Regulation of complex adaptive digital systems: optimizing competition and consumer welfare outcomes in Nigeria's converging telecommunications market by Onuoha, Raymond

“…The thesis explores how emerging digital ecosystems would benefit from new regulatory approaches that differ from the traditional models applied in the telecommunications sector. The historical model is typically based on an analysis of static efficiency, which does not appropriately acknowledge the often complementary nature of the evolving digital ecosystem and its dynamic efficiencies. …”

Computational modelling of hydrogel therapies by Ahmed, Sadman Sakib

“…A methodology is presented for characterizing the gelation of PEG from existing rheology data. A material model is developed for gelation by using a time-dependent viscosity model that is implemented numerically in Ansys Polyflow. …”

Stochastic models in experimental economics by Monroe, Brian Albert

“…These vary from developing new theoretical models, models that nest EUT as a special case, such as Rank Dependent Utility (RDU) and Regret Theory, as well as models that do not nest EUT, such as Cumulative Prospect Theory, to critiques of experimental methods and scope, to the promotion of stochastic models of choice. …”

Risk-return portfolio modelling by Gilbert, Emmeleen Ulita

“…The Troskie-Hossain innovation to the Sharpe Index model relaxes this assumption. We evaluate the Troskie-Hossain model relative to the Sharpe Index Model and Markowitz portfolio, and find that the Troskie-Hossain model approximates the Markowitz efficient frontier and optimal portfolio very closely. …”

Developments in anaerobic digestion modelling by Ghoor, Tasneem

“…Without adequate modelling of AD dynamics, the AD model cannot be used to model digester start-up, digester failure or even upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) reactors (which have temporary failure conditions at the bottom of the bed). …”

Modelling hepatotoxicity in HIV/TB co-infected patients: extensions of the Cox Proportional Hazards Model by Mlotshwa, Vintia Philile

“…Since the Cox regression model utilized data up to the first occurrence of hepatotoxicity, in some instances, the time-varying treatment effect based on the Cox regression model was closer to unity and marginally significant. …”
