Analysis and modelling of urban sprawl process and its spatiotemporal patterns in tripoli metropolitan area, Libya by Abdulhadi, Abubakr Albashir

“…Several data were used to conduct spatial analysis, modeling, and predictions for urban expansion such as Land-Sat image 1984, Land-Sat image 1996, Spot 5 image 2002, Spot 5 image 2010,road networks, population data, digital contour map, and topographic map. The general aim of this research is to spatiotemporally analyze, assess, and simulate the urban sprawl of Tripoli metropolis by using remotely sensed data through geographic information systems GIS. …”

Reproducibility analysis in sensorimotor and language tasks: implications for clinical functional magnetic resonance imaging. by Law, Amos Li Xiong.

“…In clinical functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), p-value thresholds are typically applied to activation maps to investigate activation intensity. Problems with this methodology include: 1) averaging conceals richness of data, 2) appropriate p-values, 3) emphasis on small p-values, and 4) moderately activated functional regions cannot surpass rigorous p-value thresholds. …”

Reconstructing D-cap from p-adic Hodge theory by Wiersig, F

“…Our approach relies on the overconvergent de Rham period sheaf, obtained from an ind-Banach completion of the infinitesimal period sheaf along the kernel of Fontaine’s map. A key result in this thesis is establishing a bimodule structure on the overconvergent de Rham period structure sheaf over D-cap and the overconvergent de Rham period sheaf. …”

Interface energetics and dynamics in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites by Goh, Teck Wee

“…Organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites have gained a lot of attention over the past six years as a desirable class of materials for various devices which has been shown to possess desirable properties such as long diffusion lengths, large carrier mobility, low trap states. At present, some important topics in this research have not been adequately addressed, like interface energetics, hot carrier dynamics and problems with UV degradation. …”

Assessment of novel pre-erythrocytic malaria vaccines in humans by Venkatraman, N

“…In addition to humoral immunity, it is widely recognised that T-cell mechanisms are likely to play an important role in malaria immunity and heterologous prime-boost regimes using viral-vectored vaccines have been shown to induce potent T-cell responses. ChAd63-MVA ME-TRAP is a regime that has been developed in the Jenner Institute and the first of the clinical trials described in Chapter 3 assesses the safety and immunogenicity of adjuvanting this regime with a novel saponin-based adjuvant, Matrix-M^TM. …”
