Unequal error protection for power line communications over impulsive noise channels by Ali, Osama Senam Mostafa

“…Power line communications suffer from the excessive power lines' impulsive noise (which can be caused by shedding loads on and off). In this thesis, we present a study of power line communications with unequal error protection for two and four data priority levels hierarchical QAM modulation and space-time block coding. …”

Parallel computing solutions to the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation by Hillebrand-Viljoen, Charlotte Stephanie

“…This also allows us to implement test cases which are often neglected. The code presented here covers only the total cross section case, but it is written with extension to more interesting cases in mind and we discuss some such potential applications.…”

Greywater treatment using aquatic filtration for possible reuse in landscape irrigation by Mahmoud, Lana

“…It was also observed that the operation of the treatment system at HLR of 0.29 m3/m2/d results in an effluent organic quality (BOD5 and COD) that complies with the limits reported in the Egyptian Code of Practice for Reuse in Irrigation; Category A (501-2015). …”

A numerical assessment of architectural parameters for anisotropic behavior in idealised trabecular structures by Moore, Keelan

“…To capture the anisotropy, the lattice had to be loaded at arbitrary angles, which was achieved by a rotating the whole lattice and cropping it to a specified test region using custom code. …”
