Revitalizing Alexandria's corniche : adapting waterfront urban design strategies to overcome limitations in Sidi Gaber
LAUREA MAGISTRALELe rive urbane subiscono trasformazioni dinamiche attraverso progetti di rigenerazione volti a rispondere alle sfide economiche, ambientali e sociali. Sebbene tali progetti spesso mostrino successi, possono portare a difficoltà impreviste quando fattori essenziali vengono trascurati. Questa tesi esamina progetti internazionali di rive urbane che hanno implementato con successo specifiche strategie di design urbano, identificando le migliori pratiche rilevanti per il contesto unico del lungomare di Alessandria. Lo studio esplora i problemi e le soluzioni derivanti dagli sviluppi recenti che hanno limitato l’accesso pubblico e modificato il carattere del lungomare, con particolare attenzione alle limitazioni specifiche nel quartiere di Sidi Gaber. Valutando le condizioni esistenti e identificando le sfide principali, lo studio genera un’analisi SWOT e propone un framework di strategie progettuali applicato attraverso il progetto Al Salam Promenade. In linea con gli SDG, questo progetto integra strategie di design urbano sostenibile e inclusivo, offrendo un modello adattabile per la rivitalizzazione delle rive urbane soddisfacendo al contempo le esigenze della comunità. Attraverso queste intuizioni, questa ricerca presenta un framework per urbanisti, progettisti e responsabili delle politiche, contribuendo con strategie preziose allo sviluppo delle rive urbane. I risultati mirano a informare future iniziative, aiutando le città a bilanciare la modernizzazione con la conservazione culturale e il benessere della comunità.Urban waterfronts undergo dynamic transformations through regeneration projects aimed at responding to economic, environmental, and social challenges. Although such projects often showcase successes, they may lead to unforeseen difficulties when essential factors are overlooked.

Motion of a slip sphere in a nonconcentric fictitious spherical envelope of micropolar fluid
Stokes’ axisymmetrical translational motion of a slip sphere, located anywhere on the diameter of a virtual spherical fluid ‘cell’, is investigated. The fluid is micropolar and flows are parallel to the line connecting the two centres. An infinite-series solution is presented for the stream function, pressure field, vorticity, microrotation component, shear stress and couple stress of the flow. Basset-type slip boundary conditions on the sphere surface are used for velocity and microrotation. The Happel and Kuwabara boundary conditions are used on the fictitious surface of the cell model. Numerical results for the normalized drag force acting on the sphere are obtained with excellent convergence for various values of the volume fraction, the relative distance between the centre of the sphere and the virtual envelope, the vortex viscosity parameter and the slip coefficients of the sphere. In the special case when the spherical particle is in the concentric position with the cell surface, the numerical values of the normalized drag force agree with the available values in the literature.

Slip at the surface of an oscillating spheroidal particle in a micropolar fluid
The axisymmetric rectilinear and rotary oscillations of a spheroidal particle in an incompressible micropolar fluid are considered. Basset type linear slip boundary conditions on the surface of the solid spheroidal particle are used for velocity and microrotation. Under the assumption of small amplitude oscillations, analytical expressions for the fluid velocity field and microrotation components are obtained in terms of a first order small parameter characterizing the deformation. For the rectilinear oscillations, the drag acting on the particle is evaluated and expressed in terms of two real parameters for the prolate and oblate spheroids. Also, the couple exerted on the spheroid is evaluated for the prolate and oblate spheroids for the rotary oscillations. Their variations with respect to the frequency, deformity, micropolarity and slip parameters are tabulated and displayed graphically. Well-known results are deduced and comparisons are made between the classical viscous fluids and micropolar fluids. The results of this study serve to improve the accuracy of viscosity measurements for micropolar fluids.

Examining a post-colonial neo-traditionalist response to modernity: the case of Abu Bakr Al-Mashhūr (1947-2022)
This thesis challenges the long running trend within academia to characterise traditional Muslim responses to modernity as rejectionist, obstructive, or revanchist, and as such are overlooked. In correcting this characterisation, I examine the intellectual response to modernity of Yemeni traditionalist scholar Abu Bakr Al-Mashhūr as a significant representative of this hitherto neglected trend. Though heavily critiquing European modernity as a colonial tool responsible for corroding communal, moral, philosophical and political arrangements, he proposes an edited modernity that rejects the need for Eurocentrism in the Muslim world. Drawing on a comprehensive analysis of Al-Mashhūr's writings, this study sheds light on how traditionalist Muslim scholars engage with and respond to the complex phenomenon of modernity. The analysis presented here reveals an emergence of a decolonial narrative within traditional Muslim scholarship; one that adopts conservative pragmatism and a negotiating tone to offer another way of thinking about modernity; neither rejecting or embracing it wholesale. In this new way a deconstructive and constructive engagement with modernity goes beyond the question of 'what went wrong with Muslims?'. Confidence in tradition underpins this narrative, expanding its constituent sciences and showing its dynamic ability to engage without reverting to Islamism or compromise with other forms of modernism. These original findings correct our understanding of traditional responses and reveal an alternative modernity within the ranks of traditional scholars; one that is neither binary nor Eurocentric
Određivanje aktivnosti enzima u mlijeku i krvi holstein krava sa supkliničkim mastitisom
The objective of this study was to determine the activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in the milk and blood of lactating Holstein cows and investigate their association with subclinical mastitis (SCM). This study also aims to evaluate the impact of SCM and its severity based on California mastitis test (CMT) scores on the above mentioned enzymes, as well as to test the efficiency of their use as an early predictive diagnostic tool. Thirty multiparous, lactating dairy Holstein cows were examined using CMT and according to the obtained results classified into four groups; control group 1 (SCM-free = 10, score = 0), group 2 (weak positive = 8, score +1), group 3 (positive = 7, score +2) and group 4 (strong positive = 5, score +3). The milk LDH, ALP, and GGT activities were significantly higher in groups 3 and 4 compared to group 2 and the control group. LDH activity was significantly higher in group 2 compared to the control group. The mean blood LDH and ALP activities in SCM groups were significantly higher than in the control group. ALP blood activity was significantly higher in group 4 compared to group 2. The blood GGT activity was significantly higher in group 4 compared to other groups. There was a significant positive association between milk LDH, ALP, and GGT enzymes as well as the blood enzymes (ALP and GGT) in SCM cows. The results showed that subclinical mastitis causes considerable changes in the activities of enzymes in milk and blood of infected cows.Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je odrediti aktivnosti enzima laktat dehidrogenaze (LDH), alkalne fosfataze (ALP), gama-glutamil transferaze (GGT), aspartat aminotransferaze (AST) i alanin aminotransferaze (ALT) u mlijeku i krvi holstein krava u laktaciji i utvrditi njihovu povezanost sa supkliničkim mastitisom (SCM). Jedan od ciljeva studije bio je, također, na temelju rezultata kalifornijskog testa na mastitis (CMT) procijeniti utjecaj stupnja SCM-a na aktivnost spomenutih enzima, kao i utvrditi učinkovitost njihove upotrebe kao alata za ranu dijagnostiku SCM-a. Trideset mliječnih holstein krava u laktaciji podvrgnuto je dijagnostici CMT-om i sukladno dobivenim rezultatima razvrstano u 4 skupine: kontrolna skupina 1 (bez SCM = 10, rezultat = 0), skupina 2 (slabo pozitivan = 8, rezultat +1), skupina 3 (pozitivan = 7, rezultat +2) i skupina 4 (jako pozitivan = 5, rezultat +3). Aktivnosti enzima LDH, ALP i GGT u mlijeku bile su značajno veće u skupinama 3 i 4 u usporedbi sa skupinom 2 i kontrolnom skupinom. Pri tom su najveće aktivnosti svih enzima zabilježene kod životinja iz skupine 4. Aktivnost LDH bila je značajno veća u skupini 2 u odnosu na kontrolnu skupinu. Srednje vrijednosti aktivnosti LDH i ALP u krvi u skupinama s potvrđenim SCM bile su značajno veće od kontrolne skupine. Aktivnost ALP u krvi bila je značajno viša u skupini 4 u usporedbi sa skupinom 2. Aktivnost GGT u krvi bila je značajno viša u skupini 4 u usporedbi s ostalim skupinama. Utvrđena je značajna pozitivna povezanost između aktivnosti enzima LDH, ALP i GGT u mlijeku i aktivnosti enzima u krvi (ALP i GGT) kod SCM pozitivnih krava. Rezultati su pokazali da supklinički mastitis uzrokuje izrazite promjene aktivnosti enzima u mlijeku i krvi zaraženih krava
Reliability estimation of balanced systems with multi-dimensional distributed units
Balanced systems with multi-dimensional distributed units are emerging in a diverse range of industries. This includes Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) with multi-level of rotary wings, Spherical Unmanned Vehicles (SUV), Spherical Phased Array Antenna (SPAA), etc. In this dissertation, we present the reliability estimation for such systems. In particular, we consider two configurations: 1) balanced systems with units distributed circularly on multi-level and 2) balanced systems with units distributed spherically.
First, balanced systems with units distributed circularly on multi-level are generalized as (k₁, k₂)-out-of-(n, m) pairs: G balanced systems. We consider two scenarios: 1) all units perform the same function and 2) adjacent pairs perform complementary functions. For both scenarios, unbalanced system is considered as failed. When units fail and cause the system imbalance, we explore two approaches to rebalance the system: 1) forcing down units on other locations and 2) resuming units that are previously forced down (if any). When units in a system perform the same function, operational states are defined as balanced states with at least k₁ operating pairs and each operating pair has at least k₂ units on each side. The system reliability is obtained by enumerating all of the operational states and summing the probabilities of those states. For (k₁, k₂)-out-of-(n, m) pairs: G balanced systems with adjacent pairs performing complementary functions, in addition to maintaining system balance, the adjacent operating pairs are required to perform complementary functions. Thus, if a pair fails, one of the adjacent pairs is forced down. Similarly, the system reliability is obtained by enumerating all of the operational states. It becomes computational expensive when the number of units in each pair and/or the number of pairs are large. In that case, efficient algorithms are developed to obtain the reliability for such systems.
The balanced system with units distributed spherically is generalized as a spherical k-n-i: G balanced system. We consider two balancing requirements: 1) rotational balance is maintained so that the system is not rotating w.r.t. roll, yaw and pitch axes and 2) symmetrical balance is essential in improving the systems’ stability. We present mathematical approaches to determine the balance status of a system. Similarly, the unbalanced system is rebalanced by 1) forcing down units on other locations and 2) resuming previously forced-down units. The system reliability is obtained by the enumeration of operational states and calculation of operational states’ probabilities. We develop an efficient algorithm for reliability estimation when the number of units in the system is large.
Degradation models are developed for the (k₁, k₂)-out-of-(n, m) pairs: G balanced systems to further investigate the system reliability when degradation data are available. The degradation processes of units in the system are either stationary (inverse Gaussian process) or non-stationary (improved inverse Gaussian process). We propose a degradation balance mechanism in which the ‘most’ degraded units are forced down temporarily during the degradation process so that the system is less possible to fail due to imbalance. A closed-form lower bound reliability is presented when the balance mechanism is not applied. When it is applied, reliability is obtained by Monte Carlo simulation.
From the reliability study of the both configurations, it is observed that the reliability of a balanced system with multi-dimensional distributed units depends not only on the system’s total number of units and the least number of operating units, but also on the system configurations and balance requirements. Systems with more units do not necessarily provide a higher reliability since they are more likely to fail due to imbalance. Thus, optimal system design is key to maximize the system reliability which is investigated through numerical examples in this dissertation.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical reference
Analysis of process control baseline data using data mining
There are two phases in multivariate statistical process control (MSPC). In phase I, we model baseline data off-line to characterize the process. Baseline data is a collection of observations describing successful manufacturing. In phase II, we compare on-line observations to these models to determine whether the process is in control. This dissertation addresses four questions to improve phase I analysis: (1) How many operational modes are in baseline data? (2) In a large historical dataset collected over a long time period, which periods are the baseline? (3) In profile baseline data, are there outlier profiles? (4) When should the phase I model be updated?
Each operational mode appears as a cluster in baseline data. To address the first question, we propose a new method to determine the number of clusters with all of the following critical features: it determines if there is only one cluster, the most common case; it identifies convex or non-convex clusters; and it is insensitive to user-specified parameters. No existing method has them all. Simulations show that the proposed method works well.
We propose a new method to address the second question, where historical data may be collected during both baseline and unsuccessful periods. The identified baseline periods are reasonably long, and have the best product quality with a stable distribution. Through simulated and real datasets, the proposed method shows its robustness to various distributions, in contrast to the existing change point identification method that is very sensitive to the distribution.
We address the third question in the context of complex profiles. We treat complex profiles as high-dimension vectors. We apply the control chart to identify outliers. Applied to simulated and real datasets, it demonstrates better performance on complex profiles than the existing nonlinear regression method.
We address the fourth question by testing whether the correlation matrix changes from the baseline. The correlation matrix describes relationships among variables. We propose a new method to diagnose the responsible variables when the change is indicated.
We also discuss the future work of applying MSPC and data mining technologies on data from a brain neural system.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 118-122)
