Abstract:

Cette thèse est consacrée à l’étude de deux problèmes issus de la théorie du contrôle des EDP. Dans un premier temps, on étudie le comportement asymptotique de la solution du système de von Kàrmàn viscoélastique unidimensionnel avec retard. On montre que ce dernier est bien posé dans un espace fonctionnel convenable en utilisant la méthode de Faedo-Galerkin. Pour établir notre résultat de stabilité, on utilise la méthode de Lyapunov en construisant une fonctionnelle adéquate. Dans un deuxième temps, on étudie le problème de la contrôlabilité et de la stabilisation par le bord pour l’équation d

Abstract:

A load control scheme that used frequency measurements of a smart meter for controlling domestic appliances to provide primary response was investigated. An experimental rig was developed to test and demonstrate the scheme. The amount of loads to be controlled to limit the frequency drop of the Great Britain (GB) power system to a set of minimum allowable frequencies was found. Operating speeds and the limitations of the components of the load controller in providing primary response are discussed. It is shown that if smart meters are to play any role in primary response then the speed at whic

Abstract:

Modelling of the charge transport in different types of organic semiconductors (molecular crystals and semicrystalline polymers) is undertaken using a number of different methods. Using a polarisable force field we have determined the extent of the external reorganisation energy for hole transport in molecular crystals. We have found that this key parameter is very small for naphthalene, anthracene, tetracene, pentacene and rubrene and discussed the implications of this finding in the context of charge transport modelling. Charge trapping in organic crystals due to defect states is studied by

Abstract:

In an effort to address and to rectify the overabundance of stereotype in regional literature of the American South, this dissertation seeks to recontextualize the traditional markers and the use of sense of place to determine setting. Instead, the thesis emphasizes and explores how relationships of identity through attitudes of dysfunction and obsession can give place or land agency within a narrative, thus reinvigorating the value and authenticity of the regional narrative beyond common and expected patterns. This is exemplified and analyzed in close readings of contemporary Southern writers

Abstract:

Green business models (GBMs) have the potential to deliver a much better performance compared to conventional business models (BMs) in this age of sustainability. The question of how construction companies can transform their BMs based on green value propositions is both highly relevant for management and poorly understood to date. This study empirically investigates GBMs transformations in the UK construction industry. The study closely scrutinises how GBMs are defined and understood by adopting a set of defined five elements from business and management literature: namely, green value propos

Abstract:

The global economic system has been undergoing fundamental changes since the 1980s. Many emerging countries drastically increased their openness to trade and foreign investments. Formerly socialist countries entered a transition towards a market-based model and deepened their integration into the global economy. As a result, the geography of trade, investment flows, and innovation is becoming more multipolar. This thesis seeks to improve our understanding of the links between these macro-level shifts and the geography of innovation, spatial patterns of economic deprivation, as well as firm-lev

Introduction In Senegal, as in many countries, physicians are unevenly distributed. This situation leads to health inequalities, but the solutions adopted to distribute physicians equitably do not give satisfactory results. This situation pushes decision-makers and researchers to look for other solutions such as telemedicine. This technology-based solution is considered to be a good means to improve physician recruitment and retention in underserved areas, thus improving access to healthcare in these areas, but it is still underused in Senegalese health facilities.

Abstract:

Background: Infertility rates in the Middle East and North Africa are among the highest worldwide. Despite its elevated prevalence among men and women, infertility is mainly blamed on women’s reproductive health failures. Consequently, infertility threatens women’s social and marital security, social power, and status in society. In Canada, the Arab population constitutes the second largest group of newcomers, but very little research has explored Arab immigrant women’s experiences with and access to comprehensive reproductive health services.

Abstract:

Fuel cells represent a promising technology for clean power generation because they convert chemical energy (fuel) into electrical energy with high efficiency and low-to-none emission of pollutants. Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) have several advantages compared to the most studied hydrogen and methanol fuel cells. First and foremost, ethanol is a non-toxic liquid, which lowers the investment of handling facilities because the current infrastructure for gasoline can be largely used. Second, ethanol can be conveniently produced from biomass, hence is carbon neutral which mitigates increasing

Abstract:

For large and small signal analysis of electromechanical systems with power electronic devices such as Brushless DC (BLDC) motor-inverter drives, average-value models (AVMs) are indisputable. Average-value models are typically orders of magnitude faster than the corresponding detailed models. This advantage makes AVMs ideal for representing motor-drive components in system level studies. Derivation of accurate dynamic average-value model of BLDC motor-drive system is generally challenging and requires careful averaging of the stator phase voltages and currents over a prototypical switching int

Abstract:

This thesis is an investigation of the mechanisms of blue-light- mediated phototropism in higher plants. Phototropism was analysed in light-grown mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seedlings under low pressure sodium (SOX) lamps to minimise the involvement of phytochrome. Light-grown mustard seedlings do not show a blue-light-mediated inhibition of axis extension growth and the Blaauw theory must therefore be rejected as an explanation of phototropism. Phototropic curvature was established by an inhibition of growth on the illuminated side of the hypocotyl accompanied by an equal but opposite accelerat

Moreover, sorghum does not contain gluten and has potential in the gluten-free market. A blend of non-wheat flour, starch and hydrocolloid typically provide the structure of gluten-free products. Most research on sorghum bread uses a yeast leavened process, HPMC gum, rice flour and corn, potato, or tapioca starch. Little is known about the functionality or interactions of different starches and hydrocol

L'objectiu principal de la present tesis doctoral ha estat l'estudi de la possible contribució de l'Amino Oxidasa Sensible a Semicarbazida (SSAO) en el dany vascular, la seva implicació en l'Angiopatia Cerebral Amiloide (CAA) i la Malaltia d'Alzheimer (AD). <br/>La SSAO és un enzim multifuncional, al qual se li han atribuït diferents papers biològics depenent del teixit on es localitzi. La seva expressió es troba amplament distribuïda en mamífers, especialment en teixits altament vascularitzats, associat a cèl·lules endotelial i de múscul llis. Així mateix, existeix una forma de SSAO soluble p

Abstract:

The wood energy market remains nascent in the UK, despite climate change policies and energy security concerns. Transaction costs have been identified as one barrier to woodfuel development. However, few studies provide explicit insights into such barriers to spontaneous exchange in this sector and how they influence its formation. The study approaches the development of woodfuel in the South West Region of England through Transaction Costs Economics (TCE) and aims to identify the appropriate governance structure of the supply chain as a response to existing transactions costs.

Abstract:

Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis in older adults, often results in pain, disability and poor psychological well-being. Compared to White adults, Black adults consistently report more pain, more activity limitations, and have different perceptions about OA. Racial disparities also exist in treatments, and prevalence of arthritis. It is imperative to have effective interventions and treatment options for older Blacks. Yet, few arthritis interventions have included Black participants in their samples, and nearly all of those have failed to report separate analyses indicating
