ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Outliers may be defined as observations that are sufficiently aberrant to arouse the suspicion of the analyst as to their origin. They could be the result of human error, in which case they should be ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a routing technology which can manage Quality of Service (QoS) in scalable connectionless networks using relatively simple packet forwarding mechanisms. This ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Internet is evolving into a commercial platform requiring enhanced protocols and an expanded physical infrastructure allowing a better delivery from IP. Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Let A and B be unital complex Banach algebras with identities 1 and I' respectively. A linear map T : A -+ B is invertibility preserving if Tx is invertible in B for every invertible x E A. We say that ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Routing policies for packet-switched communication networks must be able to adapt to changing traffic patterns and topologies. We study the feasibility of implementing an adaptive routing policy using ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The science of signature verification is concerned with identifying individuals by their handwritten signatures. It is assumed that the signature as such is a unique feature amongst individuals and the ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis implements and evaluates two prediction techniques used to forecast deterministic chaotic time series. For a large number of such techniques, the reconstruction of the phase space ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Internet has experienced tremendous growth in the last three decades and has emerged as a platform to carryall forms of communications including voice, video and data. Along with this growth came ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: While research and population surveys in HIV/AIDS are well established in developed countries, Sub-Saharan Africa is still experiencing scarce HIV/AIDS information. Hence it depends on results obtained ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this thesis we study the underlying mathematical principles of stationary subdivision, which can be regarded as an iterative recursion scheme for the generation of smooth curves and surfaces in ...
