-
(2018)In this research, different methods are presented for design and multi-objective optimization of laminated hybrid composites when design variables are not deterministic due to manufacture related uncertainties. Since, ...
-
(2017)The approximate greatest descent (AGD) method and a two-phase AGD method (AGDN) are proposed as new methods for a nonlinear least squares problem. Numerical experiments show that these methods outperform existing methods ...
-
(2018)Consumers with chronic conditions have access to a plethora of mobile applications (‘apps’) to manage their health. Qualitative research confirmed consumers’ willingness to engage with this technology. A checklist was ...
-
(2018)This thesis is devoted to calculations of stopping power in ion-atom and ion-molecule collisions. A single-centre convergent close-coupling method is used to calculate the stopping power of simple atoms and molecules, ...
-
(2018)After the Vietnam War ended in April 1975, Hong Kong was confronted with the Vietnamese Crisis which lasted 25 years. It involved the arrivals by boat of 213,000 Vietnamese refugees, riots in the detention centres and ...
-
(2017)Through the use of a moving bed of biochar-based catalyst, the tar concentration in a syngas produced from gasification of biomass can be reduced below 100 mg/m3. The spent catalyst, i.e. partially-gasified biochar, has ...
-
(2018)Through creative practice and an exegesis, this research seeks to understand the ways in which the materiality of place can inform art practice. I compare the experience of place in my hometown, Katowice, Poland, to my ...
