Access network selection schemes for multiple calls in next generation wireless networks by Orimolade, Joseph Folorunsho

“…The RAT selection method was modeled with constraints on terminal battery power, service cost and network congestion to select a specified number of RATs that optimizes the terminal interface utility. The results obtained show an optimum RAT selection strategy that maximizes the terminal utility and selects the best RAT combinations for user's parallel-streaming for voice, video and file-download.…”

A Novel Design-for-Test flow using LibreLane by Gaber, Mohamed E

“…It investigates various strategies for ordering of a scan chain, comparing the current approaches of ordering a netlist, or a greedy closest-first algorithm, to the decades of work on optimizing the traveling salesman problem. It compares the results across three strategies and two process design kits.…”

The burned child : scarred for life? : a study of the long-term psychosocial adjustment of paediatric burn survivors by Liebowitz, Lesley

“…Paediatric bum injury is a significant social problem in South Africa. Despite the magnitude of the problem and its potentially devastating physical, psychological and social consequences, the plight of bum-injured children in the local context is an unrecognized one, and has thus escaped empirical scrutiny to date. …”

Kalman Filtering and its Application to On-Line State Estimation of a Once-Through Boiler by Patel, Zubeida

“…This thesis contributes to non-linear continuous-discrete Kalman filtering of multiplex systems through the development of two main ideas, namely, integration of the unscented transforms with linearly implicit methods and incorporation of simulation errors in the state estimation problem. The newly developed techniques are then applied to the technically relevant problem of state estimation on the main components of a utility boiler. …”
