technology transfer activities. Initially, Social network analysis is used to understand the interrelatedness of technologies in university based research using patent classes. Degree, betweenness and closeness centrality of 32 cochlear implant patents (out of 345 overall filed patents in USPTO including corporate filings), showed the importance of universities’ R&D contribution to the overall evolution of cochlear implant technology. Dynamics in terms of emergence and disappearance of technologies (represented by US patent classes in years 1977 to 2012), are identified. Our study highlights that universities' research focus within medical device research is confined to few technology classes like surgery, drugs and body treating compositions for therapeutic purposes and image analysis. In these technology areas, universities share of patent holding is found to be more compared to other medical device technologies. Multivariate OLS and binary logistic regressions are used to understand university characteristics that influences amount of patenting by universities. Our study attempts to delineate and highlight university characteristics that may influence amount of patenting in general, i.e., across all technologies and specifically those university characteristics that may influence more patenting in medical device technologies. Our study establishes that university characteristic variables like age, public/private ownership and research productivity influences amount of patenting by universities in general, across all technologies. However, additional university characteristics like presence of medical school and expenditure on legal fees are found influencing amount of patenting in medical device technologies by universities. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used in our… Advisors/Committee Members: Ramachandran, Parthasarathy.

▼ Research on the pragmatic device like has primarily focused on like as a quotative. The overall distribution of like has received comparatively little attention. Particularly lacking are accounts which show how like may vary for a speaker in different situations or contexts. This study addresses this gap by testing the effects of speaker gender, addressee gender and familiarity on the frequency of like. This study is based on 24 20-minute dyadic conversations, 12 of which occurred between friends, and 12 between strangers. The dyads were split evenly between female-female, female-male and male-male pairings. The recordings were transcribed and coded according to a system based on Terraschke (2008). The data was then analysed using mixed effects logistic regression. The results for discourse marker like showed a significant interaction between familiarity and gender relation. When participants were friends with their addressee, they were more likely to use “quotative”, “subjective stance” and “hesitation” like if their addressee was of the same gender. In the unfamiliar data, both males and females were more likely to use quotative like and subjective stance like when speaking to a female addressee. “Discourse link” like was more likely to occur in the male-male dyads. “Cut-off” like was more likely to occur between friends, and females were more likely to use it when speaking to males. Audience design (Bell, 1984), social identity theory (see Meyerhoff, 1996) and observations on the communicative preferences of men and women (Coates, 2004) are used to account for these results. It is argued that because quotative like and discourse link like are used to structure discourse, or have a textual function, they are better explained by the communicative preferences of men and women. Subjective stance like and hesitation like are better accounted for using audience design and social identity theory because of their interactional function.

The token is used in different places, at small events it is possible to break the tokens of the string manually and sell them, but once the numbers of visitors increase, as is the case on a major event such as Lowlands or Sensation, this can be automated. For instance by using one of the three machines Dutchband has developed. Pin dispenser Cash dispenser Hand dispenser All machines work with the same principle to dispense the tokens. Inside these machines, the rolls of tokens are mounted, unrolled and broken off automatically. For the hand version there is a person sitting in a booth takes care of the payment and manages the machine with a few buttons. To create an even faster and cheaper service, the pin and cash machine do this fully automatically, reducing cost of labour. Currently the machines can only dispense tokens in a multitude of five or four tokens. Since the cash machine only accepts standard euro bills there is a problem with payment for certain token rates. To solve this problem the cash machines needs to become more flexible and able to provide every amount of tokens instead of the multitude of 5. This makes possible to remain using the machine in the future. The product developed in this graduation project is created to cut the tokens in multitudes of one token. The main problem was divided into three sub problems Separating; the physical separation of the tokens from the string, this resulted in a specially designed cutting devices which bends and cuts the token Propulsion; unrolling the string to the correct amount of tokens and feeding it in to the machine so it can be broken off, this resulted in a new system, to count the tokens as they pass and check how many tokens are still in stock. Aligning; crucial in dispensing the tokens without unwanted damage, this resulted in a new approach to correct errors in aligning, by comparing the length of the individual tokens, travelled distance by the token string and actual distance from sensor to break line and correcting accordingly. After the three main problems had been developed into three different concepts they are combined into a full functioning prototype to demonstrate its ability to cut tokens, which provided a satisfactory result.

▼ This master thesis shows the development and design of an intrauterine insemination (IUI) device. The graduation project is done by order of the VU medical university in Amsterdam. IUI is a treatment for couples that have problems with their fertility and is conducted by IVF-doctors. Basically the procedure contains the following steps: • Drug treatment, when applicable • Semen collection and preparation • Insemination of the semen via a syringe-catheter combination • Pregnancy test The insemination itself is a non-automated process, with a human factor involved. It appears that every IVF-doctor has her/his own velocity of injection of the semen into the uterus. The injection is not the only step with a human factor, but does seem to be the most important one that can be improved. The main challenge is that a device needs to be developed that controls the step of injection, but with variable velocities and therefore variable flow rates. The device should make it possible to standardize and control the IUI-procedure. The control occurs in different levels. Control has to do with the ability of the user to stabilize the device during the injection. Also, it has to with the technique/driving mechanism used to create a constant force output and therefore a constant velocity output of the syringe. The three injection velocities are 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 [mm/sec]. The forces that are needed to create these velocities are 0.5, 0.8 and 1.1 [N] respectively. These numbers are based on experimental data and calculations through Bernoulli’s equation. Each force output has a range of minus 0.15 and plus 0.15 [N]. The starting point for the design phases was the search for a driving mechanism that can create the different velocities as mentioned above. Different solutions have been taken into: • Air pressure • Magnetic repulsion • Spring • Constant force spring When looking at the force output, only the ‘constant force spring’ fits inside the range. So this mechanism seems to be the best solution for the IUI device. The force output of the constant force spring depends on the material, thickness and the width. Basically, the manufacturer determines the force output of these springs and it’s not possible to choose the force output that fits inside the required range. Instead, a higher force output is chosen. The idea is to put the constant force spring inside a piston. This piston comes with o-rings that glide inside a tube. By making use of the friction of the rubber inside the hole of the tube, the force output can be controlled. When the diameter of this hole is reduced, then a higher load is applied to the rubber, resulting in a higher friction. By changing the diameter, three force outputs can be created. The device has two major functions: • Locking and unlocking of the piston • Attaching of the syringe Based on these functions, several solutions are presented. One of the solutions are chosen, which is done by the use of the Harris profile. Advisors/Committee Members: Spitas, C., Langeveld, L.H..
