Joint call admission control incorporating pricing for congestion control to enhance QoS and ensure revenue for network operators in next generation wireless networks by Kabahuma, Sarah

“…The analysis is conducted with different percentages of users opting for either dynamic or flat pricing schemes. Simulation results show that higher user utility and improved QoS performance are obtained with the hybrid pricing model. …”

The effect of turboprop propulsion on the aerodynamic benefits of formation flight by McKenzie, Cameron Cedric

“…The downwash velocity field of a B747 during cruise, obtained via the use of the VFM Burnham-Hallock (VFM B-H) model programme, was verified against both the simulation conducted by Ehret and Oertel, in which an integrated Biot-Savart law VFM was utilised, as well as against experimental results obtained by Burnham et al. in their ground-based measurements of the wake vortex characteristics of a B747 aircraft. …”

Leveraging the microbiome in host genome wide association studies by Awany, Denis

“…Philosophically, the non-parametric specification amounts to the addition of an infinite amount of prior information about all fine details of the parameters being modelled; thus represents an attractive strategy. The utility of the method is demonstrated through simulation experiments and application to real microbiome datasets for schizophrenia, HIV/AIDS, and atherosclerosis diseases, where it is shown that the method is not only robust but also has high statistical power for association inference, resulting in a framework that can contribute to our understanding of the link between the microbiome and human diseases. …”
