The agriculture sector faces numerous challenges in meeting the demands of a growing global population while managing resource constraints, labour shortages and environmental sustainability. This thesis presents a multi-agent ... -
Multi-Core Memory System Design : Developing and using Analytical Models for Performance Evaluation and Enhancements
Memory system design is increasingly influencing modern multi-core architectures from both performance and power perspectives. Both main memory latency and bandwidth have im-proved at a rate that is slower than the increase ... -
Multi-layered Composite Structures for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Applications
With the recent surge in the usage of electronic devices, electromagnetic interference (EMI) poses a serious threat. Unwanted electromagnetic (EM) waves not only interfere with the normal functioning of electronic components, ... -
Multi-scale Modelling of Immune Response and Disease Spread: Methods and Applications
Diseases are multi-scale processes, with the precise combination of events at different scales both qualitatively and quantitatively dictating the final phenotype. Recognising that immune response is a key determinant of ... -
Multielectron Bubbles : A Curved Two-dimensional Electron System in Confinement
(2018-06-15)Electrons are weakly attracted to liquid helium due to the small but finite polarizability of helium atoms. However, they cannot enter the liquid unless their energy is more than 1 eV, due to the Pauli exclusion principle. ... -
Multiplexing Nanoplasmonic Sensors
Complex biological samples such as serum contain thousands of proteins and other molecules spanning up to 13 orders of magnitude in concentration. Present measurement techniques such as protein microarrays and quantum dot ... -
