A Cross Layer Routing Protocol for OFDMA Based Mobile Ad Hoc Networks.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2013-05)Mobile ad hoc networks are of growing interest because of their unique characteristics and advantages in many practical applications. QoS provision acts as a major challenge in the routing protocol design in the real-world ... -
A cross-layer cooperation strategy for cellular networks.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2013-09)Cooperation is seen as a means to improve the signal in OFDMA wireless networks by overcoming the inter-cell interference. Such co-operation can be deployed in both the physical layer and the MAC layer. In this thesis, a ... -
Effect of Psycho-Pharmacological Modulation of the Autonomic Nervous System on Human Oesophageal Pain Hypersensitivity
(Queen Mary University of London, 14/04/2014)Background: Altered autonomic nervous system (ANS) function has been proposed as a mechanism in the development of central sensitisation (CS) and visceral pain hypersensitivity (VPH). The contribution of the parasympathetic ... -
EFFECTS OF ZINC AND FLUORIDE ON in vitro ENAMEL DEMINERALISATION CONDITIONS RELEVANT TO DENTAL CARIES
(Queen Mary University of London, 10/12/2014)Zinc has been investigated extensively as an anti-plaque and calculus agent. However, its interaction with enamel and its putative role in demineralisation and remineralisation are considerably less understood. In comparison ... -
Energy Efficient Packet Size Optimization for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014-03-02)Energy efficiency is crucial for ad hoc networks because of limited energy stored in the battery. Recharging the nodes frequently is sometimes not possible. Therefore, proper energy utilization is paramount. One possible ... -
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Performance and Emissions in Compression Ignition Engines with Alternative Fuels.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2013)The experimental investigation in this work concerns the compression-ignition (CI) engine combustion process both in normal operation and dual-fuel operation. There is a bulk of literature reporting thermal efficiencies, ... -
Experimental Characterisation of Body-Centric Radio Channels Using Wireless Sensors
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012-10)Wireless sensors and their applications have become increasingly attractive for industry, building automation and energy control, paving the way for new applications of sensor networks which go well beyond traditional ... -
Indoor and Outdoor Location Estimation in Large Areas Using Received Signal Strength
(Queen Mary University of London, 2013-07)Location estimation when deployed on wireless networks supports a range of services including user tracking and monitoring, health care support and push and pull marketing. The main subject of this thesis is improving ... -
Joint Spatial and Spectrum Cooperation in Wireless Network.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2015-03)The sky-rocketing growth of multimedia infotainment applications and broadband-hungry mobile devices exacerbate the stringent demand for ultra high data rate and more spectrum resources. Along with it, the unbalanced ... -
Optimisation of the Lister strain of vaccinia virus for use as an anticancer immunotherapeutic agent
(Queen Mary University of London, 20/01/2015)The premise of this project was to engineer a novel viral platform with the capacity to enhance antitumour immunity. To this effect, the N1L gene was disrupted in a Lister strain vaccinia viral backbone that had previously ... -
Planning Simulation Run Length in Packet Queues in Communications Networks
(Queen Mary University of London, 2013-05)Simulation is a technique of growing importance and is becoming an indispensable tool applied in various academic industries, including packet networks. Simulation provides an alternative research approach to implementing ... -
Radio Resource Management based on Genetic Algorithms for OFDMA Networks.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012-01)OFDMA will be the multiple access scheme for next generation networks, including LTE and LTE-A. These networks will provide higher data rates than now, up to several hundred Mbps. These new networks, using a higher carrier ... -
Regulation of gluconeogenesis in type 2 diabetes mellitus: An investigation of the role of corticosteroids?
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012)Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex disease involving various physiological factors, hormones and metabolites. Over expression of key gluconeogenic enzymes, such as PEPCK, cause features of T2DM including obesity ... -
The Theatre of Death: The Uncanny in Mimesis Tadeusz Kantor, Aby Warburg, and an Iconography of the Actor; Or, must one die to be dead.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2013)The aim of this thesis is to explore an heuristic analogy as proposed in its very title: how does a concept of the “uncanny in mimesis” and of the “theatre of death” give content to each other – historically and theoretically ... -
Threshold Setting Algorithms for Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014-06)As the demand for wireless communication services grows quickly, spectrum scarcity has been on the rise sharply. In this context, cognitive radio (CR) is being viewed as a new intelligent technology to solve the deficiency ... -
Wireless Links for Telecare and Telemedicine Applications using Compact Body-Worn Antennas.
