A comparison of socially-motivated discussion forum models for learning management systems by Almukhaylid, Maryam Meshari

“…The design processes led to the creation of a Web-based application called 4DFs, which includes four different discussion forum models. Two of these models are non-social discussion forums: the chat room unstructured model and the traditional general threaded discussion. …”

Investigating excitatory GABAergic signalling & benzodiazepine resistance in an in vitro model of status epilepticus by Burman, Richard J

“…Previous data from in vitro models has demonstrated that during single seizures, instead of being inhibitory, activation of the GABAA receptor can have an excitatory effect on neurons. …”

Assessing the Association between Agile Maturity Model Levels and Perceived Project Success by Henriques, Vaughan

“…This constant improvement, or maturity, is not a concept unique to agile methods and is commonly referred to as a maturity model. The most common of maturity model is the Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI). …”

Thermo-chemo-mechanical modelling of hydropower structures affected by alkali silica reaction by Nyoni, Bukhosi Raphael

“…These models can generally be categorised as either, (i) microstructural models which aim to link the chemical process of the reaction to its impact at material level or (ii) macrostructural models which focus on the structural level assessment of affected concrete structures. …”

Inverse model systems to investigate metal-support interactions in Fischer-Tropsch catalysis by Macheli, Lebohang

“…This thesis aims to gain insight into the effects of metal-support interaction in Co/SiO2 catalysts using an inverse model system by modifying Co3O4 nanocrystallites with silanes (i.e. tetraethoxysilane, trimethyl chlorosilane, triphenyl ethoxysilane). …”

Estimation of Shadow-Rate Term Structure Models Near the Zero-Lower Bound by Esmail, Shabbirhussein

“…Though it is customary to use standard Gaussian term structure models for term structure modelling, this becomes theoretically implausible in cases when nominal interest rates are near zero: Gaussian models can have arbitrarily large negative rates, whereas arbitrage considerations dictate that rates should remain positive (or very slightly negative at most). …”
