Bayesian inversion for forward partial differential equations in mixed forms by Yang, Juntao

“…The optimal convergence rate of multilevel Markov Chain Monte Carlo for both problems are shown and numerical experiments are included to show case the theoretical results. In chapter 7, we continue the discussion on Bayesian inverse problems where the governing elasticity equation is in the mixed form with a penalty term to model a nearly incompressible materials as in chapter 6, and also the case of incompressible materials. …”

From protocol to practice: evaluating the real-world effects of decentralising HIV care on adolescents’ care outcomes and experiences in South Africa by Haghighat, R

“…However, the effects of decentralising HIV care remain poorly characterised for adolescents, despite its extensive and continuing rollout. Therefore, this thesis aims to characterise the current reality of HIV care delivery for adolescents in South Africa’s decentralised HIV care system, in order to identify potential ways to tailor services for improving care outcomes in this vulnerable population.…”
