Disability cricket in England and Wales exists within a constant state of change. This thesis is an organizational analysis of how environmental factors foster reproduction and/or transformation within the field of disability cricket. It is important to examine how these factors…
The work presented in this thesis is divided into two parts. The first part is the sorption of Ni and Eu to granitic materials, and cation exchange capacity measurements for powdered and intact samples. The second part is method development on autoradiography. In the first part,…
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from large source points, such as power plants, and storing it in geological formation. It is a potential means of reducing CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere to mitigate global warming and ocean acidifica…
Hysteresis nonlinearity is found in many control system applications such as piezo-actuated nanopositioners. The positioner is represented as a linear system preceded by hysteresis. This hysteresis nonlinearity is usually modeled by operators in order to simulate their effects i…
The proteretic Hopfield neural network is studied in this work. Hysteresis is a Greek word which means deficiency or lagging behind, and it can be defined as the occurrence of a delayed effect when forces acting on an abject are varied. It will be shown that the proteresis, whic…
The shift from a domestic currency (peso) to dollar denominated deposits (deposit dollarization) in Argentina and Bolivia is explained with a nonlinear model that incorporates ratcheting effects, hysteresis and network externalities. There are two principal factors behind these …
Numerous mechanical phenomena demonstrate the cyclical nonlinear behavior known as hysteresis. A literature review highlights the applicability of hysteretic analysis to a wide variety of mechanical systems and provides a historical overview of mathematical models developed for …
Fifteen years of civil war and the economic crisis in 1992 left remarkable scars on the Lebanese economy. The dramatic devaluation of the Lebanese Pound (LBP) and high inflation rate imposed a real threat for the wealth of individuals and firms. They sought refuge in the US doll…
