Bounds on distance-based topological indices in graphs.
(2012)This thesis details the results of investigations into bounds on some distance-based topological indices. The thesis consists of six chapters. In the first chapter we define the standard graph theory concepts, and ... -
The C-Band All Sky Survey commissioning and data analysis.
(2017)The C-Band All Sky Survey (C-BASS) is a ground based radio survey that scans the entire sky in Stokes I, Q and U at a central frequency of 5 GHz with a 1 GHz bandwidth and an angular resolution of 0.73 . The experiment ... -
Computational study of high order numerical schemes for fluid-structure interaction in gas dynamics.
(2013)Solving the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems is particularly challenging. This is because the coupling of the fluid and structure may require different solvers in different points of the solution domain, and with ... -
Conformal symmetry and applications to spherically symmetric spacetimes.
(2018)In this thesis we study static spherically symmetric spacetimes with a spherical conformal symmetry and a nonstatic conformal factor. We analyse the general solution of the conformal Killing vector equation subject to ... -
Developing an integrated decision support system for an oil refinery.
(1998)This thesis considers the problem of residue upgrading operations in an oil refinery. Visbreaking is a residue-upgrading process that improves profitability of a refinery. The economics of converting the heavy residue ... -
Differential equations for relativistic radiating stars.
(2013)We consider radiating spherical stars in general relativity when they are conformally flat, geodesic with shear, and accelerating, expanding and shearing. We study the junction conditions relating the pressure to the ... -
Double-diffusive convection flow in porous media with cross-diffusion.
(2011)In this thesis we study double-diffusive convection and cross-diffusion effects in flow through porous media. Fluid flows in various flow geometries are investigated and the governing equations are solved analytically ... -
Dynamics of radiating stars in the strong gravity regime.
(2017)We model the dynamics of a spherically symmetric radiating dynamical star, emitting outgoing null radiation, with three spacetime regions. The local internal atmosphere is a two-component system consisting of standard ... -
Epidemiological modelling of foot and mouth disease control in cattle: incorporating time and spatial spread of disease dynamics.
(2019)Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a contagious animal viral infection that can spread rapidly if the disease is not monitored and controlled. Therefore, protecting livestock and controlling foot and mouth disease is important ... -
Evolution of galaxy cluster scaling relations over half a Hubble time.
(2016)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Exact models of compact stars with equations of state.
(2013)We study exact solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell system of equations and relate them to compact objects. It is well known that there are substantial analytic difficulties in the modelling of self-gravitating, static fluid ... -
Fischer Clifford matrices and character tables of certain groups associated with simple groups O+10(2) [the simple orthogonal group of dimension 10 over GF (2)], HS and Ly.
(2011)The character table of any finite group provides a considerable amount of information about a group and the use of character tables is of great importance in Mathematics and Physical Sciences. Most of the maximal subgroups ... -
Fixed point theory in various generalized metric-type spaces.
(2022)In the theory of fixed points, there are numerous articles dealing with generalization of the basic Banach contraction mapping principle. There has been two lines of approach. The first one is concerned with generalizations ... -
Generalized radiating stellar models with cosmological constant and electric charge.
(2019)A general matter distribution, with the addition of the cosmological constant and electric charge, for the interior spacetime of a spherically symmetric radiating star undergoing gravitational collapse is considered in ... -
Generalized travelling wave solutions for a microscopic chemotaxis model.
(2014)In biology cell migration is one of the most critical processes, for it is decisive in the mechanisms leading to the beginning of life. The collective migration of cells via wave motion plays a key role in understanding ... -
Group theoretic approach to heat conducting gravitating systems.
(2013)We study shear-free heat conducting spherically symmetric gravitating fluids defined in four and higher dimensional spacetimes. We analyse models that are both uncharged and charged via the pressure isotropy condition ... -
Initial conditions of the universe : signatures in the cosmic microwave background and baryon acoustic oscillations.
(2012)In this thesis, we investigate the signatures of isocurvature initial conditions in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) through the temperature and polarization anisotropies, and in the large-scale structure distribution ... -
Interative approaches to convex feasibility problems.
(2001)Solutions to convex feasibility problems are generally found by iteratively constructing sequences that converge strongly or weakly to it. In this study, four types of iteration schemes are considered in an attempt to ... -
Investigation of gravitational collapse of generalized Vaidya spacetimes.
(2015)In this thesis, we study the gravitational collapse of generalized Vaidya spacetimes which describe a combination of lightlike and timelike matter elds, commonly known as Type I and Type II elds, respectively, in the ...
