Street vendors' adaptive strategies and the dynamic nature of urban space: Developing an integrative framework in Kano, Nigeria
This thesis attempts to develop a framework that integrates street vendors within the urbanscape. Spaces within the cities are increasingly becoming scares and valuable, resulting in increased competition for them. Coupled ... -
Testing and scheduling applications under uncertainty
(2021-02)In this thesis, we consider two different optimization problems under uncertainty. The first problem is identifying defective components in failed k-out-of-n systems. In the second part, we study the parallel machine ... -
Thermal and radiative energy/exergy analyses of parabolic trough collector systems
(2018-08)The concept of exergy is used to determine the maximum energy that can be extracted from a system. It is based on both the first and the second laws of thermodynamics and allows us to determine the irreversibilities ... -
Thermo-mechanical behavior of severely deformed titanium
(2017-06)Thermo-mechanical processing of metallic materials has attracted noticeable interest due to the fact that these processing methods can be used to improve the mechanical properties. In this investigation, ultrafine grained ... -
Three essays on the behavior of equity market returns
(2016-12)The first chapter of this thesis analyzes return comovements phenomena known as correlation asymmetry. The phenomena has its two manifests: asymmetric correlations, referring to stock return correlations being higher during ... -
Tools and tecniques for implementation of real-time video processing algorithms
(2018-09)Hardware implementation of video processing algorithms, which are usually real-time by nature, need architectural exploration so that we achieve the required performance with minimal cost. In addition, the video algorithm ... -
Turbulence and flame interaction for control of flame location in diffuser combustor
(2018-08)Achieving an appropriate flame location is desirable in many combustion system applications especial in the design of the combustion system. Given that the characteristics of turbulent flows influence flame behavior and ... -
Using eigenvoices and nearest-neighbours in HMM-based cross-lingual speaker adaptation with limited data
(2017-08)Thesis abstract: Cross-lingual speaker adaptation for speech synthesis has many applications, such as use in speech-to-speech translation systems. Here, we focus on cross-lingual adaptation for statistical speech synthesis ... -
Visible light communications with advanced physical layer features and integration with existing wireless communication technologies
Optical wireless communication systems that operate in the visible light frequency band (390-700 nm) are called as visible light communication (VLC). VLC systems are based on the principle of modulating light emitting ...
