Regulation of AI Causing Accidental Death
(2023-04-17)This thesis examines how to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) causing accidental death, addressing both liability and regulatory structure. Liability is based on fault – the foreseeability of risk, and the steps taken ... -
Oral microbial populations in obese patients with diverse level of periodontal health status. A sub-analysis of a retrospective cross-sectional study.
Obesity and Periodontitis are associated chronic inflammatory diseases that are proposed to be mediated by dysbiosis within a reduced host-response. Although gut microbiomes shifts have been studied in obesity, little is ... -
Defining the rules of cellular darwinism
(2023-07-28)Cell competition (CC) is an evolutionarily conserved fitness-sensing mechanism, governing tissue composition. Through CC, cells compete for space and nutrients, and their fate is determined by their fitness relative to ... -
The Global Politics of Military Health in Africa
(Queen Mary University of London, 2023)This thesis argues that the role of African militaries in health has been neglected in global health scholarship and that it needs to be understood historically, through the everyday, and as part of Africa’s international ... -
Does Entrepreneurship Pay for Women? A social positioning investigation of entrepreneurial rewards.
Although entrepreneurship is widely promoted as a means of fulfilling personal and economic aspirations and avoiding gendered labour market discrimination, the nature and extent of entrepreneurial rewards for women, and ... -
Cardiovascular Dysfunction and the ATP-Adenosine Axis in Trauma
Introduction Trauma is a significant contributor to global mortality and morbidity. Outcomes have improved over the last several decades, but there are still a population of patients who die after surviving their initial ... -
A conformal approach to the existence and asymptotic properties of solutions to the Einstein field equations
(Queen Mary University of London, 2023)The study of the initial value problem in General Relativity by means of conformal methods was initiated by H. Friedrich in 1986. In this seminal work, the standard conformal Einstein field equations are used to prove the ... -
Sex(uality) in the city: Understanding the impact of locative media technology on queer urban geographies
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017)Whilst the introduction of the internet has made it possible to experience life across great distances, the smartphone allows internet on the move. This project offers a new understanding of how locative media technology ... -
Exploring QoS-QoE: Importance of Cross-Correlated Quality of Service Metrics in Evaluating the User Experience for Various Multimedia Applications
The increasing accessibility of the internet and smart devices has resulted in a surge of traffic for video streaming services, requiring improved network infrastructure to support video on demand and real-time applications ... -
Targeted Peri-implant Crevicular Fluid Biomarkers in Osteoporotic Patients Receiving a Dental Implant
Aims and Objectives: The aim of this pilot study was to describe the protein expression during the early and late stage of osseointegration in the peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) of a cohort of post-menopausal ... -
Reduced Order Models for the Angular Discretisation of the Boltzmann Transport Equation
(2023-04-05)This chapter will present two methods of solver acceleration which aim to reduce the computational cost of converging solutions to the BTE. Both methods utilise the DPOD and RDPOD methods presented in chapters 3 and 4, ... -
Vascularization pattern following peri-implant soft tissue augmentation with connective tissue graft or a collagen matrix
Objective: The objective of the present thesis was to pilot the use of a new cutting-edge technology (laser speckle contrast imaging, LSCI) to describe and characterize the revascularization of peri-implant soft tissues ... -
Longitudinal Study Of COVID-19 In The UK Population (COVIDENCE UK)
Abstract Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is estimated to have caused more than 18 million deaths worldwide as of the end ... -
Investigating the remineralisation and apatite formation potential of a bioactive glass composite and a commercial composite, Cention Forte
Aim: This study aimed to determine ion release properties and apatite formation ability of three composites. Methods: The three composites investigated were an experimental Bioactive-glass composite (BGC), Cention-Forte ... -
Studies On Aspects Of Cell Biology And Metabolism Of The Fallopian Tube
(Queen Mary University of London, 1998)This thesis examines certain aspects of the cell biology and metabolism of the human Fallopian tube. In order to establish an in vitro model of the Fallopian tube a simple technique to culture the epithelial cells of the ... -
Patients’ perspectives and outcomes of involuntary psychiatric hospital admission
(Queen Mary University of London, 2008)Despite much debate on the ethical justification of involuntary treatment in psychiatry, there has been little systematic research on patients’ perspectives and the outcomes of such treatment. This study assessed characteristics ... -
Pro-p-groups and Lie algebras over local fields of characteristic p
(Queen Mary University of London, 1997)It is known that any pro-p-group of finite rank contains an open, normal subgroup which can be given the structure of a Lie algebra over Zp. The group acts on this subgroup by conjugation, and this action commutes with the ... -
Squirrel ecology in a conifer forest in North Wales
(Queen Mary University of London, 2000)At the time of this study (1994 -1999), Clocaenog forest in North Wales had the largest population of red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) in Wales and was probably their last stronghold. However, the 6,000 ha conifer forest ... -
Speed of Fluoride Uptake Studies into Hydroxyapatite and Enamel MAS-NMR
(Queen Mary University of London, 2023)Abstract: Background: There are two potential mechanisms where the fluorapatite can be formed: by acid dissolution of the hydroxyapatite (HAP) and reprecipitation under acidic conditions as fluorapatite, or by simple ion ...
