THE SACRAMENTAL VISION OF GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS AND DAVID JONES
(Queen Mary University of London, 1990)This thesis examines the nature of what I have termed "the sacramental vision" of Gerard Manley Hopkins and David Jones: it is an exploration of the mutually sustaining relationship between poetry and religion; or, as ... -
Safety and Efficacy of Bone Marrow Derived Progenitor Cells in Patients with Chronic Ischaemic Heart Failure
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012)Bone marrow stem/progenitor cell (BMSC) therapy for cardiac repair in humans is yet to fulfil the exciting potential demonstrated in preclinical experiments. This thesis presents three clinical studies addressing some ... -
Safety Talk and Service Culture: Flight Attendant Discourse in Commercial Aviation.
(Queen Mary University of London., 2012-08)The discourse of commercial aviation flight attendants has historically received no sociolinguistic attention. To address this gap, this thesis explores how flight attendants use language in workplace-related contexts ... -
'Said to be a writer' : tradition, gender and identity in the poetry of Charlotte Mew.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2002)This thesis studies the poetry of Charlotte Mew (1869-1928) and explores how this still relatively obscure poet, writing at the turn of the last century, has a key role in any discussion of poetic tradition and ideas of ... -
The salon and the stage : women and theatre in seventeenth-century France
(Queen Mary University of London, 2001)This thesis is a study of the links between female emancipation and the theatre in seventeenth century France. Since both were considered problematical by some religious moralists, the discussion is situated in the context ... -
Sample size calculations for cluster randomised trials, with a focus on ordinal outcomes.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-05-16)Background A common approach to sample size calculation for cluster randomised trials (CRTs) is to calculate the sample size assuming individual randomisation and multiply it by an inflation factor, the design effect. ... -
“Samuel Pepys, the Restoration Public and the Politics of Publicity”
(Queen Mary University of London, 2013-09)This thesis is situated in three fields of academic research. The first is the on-going reconceptualization of early modern political history conducted under the title of ‘post-revisionism’. Within this field of research, ... -
Saudi Arabia : the duality of the legal system and its implications on Financial Related Transactions
(Queen Mary University of London, 2007)Saudi Arabia is moving towards a “free market” economy. This policy shift is consistent with the prevailing developmental views of the major international financial and economic institutions and of the major industrialised ... -
Saudi female bilingual EFL teachers’ code-switching: from beliefs to community of practice
(Queen Mary University of London, 2023)Although several studies on classroom code-switching exist in the global context, certain gaps in the literature in the Saudi context remain, particularly with respect to teachers’ identities and positioning in relation ... -
Saving Spitalfields : the politics of opposition to redevelopment in East London.
(Queen Mary University of London, 1991)This thesis is an examination of the opposition to the redevelopment of a fruit and vegetable wholesale market in Spitalfields, east London. I argue that such opposition has not received the attention it deserves in the ... -
Scalable Deep Learning Architecture Design.
(Queen Mary University of London., 2021-02-08)The past decade has witnessed a rapid development in deep learning research which has enabled remarkable progress on a wide spectrum of computer vision tasks, such as object recognition, segmentation, and detection. One ... -
Scalable Image Retrieval based on Hand Drawn Sketches and their Semantic Information
(Queen Mary University of London, 26/11/2014)The research presented in this thesis aims to extend the capabilities of traditional content-based image retrieval systems, towards more expressive and scalable interactions. The study focuses on machine sketch understanding ... -
Scalable Video Streaming with Prioritised Network Coding on End-System Overlays
(Queen Mary University of London, 05/05/2014)Distribution over the internet is destined to become a standard approach for live broadcasting of TV or events of nation-wide interest. The demand for high-quality live video with personal requirements is destined to grow ... -
Scattering Amplitudes and Form Factors in Effective Field Theories
(2023)The central theme of the thesis is the application of modern on-shell techniques to compute Scattering Amplitudes and Form Factors in various Effective Field Theories. In particular, we apply such techniques in the context ... -
Scattering Amplitudes from Rational Maps and Correlators in AdS/CFT
(2023)This thesis focuses on novel techniques of computing scattering amplitudes and correlation functions in quantum field theories. We begin with the twistor formulation of amplitudes in six dimensions (6D), which compute ... -
Scattering Transform for Playing Technique Recognition
(Queen Mary University of London, 2021)Playing techniques are expressive elements in music performances that carry important information about music expressivity and interpretation. When displaying playing techniques in the time–frequency domain, we observe ... -
THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR THE MODELLING OF CARIES PREVENTIVE STRATEGIES
(Queen Mary University of London, 1997-09)The decline in dental caries in many industrialised countries has prompted a reassessment of preventive strategies for dental caries. Although methods to prevent dental caries are well established, few data exist on ... -
A screen for iron metabolism genes that influence circadian rhythms implicates Ferritin 2 Light Chain Homologue in the Drosophila clock
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012)Heme has been previously implicated in the function of the mammalian circadian clock but there has been no systematic investigation into the interplay between iron homeostasis and circadian rhythms. I have addressed this ... -
Sea-level changes in south east England and northern France
(Queen Mary University of London, 2002)The aim of the research was to provide new sea-level index points,with the intention of identifying any cross-channel similarities and comparing the results to geophysical models of relative sea-level change. The research ... -
