Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking in Five Dimensions
(2011)In this thesis we focus on the construction of models in which a supersymmetry breaking hidden sector is located on one fixed point of an extra dimensional interval and the effects are gauge mediated across this interval ... -
Gauge theory effective actions from open strings
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014-09-22)In an introductory chapter, a summary of the construction of string theories is given, for both the bosonic string and the RNS superstring. Relevant mathematical technology is introduced, including super-Riemann surfaces. ... -
Gauge/gravity duality beyond the planar limit
(2009)One of the most exciting and successful ideas pursued in string theory is gauge/gravity duality. We consider the example of the AdS/CFT correspondence, which maps maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills (N = 4 SYM) in four ... -
Gauss-Bonnet Theories of Gravity in Four Dimensions
(2023)In this thesis, we discuss Gauss-Bonnet theories of gravity, with a focus on the topic of 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, which has been the subject of considerable interest over the past years. The thesis begins with a ... -
Gaussian Process Modelling for Audio Signals
(Queen Mary University of London, 04/10/2019)Audio signals are characterised and perceived based on how their spectral make-up changes with time. Uncovering the behaviour of latent spectral components is at the heart of many real-world applications involving sound, ... -
GAUSSIAN SEAM-MODE CIRCUITS FOR, MILLIMETRE WAVELENGTHS
(Queen Mary University of London, 1985)Although the Maxwell equations govern the propagation of EM waves at all frequencies, the methods required to generate, direct, analyse and detect radiation differ from band to band. This thesis is concerned with the ... -
Gender and ethnic diversity management within the Speech and Language Therapy profession in the UK
The UK’s Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) workforce is predominantly White and female. Drawing on scholarship about workforce diversity issues and its management, SLT and the UK health sector were explored. SLT workforce ... -
Gender and sexuality in non-traditionally female work: an intersectional analysis of the experience of women in different occupational groups in the UK construction and transport industries
(Queen Mary University of London, 2011)Intersectionality is a much-debated concept within gender and race studies, but there are few empirical studies that operationalise the concept in examining work organisations and occupational careers. This thesis applies ... -
Gender Inequalities and Scarring Effects in School to Work Transitions
(Queen Mary University of London, 2018-07-10)This thesis investigates issues related to gender inequalities and scarring effects in school to work transitions. The first chapter analyses the gender earnings gap among Italian college graduates at the beginning of ... -
Gender inequalities in India’s new service economy: a case study of the banking sector
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012)This study explores women’s experiences of work and employment in the banking sector in India, addressing the paucity of research in this area. The research assesses how the assumptions of theories on gender, work and ... -
Gender, Agency, and Life Cycle in the Italian Émigrée Experience: The Letters of Luisa Donati Strozzi, 1466–1510
This thesis examines the letters of the Florentine patrician Luisa Donati Strozzi (1434–1510). It provides the first critical analysis of this vernacular-authored correspondence as a case that allows the close study of the ... -
Gender, race and the social construction of leadership in organisations: A South African case study
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-03-16)This thesis aims to provide a subjectivist account of women and people of colour’s leadership experiences within a specific social context, in order to offer a contribution to the largely acontextual leadership literature. ... -
Gendered L1 attrition and L2 acquisition of pitch range in Japanese-English sequential bilinguals
(2021)This project investigated pitch range production in Japanese-English female and male sequential bilinguals. This language combination was chosen because high pitch level has been claimed to index femininity in Japanese ... -
Gene expression profiling of head and neck cancer
(Queen Mary University of London, 2004)The purpose of this study was to classify oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) based on their gene expression profiles, to identify differentially expressed genes in these cancers, and to correlate genetic deregulation ... -
General circulation modelling of close-in extrasolar giant planets
(Queen Mary University of London, 2011)A large fraction of the extrasolar planets detected so far are giant planets that have such short orbital periods (a few days) that they are thought to be tidally-synchronised with the host star. Such orbits lead to ... -
General size effect in the Hall-Petch effect and in micromechanical deformation
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-06-29)This thesis is a study of the size effect. Improvements on both theoretical work and experimental design are involved in this thesis. The theoretical section focuses on the grain size effect, while the experimental section ... -
Generalisation with sparse evidence: the role of predispositions and experience
(2022)Generalisation is an important part of learning in many species. It enables learners to build new knowledge from previous experience and allows them to adapt to novel situations (Banich & Caccamise, 2011; Dehaene, 2020). ... -
Generalized Conditional Entropies and Applications to Channel Ordering and Design
(2023)Generalized conditional entropies (GCEs) are a fundamental concept in the field of Quantitative Information Flow (QIF), the field concerned with quantifying information leakage in security systems. Different entropies ... -
Generating Molecularly-Controlled Biomaterials Using Host-Guest Guided Peptide Amphiphile Self-Assembly
(Queen Mary University of London, 2020-04-28)Supramolecular chemistry offers a unique opportunity to assemble biomaterials with molecular precision. Though biomaterials based on self-assembling peptides often exhibit limited control over their hierarchical assembly, ... -
Generating Uniformly-Distributed Random Generalised 2-designs with Block Size 3
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012-12)Generalised t-designs, defined by Cameron, describe a generalisation of many combinatorial objects including: Latin squares, 1-factorisations of K2n (the complete graph on 2n vertices), and classical t-designs. This new ...
