This thesis is an empirical analysis of Jane Fonda’s films, stardom, and political activism during the most commercially successful period of her career. At the outset, Fonda’s early stardom is situated in relation to ...
Influence of electrostatics upon electrospray with the intention of application to colloid thrusters
(Queen Mary University of London, 2011)
A thorough experimental and theoretical characterization of the effect of electrostatics on
the electrospray process, focusing particularly on the flow rate sensitivity to the applied
potential difference (voltage), has ...
On structural aspects of finite simple groups of Lie type
(Queen Mary University of London, 2011)
In this PhD thesis, we consider two problems that are related to finite simple groups
of Lie type. First of them is a problem mentioned in the Kourovka notebook: describe
the finite simple groups in which every element ...
Studies of polymeric membranes modified for amperometric H2O2 and pO2 sensing with needle-type electrodes
(Queen Mary University of London, 2010)
Materials used for medical devices are far from ideal for the body, so polymers are applied
at the outermost region to counteract the body's natural defences. Component-based failures
such as delamination and ...
Modelling and characterisation of antennas and propagation for body-centric wireless communication
(Queen Mary University of London, 2010)
Body-Centric Wireless Communication (BCWC) is a central point in the development
of fourth generation mobile communications. The continuous miniaturisation of sensors,

(Queen Mary University of London, 2010)
Abandoning one‟s mother tongue for another language is one of the most profound aspects of exile experience, often fraught with feelings of loss and alienation. Yet the linguistic switch can also be viewed as an advantage: ...
Microsomal membranes from antigen presenting cells present antigenic peptides to T cells: a novel approach in vaccine development.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2010)
The study of the immune system has provided insight in the
mechanism of protection induced by vaccination; primarily that most
clinically protective vaccines are potent in generating neutralizing antibody
responses. ...
