Exposure modelling under change of measure by Roberts, Christopher

“…Working with the Hull-White (HW) model of the short rate, the effect of a change of measure on the PFE and EE profiles of vanilla interest rate swaps and European swaptions is shown under three common measures: the money-market account measure, the T-forward measure and the Linear Gaussian Markovian (LGM) measure. A modified Least Squares Monte Carlo (LSM) algorithm, which allows for substantial computational savings, is then introduced in order to approximate contract level exposures under each of the aforementioned probability measures. …”

Development of image based crack measurements, to investigate delamination in different weave Fibre Reinforced Polymers by Harnekar, Abraar

“…The Wedge device was used to emulate a DCB tests in a static position whereby an Ultrasound Thickness Tester was used to obtain and verify the position of the crack tip obtained by the algorithm. DCB tests showed that the Twill weave specimens had the greatest resistance to delamination, while the Unidirectional weave offered the least resistance to delamination. …”

Generalized Passive Radar Processing Chain For Use With Different Signals of Opportunity by Benz, Heinrich

“…By generating Amplitude Range-Doppler (ARD) maps and comparing the results to ARD maps generated when using Conjugate Gradient Least Square (CGLS), a Time Domain (TD) approach, for cancellation, it was found that ECA-CD is an effective and efficient cancellation algorithm for FM signals. …”

Non-intrusive efficiency estimation of induction machines under various power supplies by Gajjar, Chetan Sudhir

“…This research proposes a method that determines an induction machines efficiency over a range of load conditions from tests conducted and centered around one thermally stable load point in the least intrusive manner possible. Coupled with vibration sensors used to determine a motor's speed, measured input voltages and currents are used to deduce a machine efficiency-load profile through the use of a modified evolutionary algorithm, the Non-Intrusive Efficiency Estimation using Population-Based Incremental Learning(NIEE-PBIL) algorithm. …”
