▼ Utilities of distribution systems now are under the pressure of improving the reliability of power supply, not only from the urge to increase revenue, but also from requirements of their customers and the Independent Service Organization (ISO)???s regulation on power quality. Optimization in fault management tasks has the potential of improving system reliability by reducing the duration and scale of outages caused by faults through fast fault isolation and service restoration. The research reported by this dissertation aims at improving distribution system reliability through optimized fault management. Three questions are explored and answered: 1) how to establish the cause-and-effect relationship between fault management and system reliability; 2) how can individual fault management tasks benefit from the newly emerged smart grid technologies; and 3) how to improve the overall performance of fault management under new operation condition. Optimization of the fault management is done through minimizing a risk function representing system reliability. The improvement in system reliability is approached in following steps: 1) a risk function consists of distribution reliability indices is defined as the criterion for system reliability; 2) a new fault location method is proposed first that can accurately locate the faults with the assistance of voltage-sag-measurements from system-wide Intelligent Electronics Devices (IEDs); 3) the fault management task of field inspection is optimized using the risk function and the probability model of the true fault location established using results from fault location; 4) the decision making on the execution of during-fault service restoration is optimized through Monte Carlo simulation; 5) the optimized fault management is utilized in processing the faults and the improvement in system reliability is assessed by reduction of costs associated with these faults. The proposed optimization is demonstrated on a realistic distribution system. The stochastic model of faults in the system is built with consideration of normal and extreme weather conditions. Results show that the proposed optimization is capable of improving system reliability by reducing the mean and variance of outage cost calculated over the simulated years.

▼ Cette thèse est composée de trois essaies portant sur l'analyse empirique de la grande distribution et le comportement d'achat des consommateurs. Le premier chapitre est dédié à l'étude des programmes de fidélité des supermarchés et leur impact sur la demande de marques de distributeur (MDD). Souvent les supermarchés lient les avantages fidélité à l'achat en marques de distributeurs, quelles sont les motivations des supermarchés à faire cela? C'est la question que cette étude cherche à répondre d'un point de vue empirique. Je travaille sur des données extraites d'un panel représentatif des consommateurs concernant les achats des ménages français, et l'utilisation d'une méthode structurelle d'estimation de demande. Les résultats sont conformes aux faits: les MDD sont des produits moins préférés vis-à-vis les marques nationales (MN) de même qualité. Cependant, la carte fidélité a, en effet, un impact positif sur le choix du consommateur: ceux qui portent une carte fidélité ont une probabilité supérieure de choisir des MDD que ceux qui ne l'ont pas. Par ailleurs, l'impact d'un programme de fidélité sur la demande des MDD est moins important chez les détenteurs de plusieurs cartes. Le deuxième chapitre, co-écrit avec Daniel Herrera Araujo, vise à mesurer les coûts d'achat des consommateurs à partir des données de panel concernant les achats des ménages en France. Quand l'analyse économique tient compte des coûts d'achat, que rationalisent l'hétérogénéité observée en nombre des enseignes visitées par les consommateurs, les conclusions de politique publique peuvent changer remarquablement. Nous identifions les coûts d'achat du consommateur dans le cadre d'un modèle structurel de demande en plusieurs enseignes ainsi qu'en plusieurs produits, qui lie le choix optimale du nombre de supermarchés à visiter (un seule ou plusieurs) aux coûts d'achat. Nous estimons les paramètres du modèle et mesurons le coût d'achat total moyen en 18,7 € par enseigne visitée. Deux quantités y sont comprises: le coût fixe moyen, 1,53 € et le coût de transport moyen 17,1 € par visite. Le troisième chapitre porte sur l'analyse empirique du rôle des tarifs binômes et la fixation du prix de vente (RPM, d'après l'expression anglo-saxonne Resale Price Maintenance) dans la stabilité des prix de vente. Il est largement reconnu dans la littérature économique que la transmission incomplète des chocs de coûts aux prix de vente est expliquée par l'ajustement des marges ainsi que les coûts d'ajustement des prix. Les relations entre fournisseurs et distributeurs et le RPM peuvent renforcer la rigidité des prix. Je présente un modèle structurel de relations verticales dont des tarifs binômes peuvent être adoptées ainsi que le RPM. Ce modèle tient compte de la rigidité des prix de vente à travers des coûts fixes d'ajustement des prix qui sont ajoutés au profit du détaillant. En utilisant des données concernant les ventes de marques de céréales pour le petit déjeuner dans une grande chaîne des supermarchés au Chicago, j'estime la demande, récupère les marges et… Advisors/Committee Members: Dubois, Pierre (thesis director), Jullien, Bruno (thesis director).

▼ From a comparative international perspective, this dissertation explores the spatial distributions of population and employment in the Beijing metropolitan area in the post-reform era. This study aims to extend the literature on urban spatial structure, with special reference to the pattern and process of urban decentralization and restructuring from a developing and transitional economy context, and to offer further understanding of the spatial organization of contemporary urban areas that departs from the North American or European experience.; Beijing is a transition city that has experienced dramatic urban growth and spatial restructuring since the reforms in China, and its experience sheds light on how the urban spatial structure changes within a hybrid of an evolving market economy with a central government that retains significant control. This study focuses on the distribution patterns of population and employment in metropolitan Beijing, and employs more flexible techniques, such as nonparametric analysis, geostatistical techniques and demonstrates more nuanced dynamics than those discussed in previous studies.; Our study finds that the spatial pattern of the Beijing metropolitan area is becoming alike to that of large Western cities in the post-reform era, with the compact urban form in the pre-reform era replaced by a more dispersed and polycentric spatial pattern. The overall trend toward the decentralization and polycentrification of both population and employment is evident in the Beijing metropolitan area since the reforms. However, compared with the decentralization of large Western metropolitan areas, the extent of the decentralization of metropolitan Beijing is quite limited. We show that both people and jobs that moved out of the inner city tend to re-concentrate in the near suburbs adjacent to the central area instead of dispersing throughout the metropolitan area. The rapid growth of the near suburbs has expedited the expansion of the central city, with a larger central agglomeration emerged dominating the whole metropolitan area. In this broad sense, the spatial pattern of the Beijing metropolitan area is still highly centralized, and the tendency toward decentralization at the level of the metropolitan area is questionable. Besides, although both people and jobs have decentralized in the Beijing metropolitan area, jobs tend to more concentrate in the central city, and employment has been shown to be less decentralized than population.; Even though the spatial structure of Beijing is largely characterized by monocentricity, our study does provide the evidence that significant population and employment subcenters have emerged in the suburbs of Beijing. However, the number and size of subcenters are small, and the pattern of the subcenters in metropolitan Beijing is highly related to the planned development scheme of the city, so the polycentricity emerged in the Beijing metropolitan area is very different by nature from that observed in Western cities, and has different origins.

L’intensification des pratiques agricoles de ces dernières décennies a engendré des modifications profondes des écosystèmes agricoles. Les oiseaux prairiaux sont particulièrement concernés par ces changements et ont fortement décliné. La mise en place de Mesures Agro-Environnementales (MAE) n’ont pas permis d’enrayer ce déclin et une évaluation de leur efficacité passe au préalable par une compréhension affinée des réponses écologiques des espèces dans l’écosystème considéré. Nous avons ainsi tenté de mieux comprendre la distribution et la sélection d’habitat des oiseaux prairiaux dans les plaines d’inondation du bassin de la Loire dans l’ouest de la France. Cette étude visait à construire et à tester à l’échelle de la zone d’étude des prédicteurs environnementaux pertinents d’humidité, de climat, de végétation et de paysage. Il a ainsi été possible d’établir la réponse des espèces à ces prédicteurs et de construire des modèles de distribution locaux. Cette étude a permis de confirmer le rôle structurant du gradient d’humidité pour les populations d’oiseaux prairiaux en plaine alluviale. Ce gradient conditionne la qualité de l’habitat pour ces espèces en contrôlant notamment la végétation présente. Il contrôle en outre la phénologie des fauches qui est le facteur-clé dont dépend le succès reproducteur. Enfin, il est largement déterminé par la susceptibilité à l’inondation, qui peut affecter la distribution lorsqu’elle intervient au printemps induisant ainsi un découplage spatial entre les MAE et la distribution des espèces prairiales en milieu alluvial. Nous avons également mis en évidence l’évitement par les oiseaux prairiaux du bocage qui concentre par ailleurs des enjeux importants de conservation de la biodiversité. Enfin, nous avons utilisé les prédicteurs environnementaux pour modéliser la distribution des oiseaux prairiaux lesquels mettent en évidence des différences d’utilisation de l’habitat prairial entre les espèces. Ces résultats mettent en avant la nécessité de redéfinir les priorités de conservation à l’échelle du paysage. Ils pourraient également être pris en considération pour améliorer l’efficacité des MAE.

The intensification of agricultural practices in the last decades profoundly changed agricultural ecosystems. Grassland birds are particularly affected by these changes and have been declining sharply. The implementation of Agro-Environmental Schemes (AES) failed to halt this decline. Assessing their effectiveness requires a better understanding of the ecological responses of species in the ecosystem. We attempted to quantify and analyze the distribution and habitat selection of grassland birds in the floodplains of the Loire basin in Western France. This study aimed at building and testing relevant environmental predictors of moisture, climate, vegetation and landscape. Then, we established species response to these predictors and built local distribution models. This study confirmed the prominent rôle of moisture gradient for grassland bird populations in floodplains. The location on the…

Le concept de quasi-espèce, introduit par Manfred Eigen dans les années 70, décrit l'état d'équilibre d'une population subissant des forces de mutation et sélection. La plupart des modèles classiques présentant un phénomène de quasi-espèce sont déterministes et considèrent une population de taille infinie. L'objectif de cette thèse est d'étudier plusieurs modèles stochastiques, dont la taille de la population est finie, afin de montrer que le phénomène de la quasi – espèce est aussi présent dans ces modèles comme dans le modèles déterministes. Nous étudions en détail les modèles de Galton-Watson, Wright-Fisher et Moran. Nous confirmons que les trois modèles présentent un phénomène de quasi – espèce, et que la distribution de la quasi – espèce est la même pour les trois modèles, ainsi que pour le modèle original d'Eigen. De plus, nous décrivons explicitement la distribution de cette quasi – espèce pour le paysage de fitness à un pic, ainsi que pour des fonctions de fitness qui ne dépendent que de la distance de Hamming à la master sequence.

Manfred Eigen introduced the concept of quasispecies in the early 70s, in order to describe the steady – state distribution of a population subject to mutation and selection forces. Most classical models showing a quasispecies phenomenon are deterministic and deal with a population of an infinite size. The aim of this thesis is to study several stochastic and finite – population models, and to show that a quasispecies phenomenon arises in these models too. We study in detail the Galton – Watson, Wright – Fisher and Moran models. We confirm that a quasispecies phenomenon is present in the three models, and that the distribution of this quasispecies is common to all three models as well as to Eigen's original model. Moreover, we describe explicitly the distributionof the quasispecies for the sharp peak landscape, as well as for fitness functions which depend only on the Hamming distance to the master sequence.

▼ This thesis explores the links between film cultures and film distribution.What happens to film culture when a film is passed between friends on a USB, or downloaded from a cyberlocker, or purchased on a copied DVD at a local grocery store? Beyond the cinema and the major commercial players of the formal sector, film now lives in a multiplex of different access points, from iTunes downloads, legal BitTorrent releases, host-your-own community screenings and free YouTube streams. New forms of distribution beyond the dominant commercial players are not just restructuring the film industry, they are presenting theoretical challenges to film scholars. As disruptions and innovations in the industry, these trends speak to the research questions: How to conceptualise new forms of distribution not previously subjected to scholarly analysis? How do audiences in Australia access film today? How does the distribution of a film influence the terms of its use and reception by audiences?This thesis takes a multi-method path to interrogate the cultural-economic exchanges within the distribution screenscape and a diversity of distribution circuits. Case studies include Australia’s formal distribution sector, Sydney Film Festival analysed as a distributor and new and disruptive digital circuits such as the BitTorrent Now e-store.Combining industrial analysis, interviews with distributors and ethnographic observation, this thesis contributes to new knowledge in three major ways. First, throughout film studies, distribution has been primarily analysed as an industrial phenomenon. I attune distribution research to the phenomenon of film culture, showing how distribution and exhibition play into the contingent life of film culture. Second, I expose emerging forms of distribution to scholarly examination, namely cinema-on-demand, crowdfunding and e-stores that legally use file-sharing technologies to the advantage of film producers. Third, the thesis develops a new conceptualisation of distribution, moving from the historically dominant commercial conceptualisation of distribution – the sale of films through various platforms, territories and ancillary markets – to a view of distribution as the means of a film’s arrival in a distribution screenscape dominated by informal and ancillary circuits.

Counting data without zero category often occur in various _elds. Examples include days of hospital stay for patients, numbers of publication for tenure-tracked faculty in a university, numbers of tra_c violation for drivers during a certain period and so on. A class of zero-truncated discrete models such as zero-truncated Poisson, zero-truncated binomial and zero-truncated negative-binomial distributions are proposed in literature to model such count data. In this thesis, firstly, literature review is presented in Chapter 1 on a class of commonly used univariate zero-truncated discrete distributions. In Chapter 2, a unified method is proposed to derive the distribution of the sum of i.i.d. zero-truncated distribution random variables, which has important applications in the construction of the shortest Clopper-Person confidence intervals of parameters of interest and in the calculation of the exact p-value of a two-sided test for small sample sizes in one sample problem. These problems are discussed in Section 2.4. Then a novel expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is developed for calculating the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of parameters in general zero-truncated discrete distributions. An important feature of the proposed EM algorithm is that the latent variables and the observed variables are independent, which is unusual in general EM-type algorithms. In addition, a unified minorization-maximization (MM) algorithm for obtaining the MLEs of parameters in a class of zero-truncated discrete distributions is provided. The first objective of Chapter 3 is to propose the multivariate zero-truncated Charlier series (ZTCS) distribution by developing its important distributional properties, and providing efficient MLE methods via a novel data augmentation in the framework of the EM algorithm. Since the joint marginal distribution of any r-dimensional sub-vector of the multivariate ZTCS random vector of dimension m is an r-dimensional zero-deated Charlier series (ZDCS) distribution (1 6 r < m), it is the second objective of Chapter 3 to propose a new family of multivariate zero-adjusted Charlier series (ZACS) distributions (including the multivariate ZDCS distribution as a special member) with a more flexible correlation structure by accounting for both inflation and deflation at zero. The corresponding distributional properties are explored and the associated MLE method via EM algorithm is provided for analyzing correlated count data.

▼ The advent of the Internet as a music distribution channel led to significant transformation of the South African music industry at the end of the twentieth century. The Internet and electronic supply chain systems influences customers to migrate from physical product offerings to digital downloading platforms that offer access to digitalised music distribution and quasi-real-time consumption. While technological innovations have enhanced the digital distribution of music online, distribution systems have become a challenge within the supply chain network. This study aims to determine the implications of the paradigm shift in supply chain music distribution from analogue to digital. This research study has five objectives: firstly, to explore the challenges confronting the supply chain transition from analogue to digital music distribution systems; secondly, to examine the distribution operations processes for the digitalisation of music in relation to the effects of global market demand; thirdly, to evaluate the effects of supply chain value adding innovations in influencing digitalised music distribution and consumption in the recording industry; fourthly, to establish the extent of technological viability to which the Diffusion of Innovation theory enhances supply chain distribution competitiveness; and finally to assess the relative magnitude of supply chain competence and capability response to digital supply chain music distribution. The researcher selected an exploratory research design to explore digital music distribution in the South African recording industry. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate statistical analysis techniques are employed to analyse the data collected from 217 musicians. This study reveals several elements arising from the growth of digital music distribution in the Durban region, and makes a scholarly contribution to the promotion of the South African digital music market. The results provides support for: the disintermediation of physical retail stores which are perceived as the driver of digital music distribution; an increase in the number of independent artists and music entrepreneurs; and technologically compatible media devices that encourage more music downloads. The tools provided by the Internet inspire musicians to engage in creative music innovation, thereby creating global competitive standards. The study’s recommendations provides further insight and understanding of the digital music distribution sector. Advisors/Committee Members: Mbhele, Thokozani Patmond. (advisor).

Les relations de distribution sont soumises à différentes contraintes juridiques. Ces contraintes relèvent plus spécialement du droit des contrats et du droit de la concurrence. D'autres matières juridiques, tel le droit du travail ou encore le droit des sociétés, peuvent être concernées. La technique contractuelle permet de répondre et satisfaire à ces contraintes. L'expérience européenne, et en particulier française, a permis de révéler des formules contractuelles identifiables ; il s'agit du contrat de franchise, de concession, de distribution agréée ou sélective et également des contrats de regroupement entre distributeurs. Ces formes particulières d'accords de distribution s'agrègent à des formules plus générales, tel la vente, le mandat, la commission ainsi qu'à des techniques contractuelles tel le contrat-cadre. L'objet de la thèse est d'apprécier la transposition de ces formules de contrats et techniques contractuelles en droit tunisien. L'étude des règles régissant les contrats de la distribution et les rapports entre les différents intervenants, permettra de systématiser un droit de la distribution en Tunisie.

The distribution relationships are subject to various legal obligations and regulations. These obligations rise mainly from contract law and competition law. However, other legal subject matters, such as labor law or corporate law could be involved. The contractual technique allows to meet these obligations. The European experience and more particularly the French one, have allowed to reveal identifiable contractual methods, mostly related to franchising agreements, concession agreements, approved or selective distribution agreements, and consolidation agreements between distributors. These specific distribution agreements aggregates with more general methods such as the sale deeds, the mandates, the commissions in addition to contractual techniques as the master agreement. The subject matter of this thesis is to estimate the transposition of these contractual methods and techniques in Tunisian law. The study and analysis of the rules governing distribution agreements and relationship between the different intervening parties, shall allow to systematize and set standards for distribution law in Tunisia.

▼ The waters off the west coast of Scotland have one of the highest densities of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in Europe. Harbour porpoise are listed under Annex II of the EU Habitats Directive, requiring the designation of Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) for the species’ protection and conservation. The main aim of this thesis is to identify habitat preferences for harbour porpoise, and key regions that embody these preferences, which could therefore be suitable as SACs; and to determine how harbour porpoise use these regions over time and space. Designed visual and acoustic line-transect surveys were conducted between 2003 and 2008. Generalised Estimating Equations (GEEs) were used to determine relationships between the relative density of harbour porpoise and temporally and spatially variable oceanographic covariates. Predictive models showed that depth, slope, distance to land and spring tidal range were all important in explaining porpoise distribution. There were also significant temporal variations in habitat use. However, whilst some variation was observed among years and months, consistent preferences for water depths between 50 and 150 m and highly sloped regions were observed across the temporal models. Predicted surfaces revealed a consistent inshore distribution for the species throughout the west coast of Scotland. Regional models revealed similar habitat preferences to the full-extent models, and indicated that the Small Isles and Sound of Jura were the most consistently important regions for harbour porpoise, and that these regions could be suitable as SACs. The impacts of seal scarers on distribution and habitat use were also investigated, and there were indications that these devices have the potential to displace harbour porpoise. These results should be considered in the assessment of sites for SAC designation, and in implementing appropriate conservation measures for harbour porpoise.

▼ The Janzen-Connell hypothesis proposes that species-specific enemies promote species coexistence through distance- and density-dependent survival of offspring near conspecific adults. I tested this hypothesis experimentally by transplanting juvenile-sized fragments of two species of brooding corals varying distances from conspecific adults, and observationally by assessing the spatial distribution of those two species in the field. Small fragments (as proxies for ?6 month old juveniles) of Pocillopora damicornis and Seriatopora hystrix were transplanted 3, 12, 24 and 182 cm upstream and downstream (relative to the prevailing current) of conspecific adults and their survivorship and condition (bitten off, overgrown by algae, or bleached) checked every 1-2 d. I also characterized the spatial distribution of P. damicornis and S. hystrix within replicated plots on three Fijian reef flats and measured densities of small colonies within 2 m of larger colonies of each species. Contrary to the Janzen-Connell hypothesis, juvenile-sized transplants exhibited no differences in survivorship as a function of distance from adult P. damicornis or S. hystrix and P. damicornis and S. hystrix were aggregated rather than overdispersed on natural reefs. Survival unaffected by distance from focal colonies as well as certain recruitment processes could generate the observed aggregation. I did observe predation of P. damicornis that was spatially patchy and temporally persistent due to feeding by the territorial triggerfish Balistapus undulatus. This patchy predation did not occur for S. hystrix. Thus, I found no support for the Janzen-Connell hypothesis, but did document hot-spots of species-specific corallivory that could create variable selective regimes on an otherwise more uniform environment, and help maintain the high diversity of corals typical of Indo-Pacific reefs.

▼ Design and calibration of spreading equipment for agricultural materials are critically important but is facing some limitations in time and costs. Lack of personnel and environmental constraints, as well as equipment features present challenges in the calibration process and results. The major objective of this project was to introduce and investigate the feasibility of integration of automated electrical equipment into this calibration process in order to optimize the overall procedure in terms of cost, time and precision as an ultimate goal. Specific objectives focused on optical techniques as well as novel accelerometer technology. A photo based method in detection of collected grains based on counting of particles was investigated. Results from tests with three different grain particles showed that the sensor could be used in applications up to 20gr of collected materials in one pass. The sensor could detect multiple particles’ passage at the same time, but was unable to go further than a certain sample weight of 20, 30 and 60 grams for ammonium sulfate, rice and urea respectively while maintaining acceptable precision. In this regard, physical characteristics of the mentioned granular particles were also investigated to better address the importance of physical uniformity in this sensing system. A novel set of sensing plates based on accelerometer technology were introduced and the practicality of the sensors was tested using the standard setup for measurement of spreading patterns. A comparison between the outputs of a set of identical accelerometer plates showed a close estimate of the trend which could be achieved in the same deposition using the traditional dry calibration process. Moreover, the introduced sensor was highly flexible and could be adjusted in various ways in order to better match the application demands. In this regard, the proposed sensor was also tested at 10 and 20 degree angles with respect to the horizon and the results indicated almost twofold improvement in resolution from 595mV/g to 955mV/g at 10 and 20 degrees respectively. This novel accelerometer based technique may be practical for improved automation of calibration techniques.

▼ The Birnbaum-Saunders (BS) distribution is a positively skewed distribution and is a popular model for analyzing lifetime data. In this thesis, we first develop an improved method of estimation for the BS distribution and the corresponding inference. Compared to the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) and the modified moment estimators (MMEs), the proposed method results in estimators with smaller bias, but having the same mean squared errors (MSEs) as these two estimators. Next, the existence and uniqueness of the MLEs of the parameters of BS distribution are discussed based on Type-I, Type-II and hybrid censored samples. In the case of five-parameter bivariate Birnbaum-Saunders (BVBS) distribution, we use the distributional relationship between the bivariate normal and BVBS distributions to propose a simple and efficient method of estimation based on Type-II censored samples. Regression analysis is commonly used in the analysis of life-test data when some covariates are involved. For this reason, we consider the regression problem based on BS and BVBS distributions and develop the associated inferential methods. One may generalize the BS distribution by using Laplace kernel in place of the normal kernel, referred to as the Laplace BS (LBS) distribution, and it is one of the generalized Birnbaum-Saunders (GBS) distributions. Since the LBS distribution has a close relationship with the Laplace distribution, it becomes necessary to first carry out a detailed study of inference for the Laplace distribution before studying the LBS distribution. Several inferential results have been developed in the literature for the Laplace distribution based on complete samples. However, research on Type-II censored samples is somewhat scarce and in fact there is no work on Type-I censoring. For this reason, we first start with MLEs of the location and scale parameters of Laplace distribution based on Type-II and Type-I censored samples. In the case of Type-II censoring, we derive the exact joint and marginal moment generating functions (MGF) of the MLEs. Then, using these expressions, we derive the exact conditional marginal and joint density functions of the MLEs and utilize them to develop exact confidence intervals (CIs) for some life parameters of interest. In the case of Type-I censoring, we first derive explicit expressions for the MLEs of the parameters, and then derive the exact conditional joint and marginal MGFs and use them to derive the exact conditional marginal and joint density functions of the MLEs. These densities are used in turn to develop marginal and joint CIs for some quantities of interest. Finally, we consider the LBS distribution and formally show the different kinds of shapes of the probability density function (PDF) and the hazard function. We then derive the MLEs of the parameters and prove that they always exist and are unique. Next, we propose the MMEs, which can be used as initial values in the numerical computation of the MLEs. We also discuss the interval estimation of… Advisors/Committee Members: Balakrishnan, Narayanaswamy, Mathematics and Statistics.

D.Ing.

This thesis considers water supply and divides the water supply environment into three categories; the macro water supply environment, the water supply scheme and the consumers. Each of the categories is briefly explored in terms of the factors that may influence it. Subsequently, some of the unique features of a bulk water distribution system are dealt with, as well as different approaches related to bulk water distribution system design and assessment. One of these approaches, the probabilistic approach, offers unique features to assess the reliability of a bulk water distribution system but requires that the probabilistic characteristics of the stochastic events be quantified. The above prompted the goal of this thesis; “…to assess and quantify the probabilistic characteristics of selected factors that may compromise bulk water distribution reliability”. The objectives set and dealt with in this thesis are: • Conducting a literature review that explores uncertainty, reliability, models and techniques, highlighting selected factors that may compromise bulk water distribution reliability, as well as bulk water distribution system water requirements. • Quantifying the probabilistic characteristics of water distribution pipeline failures. • Quantifying the probabilistic characteristics of pipeline failures caused by sinkholes in dolomitic areas. • Quantifying the probabilistic characteristics of power supply failures. This study provides a comprehensive summary of a range of uncertainties that may compromise bulk water distribution reliability. However, the greatest value added corresponds to the following: • It establishes a benchmark related to the probabilistic characteristics of pipeline failures for five pipeline material categories, related to pipeline failure rates and pipeline repair times. • A new methodology is developed in terms of which the probabilistic characteristics of pipeline failures caused by sinkholes in dolomitic areas can be quantified. • It provides a benchmark of the probabilistic characteristics of power supply failures at bulk water distribution pump stations. Proposals are made related to future research needs, divided into two categories: • Complementary research needs that will complement and enhance the work undertaken within this thesis. • Promotional research needs that will promote the practical application of the outcomes generated as part of this thesis.

▼ As a first step towards evaluating the influence of oceanographic structure on the survival of larval fishes during the fall, winter and spring months off northern California, I examined the distribution of larval fishes, including larval rockfishes (Sebastes) and zooplankton, in relation to hydrographic structure along a transect extending due west of Trinidad Head, California from April 2006 to April 2007. Dominant taxa included the deep-sea smelts (Bathylagidae), northern lampfish (Stenobrachius leucopsarus), righteye flounders (Pleuronectidae), rockfishes (Sebastes), and slipskin snailfish (Liparis fucensis). Cross-shelf ichthyoplankton diversity patterns reflected adult spawning seasons and locations, and the distribution of coastal and offshore species agreed with ichthyoplankton assemblages identified in previous studies off California and Oregon. Liparids, some pleuronectids, most cottids, and the osmerids were consistently in the coastal assemblage. Sebastes, bathylagids, and myctophids were consistently in the offshore assemblage. These assemblages were relatively persistent across seasons. Although cross-shelf distributions differed among taxa, hydrographic structure appeared to affect distributions of larval fishes. Larval Sebastes were commonly observed at their greatest densities in the vicinity of fronts, while larvae of inshore taxa, including some flatfish, were rarely encountered offshore of fronts. Cross-shelf advection associated with upwelling conditions appeared to drive a general offshore displacement of larval fishes, while cross-shelf advection associated with downwelling caused a nearshore displacement of larvae. Hydrographic structure appeared to affect distributions of potential zooplankton prey throughout the winter and spring, and ichthyoplankton and zooplankton distributions were correlated in April 2007. These results suggest that fronts and related structures might affect larval survival and recruitment success in fishes for which the early life history stages exist in the plankton during the winter and spring, when coastal upwelling is at a seasonal minimum.

▼ In recent years, with the rapid development of electric and electronic technology, the All-Electric Aircraft (AEA) concept has attracted more and more attention, which only utilizes the electric power instead of conventional hydraulic and pneumatic power to supply all the airframe systems. To meet the power requirements under various flight stages and operating conditions, the AEA approach has resulted in the current aircraft electrical power generation capacity up to 1.6 MW. To satisfy the power quality and stability requirements, the advanced power electronic interfaces and more efficient power distribution systems must be investigated. Moreover, with the purpose of taking the full advantages of available electrical power, novel dynamic power distribution management research and design for an AEA must be carried out. The main objective of this thesis is to investigate and develop a methodology of more efficient power distribution management with the purpose of minimizing the rated power generating capacity and the mass of the electrical power system (EPS) including the power generation system and the power distribution system in an AEA. It is important to analyse and compare the subsistent electrical power distribution management approaches in current aircraft. Therefore the electrical power systems of A320 and B777, especially the power management system, will be discussed in this thesis. Most importantly the baseline aircraft, the Flying Crane is the outcome of the group design project. The whole project began in March 2008, and ended in September 2010, including three stages: conceptual design, preliminary design and detailed design. The dynamic power distribution management research is based on the power distribution system of the Flying Crane. The main task of the investigation is to analyse and manage the power usage among and inside typical airframe systems by using dynamic power distribution management method. The characteristics and operation process of these systems will be investigated in detail and thoroughly. By using the method of dynamic power distribution management, all the electrical consumers and sub-systems powered by electricity are managed effectively. The performance of an aircraft can be improved by reducing the peak load requirement on board. Furthermore, the electrical system architecture, distributed power distribution system and the dynamic power distribution management system for AEA are presented. Finally, the mass of the whole electrical power system is estimated and analysed carefully.
