Integrated life-cycle cost & risk optimization framework for coastal protection structures by El Hakea, Ayman Hassan Abdel-Wahab

“…By calculating the average maintenance and repair per meter run of every coastal structure, corresponding to the condition of the structure, a Genetic-Algorithm (GA) – based Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) optimization modeling is then developed with the aim to minimize the total LCC for the entire coastal assets up to year 2050, while achieving the minimum reliability of structures, expressed as a Priority Index (PI). …”

Palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of late Holocene climate dynamics in Southwest Africa using a multi-proxy characterization of Namaqualand mudbelt sediments by Granger, Robyn

“…Changes in moisture availability were inferred via the application of in- organic proxies, including grain size variation (promoted through the use of an end-member proxy algorithm) and the Fe/K ratio, a proxy interpreted to be rep- resentative of changes in chemical weathering. …”

Correcting the rotation curve of spiral galaxies for the non-circular motions induced by a bar by Randriamampandry, Toky Herimandimby

“…In this dissertation, we use numerical simulations to quantify and correct for the non-circular flows induced by a bar. The aim is to investigate and quantify the effect of the bar properties on the amplitude of the non-circular motions. …”

Image analysis for a mobile phone-based assessment of latent tuberculosis infection by Maclean, Sarah

“…This was due to the homogeneity between the indurations and the surrounding skin, rendering the algorithm ineffective in delineating the indurations to obtain the diameter measurement required for diagnosis. …”
