This talk will address the problem of determining the semi-rigid motion of an ice floe from a series of grayscale images of the floe. The analysis will start with the global properties of the images. The next step is to ...

The entry of ocean waves from the open sea into pack ice is a feature of the marginal ice zone which has important consequences for navigation and the construction of offshore structures in ice-infested seas. In turn it ...

The use of non-invasive genetic samples to identify individual animals is becoming increasingly common in wildlife studies. Sampling DNA non-invasively (often from hair or faeces) has advantages for identifying animals for ...

The central concept of this thesis is that of Leavitt path algebras, a notion introduced by both Abrams and Aranda Pino in [AA1] and Ara, Moreno and Pardo in [AMP] in 2004. The idea of using a field K and row-finite graph ...

Model averaging is commonly used to allow for model uncertainty in parameter estimation. In the frequentist setting, a model-averaged estimate of a parameter is a weighted mean of the estimates from the individual models, ...

The aim of my research was to develop a capture-recapture model to estimate both prevalence and incidence and to monitor those estimates over time. The standard way of estimating prevalence of diabetes using lists is through ...

This thesis presents the findings of a project with the overarching aim of exploring the role of School Based Assessment (SBA) in mathematics as a component alongside external written examinations for qualifications. The ...

This thesis focuses on the process of change. In particular, how schools and the individual teachers who make them up experience and manage the change process brought about by their involvement in professional development ...
