Dynamic Hand Gesture Recognition Using Ultrasonic Sonar Sensors and Deep Learning by Lin, Chiao-Shing

“…The space of hand gesture recognition using radar and sonar is dominated mostly by radar applications. In addition, the machine learning algorithms used by these systems are typically based on convolutional neural networks with some applications exploring the use of long short term memory networks. …”

Geographic variation in the phenotypes of two sibling horseshoe bats Rhinolophus simulator and R.swinnyi by Mutumi, Gregory L

“…The relative contributions of adaptation and drift were first tested (Chapter 2) using the Lande's model. It was hypothesised that adaptation would predominate in the diversification of the two horseshoe bats owing to the flight-echolocation and diet-echolocation adaptive complexes that intricately tie these two species to environmental conditions. …”

Contributions to quantitative feedback theory design and preliminary application to a variable-pitch quadcopter by Pretorius, Arnold

“…The experimental framework is first developed, which includes the physical quadcopter platform, as well as a vision-based motion capture system. Modelling and system identification methods are applied to the quadcopter low-level subsystems, in order to understand and verify the fundamental dynamics of the system. …”

The impact of using social networking sites on academic relations and student learning in University setting by Rambe, Patient

“…The problem, therefore, is that while academic relations (lecturer-student, tutor-student, and student-peer) in face-to-face contact are quite central to student meaningful learning and transformation, capturing and studying these relations is complex. This complexity is explicated by the incapacity of traditional classrooms to capture and sustain academic relations due to: 1) The temporality, time and spatially bounded nature of academic relations in class, 2) Class sizes, academics' huge workloads and time constraints that limit one-on-one lecturer-student engagements especially at undergraduate level 3) Transmission pedagogy and classroom space configuration that mute lateral discourses, and 4) Student complex histories and cultural diversity. …”
