A GEOMETRIC APPROACH TO MODELLING INTERACTING POPULATIONS
Creators: name: SHARP, JENNIFER M.
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1997

description: The purpose of this thesis is to present a different approach to the formulation of differential equation mathematical models for interacting populations. It does this through considering a geometric method. The solution to the differential equations are forced, through theuformulation, to lie on the surface of well known three-dimensional shapes. It is this that allows detailed analysis of how, and why, the solution of the equations behave as they do. The thesis firstly reviews some of the skills and techniques used in the formulation and alysis of differential equation models to give a background for some of the analysis used the geometric approach to modelling. The geometrical approach is then presented using two three-dimensional surfaces, the ellipsoid and the torus. Also examined is an extension of the basic shape to higher dimensions. Using the three-dimensional shape as a reference, a four-dimensional representation is formulated. This increase in the number of variables in the model allows more situations to be modelled. The thesis concludes by discussing the use of the type of model produced by the geometric approach by addressing some of the advantages and disadvantages of this approach. It ends with some extensions to this study of geometric models for future work.

MICROPROCESSOR BASED NON-LINEAR ADAPTIVE CONTROLLER
Creators: name: YUNG, K. L.
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1985

description: The advent of microprocessors has created the possibility of developing low cost adaptive controllers for small process plants which in the past badly needed but could not afford such controllers. To examine the practicality of developing advanced low cost microprocessor based controller, this thesis describes the development of a non-linear adaptive controller for a nylon crimping plant which is a typical example of small process plants. In order to test the algorithm on site, an algorithm development/implement device basing on a novel multi-tasking concept was developed. This novel microprocessor based device can perform program development, on-line algorithm test and data logging at the same time, while, still maintaining its small size for easy transportation. When the control algorithm was fully developed and tested, a low cost dedicated controller using an Intel 8085 processor was designed to house the algorithm and as a direct replacement of the original analogue controller.

Year: 2024

description: L’articolo ricostruisce le vicende del progetto incompiuto di riscrittura operistica dell’Hernani di Victor Hugo ad opera di Felice Romani per le musiche di Bellini. Dall’analisi degli abbozzi e dei frammenti autografi emergono alcuni significativi elementi del processo compositivo belliniano come l’importanza assegnata al parametro timbrico già a partire dalle prime fasi ideative della melodia o come la cura riservata ai recitativi. Di particolare interesse è la presenza di ‘abbozzi-scheletro’ suscettibili di riscritture ma che, qualora l’idea si fosse dimostrata efficace, si prestavano a divenire ‘partiture-scheletro’ pronte per essere completate. Le discordanze tra il manoscritto superstite di Romani e il testo sotto le note dell’autografo belliniano palesano la complessità e la concitazione delle fasi lavorative definitivamente interrotte per problemi legati alla censura asburgica.

description: AI Avatar Development: Real Innovation or Just Hype?

In today’s hyperconnected world, attention is currency. To stand out, brands can no longer settle for flashy features or surface-level engagement. They need to build meaningful, scalable, and personalized experiences. Enter AI avatars: digital humans that are revolutionizing communication by bringing lifelike presence to virtual interactions.

Imagine a team member who never takes a coffee break, speaks ten languages fluently, and delivers personalized service around the clock. That’s the promise of AI avatars. Whether acting as financial advisors, healthcare companions, virtual tutors, or tour guides, they’re reshaping how organizations support, educate, and engage with people across industries.

These avatars aren’t science fiction. They’re already hard at work in sectors like healthcare, HR, retail, and hospitality. In hospitals, they provide mental health support and streamline patient interactions. In retail, they help customers with personalized product recommendations and multilingual support. In HR, they manage onboarding and training with unmatched consistency.

But with growing popularity comes a bigger question: is this just a trend, or a real innovation with long-term value? The truth lies in the tech. Under the hood, not all avatars are built the same. Leading platforms like FBX Avatar, HeyGen, and NVIDIA ACE each offer different capabilities in terms of realism, scalability, and integration.

That’s where strategic choice becomes crucial. AI avatars may look similar, but choosing the right development or outsourcing partner can make or break your implementation. Globaldev specializes in guiding businesses through this landscape — helping clients not just follow the trend, but lead with the right solution tailored to their needs.

COMPONENT TECHNOLOGIES AND THEIR IMPACT UPON SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Creators: name: PHIPPEN, ANDREW DAVID
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2000

description: Software development is beset with problems relating to development productivity, resulting in projects delivered late and over budget. While the term software engineering was first introduced in the late sixties, its current state reflects no other engineering discipline. Component-orientation has been proposed as a technique to address the problems of development productivity and much industrial literature extols the benefits of a component-oriented approach to software development. This research programme assesses the use of component technologies within industrial software development. From this assessment, consideration is given to how organisations can best adopt such techniques. Initial work focuses upon the nature of component-orientation, drawing from the considerable body of industrial literature in the area. Conventional wisdom regarding componentorientation is identified from the review. Academic literature relevant to the research programme focuses upon knowledge regarding the assessment of software technologies and models for the adoption of emergent technologies. The method pays particular attention to literature concerning practitioner focussed research, in particular case studies. The application of the case study method is demonstrated. The study of two industrial software development projects enables an examination of specific propositions related to the effect of using component technologies. Each case study is presented, and the impact of component-orientation is each case is demonstrated. Theories regarding the impact of component technologies upon software development are drawn from case study results. These theories are validated through a survey of practitioners. This enabled further examination of experience in component-based development and also understanding how developers learn about the techniques. A strategy for the transfer of research findings into organisational knowledge focuses upon the packaging of previous experience in the use of component-orientation in such a way that it was usable by other developers. This strategy returns to adoption theories in light of the research findings and identifies a pattern-based approach as the most suitable for the research aims. A pattern language, placed in the context of the research programme, is developed from this strategy. Research demonstrates that component-orientation undoubtedly does affect the development process, and it is necessary to challenge conventional wisdom regarding their use. While component-orientation provides the mechanisms for increased productivity in software development, these benefits cannot be exploited without a sound knowledge base around the domain.

Sulla tradizione testuale della Beatrice di Tenda di Bellini: l’edizione Pittarelli in partitura (1838c)
Creators: name: Piperno, Franco
Publisher: name: Pavia University Press - Edizioni dell'Università degli Studi di Pavia
Year: 2024

description: Il saggio prende in esame la partitura a stampa della Beatrice di Tenda di Bellini (1833) realizzata dal litografo romano Pittarelli verso il 1837, per esaminarne le modalità di realizzazione e la sua posizione nella tradizione del testo belliniano. Si tratta di un raro caso di partitura d’opera incisa nella prima metà dell’Ottocento, l’unico per Bellini; lo scrutinio del testo in rapporto all’autografo, ai precedenti testimoni manoscritti, alla riduzione per canto e pianoforte di Ricordi (1834) e al libretto dell’opera, mostra l’attenzione del litografo romano per una restituzione accurata del testo belliniano, frutto di attenta collazione di più testimoni e di efficaci emendamenti di lezioni corrotte in questi riprodotte.

Laminated Sediments of Loch Ness, Scotland: Indicators of Holocene Environmental Change
Creators: name: Cooper, Michael Colin
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1999

description: Sediment cores, two approximately 6 metres and one about 1 metre in length, were recovered from the profundal plain of the northern basin of Loch Ness, Scotland. Examination revealed that the sediment is composed of irregular sequences of pale and dark laminations, most sub-millimeter in thickness, some ca 5 mm thick. Enumeration of laminae, and determination of lamination thickness, was carried out using X-radiography and image analysis. A hypothesis was developed that the finer laminations represent varves. This was tested by means of lamination counting, and by radiocarbon dating of material from one 'long' core. Comparison of the two chronologies thus derived suggested that the hypothesis was correct, and that a non-continuous chronology had been obtained, spanning the period ca 9000 to 1500 BP. Lamination thickness data derived from recent sediments was compared with meteorological data, especially rainfall, in order to test the hypothesis that prevailing climate, together with the alignment of the Loch with the predominantly southwesterly airflow, médiates in the production of the volume of allochthonous mineral material eroded from the catchment and its input to the water column. The result of this analysis bas proved inconclusive, and a more complex relationship may be involved. Other proxy climatic data were utilised in order further to investigate this aspect of the study and correlations between the sediment record and several of thèse were shown to be statistically significant. Spectral analysis of the lamination thickness datasets was also employed in order to determine if patterns of sedimentation may be linked to periodic forcing processes. Cyclicities observed in recent sediments include those of ca 210 and ca 90 years, which are also present in many other climatically-related records. Analysis of lamination thickness in the 'long' cores has proved inconclusive, producing evidence of many periodicities, but few of significance. It is believed that this result may be attributed to the non-stationary behaviour of forcing agents through time.

POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS IN THE TAMAR ESTUARY
Creators: name: Readman, James William
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1982

description: The high particulate association of PAH in aquatic systems has often been attributed to the hydrophobic nature of the compounds leading to adsorption. Results presented i n this thesis strongly suggest that a significant proportion of PAH in the Tamar are particle-incorporated and unavailable for dynamic partition and physical, chemical and biological fates. The generally uniform PAH composition identified throughout the estuary is highly indicative of a combustion or road and urban runoff source. PAH distrubution in a dated Tamar Estuary sediment core showed an exponential decrease with depth and identified dramatic increases in PAH flux during the last 20 years. This suggests an association with motor vehicles probably via road runoff. No significant trends of change in PAH composition with depth were apparent, indicating unifoinnlty of source and the unimportance of PAH degradation mechanisms in the anoxic-sediment. Ibrylene displayed an anomalous distribution that could be attributed to its biogenic origin. A survey of PAH distribution in the estuarine water column identified two areas exhibiting high concentrations. The first was observed at the turbidity maximum at the head of the estuary (by virtue of particle-associated PAH) and the second as a result of an emission in the urban region during the, sampling period. A similar distribution was identified in the estuarine surface sediments which are shown to act as a sink for both riverine and urban PAH. Suspended particulates in the water column, in general, contain similar levels and compositionally reflect the higher molecular weight PAH (M>200) in the sediments. Ihis underlines the importance of particulate transport and indicates that degradation of these PAH in the water column, is of minor significance, with sediment incorporation as their primary fate. Lower MW PAH (MW<200)were enriched in soluble forms in the water column. Microbial heterotrophic degradation and volatilisation are proposed as important environmental fates of these low MW compounds.
