This thesis presents a model-based controlling proposal for a pilot-scale gasifier with passive syngas shifting components. This control proposal was developed out of a prior dynamic modelling stage and validation of the technological improvements. The first element was the vali…

Projects and programmes are inherently complex; the interaction of people, systems, processes and data within a dynamic environment creates an intricate network of agents whose behaviour can be unpredictable and unexpected. The management of this complexity is ordinarily concern…
Drought is a natural disaster that affects millions of people across the globe. Lack of rainfall reduces crop yields and livestock productivity and in turn, food availability and income. In developing countries, these effects are even more detrimental. As droughts become more fr…
Hidden Markov models and partially observable Markov decision processes are widely used to model system dynamics driven by latent states. Those latent states have specific practical interpretations in different real world problems, like the activity states in wearable computing …
Landscapes and sedimentary records host important information about the evolutionary history of the Earth and other planetary bodies. The successful extraction of such information from the preserved record requires a comprehensive understanding of the encoding, propagation, and …
A wide range of managerial problems are similar in nature, and yet they continuously appear in different forms and in different geographical locations. Compared to other sciences, it seems that in the field of management, managers have a hard time facing these similar problems. …
