Some theoretical problems related to flows induced in liquid metals by linear motors
Thesis
Rae, I. C. Some theoretical problems related to flows induced in liquid metals by linear motors. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/413646

We obtain results which describe the electromagnetic (EM) field and some aspects of the fluid flow induced in a liquid metal by a linear induction motor. The need for a theoretical description of the motor and its influence arises from recent develop...

Process survivability in a distributed computer control system
Thesis
Trueman, P. Process survivability in a distributed computer control system. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/415366

Possibly the greatest advantage that a distributed computer control system has over a centralised control system is that the failure of one or more of its constituent computers does not prevent the other computers from operating normally. Unfortunate... Read More about Process survivability in a distributed computer control system.

Some problems in reliability of systems composed of unreliable components
Thesis
Ansell, J. Some problems in reliability of systems composed of unreliable components. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/415426

The thesis considers several connected problems in the study of reliability of systems with unreliable components. Initially it reviews the dichotomic case introducing a new characterization which clarifies the importance of the k-out-of-n structures...

Bayesian sequential methods for binomial and multinomial selection problems
Thesis
Madhi, S. A. Bayesian sequential methods for binomial and multinomial selection problems. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/415502

The thesis deals with binomial and multinomial sequential selection problems. Optimal sequential sampling schemes are derived by using dynamic programming in conjunction with loss functions and sampling costs and to minimize expected sample sizes. Co...

Reliable file storage in a distributed computing system
Thesis
Reliable file storage in a distributed computing system. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416853

This thesis considers the problem of how to construct a file-store which is reliable in terms of high accessibility of data and low likelihood of data loss. In particular the problem is discussed in the context of a local area network computer archit... Read More about Reliable file storage in a distributed computing system.

The separation technique for nonlinear partial differential equations: general results and its connection with other methods
Thesis
Malloki, I. A. The separation technique for nonlinear partial differential equations: general results and its connection with other methods. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416225

This thesis is primarily a study of the separation method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations, which is a generalisation of the classical separation approach as applied to linear equations. The method is of Importance since it produc... Read More about The separation technique for nonlinear partial differential equations: general results and its connection with other methods.

Run-time diagnostics in programming languages with data-structuring facilities
Thesis
Run-time diagnostics in programming languages with data-structuring facilities. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416621

Modern high level programming languages have been designed with the intention of providing the means of expressing the solution to a problem in the most natural way possible. This thesis is concerned with the correctness of such solutions.

Monitoring Individual Cells within Cell Cultures using Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Techniques
Thesis
Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Techniques. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/409655

Cells are the building blocks of the human body which are normally specialised by type in accordance with their function. Human cells interact with each other to form the tissues that make up the body. Consequently, it is important to study the behav...

Investigating the use of native language calls in a multi-channel business process
Thesis
Investigating the use of native language calls in a multi-channel business process. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/409127

Background
Making system functionality available via multi-channel access (MCA) can be achieved through exposing functions and business processes as software services.
