Investigations and separation of various contributions to dielectric response of advanced ceramic and polymeric materials

Author(s): Andreja Eršte (Author), Vid Bobnar (Supervisor)

Year: 2013

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Dielectric materials, used to control and store charges and electric energy, play a key role in modern electronics and electric power systems. Dielectric spectroscopy is a versatile method, well-suited for detection, separation and characterization of various contributions to dielectric response of advanced ceramic and polymeric materials, as it enables understanding …

A Modular Ontology of Data Mining

Author(s): Panče Panov (Author), Sašo Džeroski (Supervisor)

Year: 2012

Type: Doctoral dissertation

The domain of data mining (DM) deals with analyzing different types of data. The data typically used in data mining is in the format of a single table, with primitive datatypes as attributes. However, structured (complex) data, such as graphs, sequences, networks, text, image, multimedia and relational data, are receiving …

Parameter Identification in Nonlinear Dynamic Systems with Meta-heuristic Approaches

Author(s): Katerina Tashkova (Author), Sašo Džeroski (Supervisor), Jurij Šilc (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2012

Type: Doctoral dissertation

The task of mathematical modeling of dynamic systems from observed system behavior, widely known under the name of system identification, breaks down into two subtasks. The first task, referred to as structure identification, is to specify the model structure, i.e., the functional form of the model. In practice, the model …

Analysis of results of ecological simulation models with machine learning

Author(s): Aneta Trajanov (Author), Sašo Džeroski (Supervisor)

Year: 2010

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Simulation models are a widely used tool for modelling and simulating systems for which it is hard to obtain real data. However, the simulation models are usually complex and it is not an easy task to induce new knowledge and find relationships and dependencies among different parts (parameters, processes, modules) …

Monitoring of the product quality in manufacturing industries

Author(s): Jani Kleindienst (Author), Đani Juričić (Supervisor)

Year: 2009

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Unexpected production breakdowns and unpredictable defects in product quality remain critical problems in modern manufacturing systems. Usually occuring by no obvious exterior cause and often during periods of smooth production, they lead to production losses and reduced process availability, which results in lower profit rates. Conventional statistical methods of process …

Dynamic Modeling of Climate Change Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Reduction with Renewable Energy in Kosovo

Author(s): Skender Kabashi (Author), Ivo Šlaus (Supervisor), Aleksander Zidanšek (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2009

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Atmospheric concentration of CO2 and other greenhouse gases (GHG) is higher than any time in the last 400000 years and growing faster than at any time in the past 18000 years. The high concentration of GHG generates radiative forcing that contributes to climate change. Energy production from fossil fuels has …

Mass Balance of Mercury in the Idrijca River Catchment

Author(s): David Kocman (Author), Milena Horvat (Supervisor)

Year: 2008

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Mercury (Hg) pollution has been investigated in the area of the Idrija mercury mine, Slovenia, where the second largest mercury mine in the world operated for more then 500 years. Although the production of mercury at the Idrija mercury mine stopped in 1994, centuries of mining and ore processing operations …
