Predicting multi-person dynamics
(2023-12-01)
Humans unconsciously model the dynamics of the world around them; for example, we predict the movement of surrounding traffic and pedestrians while driving, or forecast player positions in a game of soccer. Our work builds ...
Co-designing instruction in virtual learning environments using AI
(2023-12-01)
The literature was explored to determine how artificial intelligence (AI) systems and algorithms are currently being used in the co-design of learning within virtual learning environments. Through the analysis of literature, ...
Instructional design and development tools for online adult education: a literature review
(2023-12-01)
This paper examines the intersection of online learning, adult learning theories, and instructional methods in adult education. Through a comprehensive literature review, it analyzes prominent adult learning theories and ...
Calculating thermochemical equilibrium for multiphysics simulations of nuclear materials : development of yellowjacket gibbs energy minimiser
(2022-11-01)
Nuclear fuels and structural materials are highly complex systems that are remarkably challenging to understand and model. Material behaviours are influenced by multiple physical phenomena such as mechanics, chemistry, ...
Robust multi-group multicast beamforming design and antenna selection for massive MIMO systems
(2023-04-01)
In this dissertation, we use an Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) algorithm to design robust multi-group multicast beamforming scheme for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems for two ...

This thesis presents novel engine systems using alternative fuels for aviation, rail, and marine transportation as follows: (i) alternative powering systems, such as fuel cells, on-board hydrogen production (ii) alternative ...
Design of surface micro-machined inertial MEMS sensor with meta-heuristic topology optimization
(2023-03-01)
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are getting popular for a variety of applications due to their small size, low cost, and good performance. MEMS devices are designed by combining simple shapes based on the experience ...
Transformer-based models for answer extraction in text-based question/answering
(2023-04-01)
The success of transformer-based language models has led to a surge of research in various natural language processing tasks, among which extractive question-answering/answer span detection, has received considerable ...
An evaluation of a dietary sodium reduction research consortium of five low-and middle-income countries in Latin America
(2023-04-01)
Background: Excess sodium consumption is a risk factor to cardiovascular disease (CVD). In Latin American countries (LAC), CVD rates are high. In LAC, policy development is complex and factors impacting research uptake ...
Performance assessment of Au SERS substrates prepared by deposition of Au nanoparticles on screen-printed SiO2 particle films
(2023-02-01)
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a highly studied technique for simple and rapid trace analysis. Screen-printing, a low-cost fabrication method, has been proposed as a reproducible and affordable approach for ...
