1. Primitive Direcursion and Difunctorial Semantics of Typed Object Calculus
Abstract : In the first part of this thesis, we contribute to the semantics of typed object calculus by giving (a) a category-theoretic denotational semantics using partial maps making use of an algebraic compactness assumption, (b) a notion of "wrappers'' by which algebraic datatypes can be represented as object types, and (c) proofs of computational soundness and adequacy of typed object calculus via Plotkin's FPC (with lazy operational semantics), thus making models of FPC suitable also for first-order typed object calculus (with recursive objects supporting method update, but not subtyping). It follows that a valid equation in the model induces operationally congruent terms in the language, so that program algebras can be studied. READ MORE

2. Relations in Models of Calculi and Logics with Names
Abstract : In this thesis we investigate two operational models of name-passing calculi: one based on coalgebra, and one based on enriched automata. We develop a semantic framework for modelling the open bisimulation in π-calculus, hyperbisimulation in Fusion calculus, and the first semantic interpretation of FOλ(nabla) logic. READ MORE

4. Modeling and numerical simulation of hydro power flows
Abstract : This work is about high precision numerical water flow simulations of hydro power related applications, and especially draft tube flows. Because of the accuracy requirements for these types of simulations (the efficiency of a hydro power turbine can be over 90%), the work has been devided into several steps; verification, validation and modeling.

5. In the Air Gap of Linear Generators for Wave Power
Abstract : Wave power conversion is one type of renewable electricity generation. Within wave power, there are many different concepts, whereof some utilizes linear generators for converting the energy in the ocean waves into electricity. READ MORE
