Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) can exhibit sustained oscillations during the operation in a continuous bioreactor that adversely affects its stability and productivity. Because of heterogeneous nature of cell populations, the cell population balance equation (PBE) can be used to capture the dynamic behavior of such cultures. In this work, an unstructured-segregated model is used f...

By-wire braking is one of the important parts in a by-wire car from safety point of view. Because of safety critical issues, brake pedal is equipped with multiple sensors and their data must be properly fused. In addition to accuracy and robustness, mathematical complexity and computational load of the fusion method are also considered in this application. In this paper, a soft voting method is...

1.1. This article surveys some developments in pure mathematics which have, to varying degrees, grown out of the ideas of gauge theory in Mathematical Physics. The realisation that the gauge fields of particle physics and the connections of differential geometry are one and the same has had wide-ranging consequences, at different levels. Most directly, it has lead mathematicians to work on new ...

Acknowledgements Although the actual writing of this thesis has been done by one person, there are a number of people without whom this thesis had never been written. These people, by offering support, ideas, critiques and various comments related and completely unrelated to the subject of this thesis, have guided the writing of this thesis as much as I did myself. First and foremost, out of a ...
