Overviews and their effect on interaction in the auditory interface.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2013)Auditory overviews have the potential to improve the quality of auditory interfaces. However, in order to apply overviews well, we must understand them. Specifically, what are they and what is their impact? This thesis ... -
Ownership Structure and Firm Performance: An Empirical Analysis of the Listed Firms in China
(Queen Mary University of London, 2021)The thesis aims to investigate the relationship between the ownership structure and listed firms' performance in the Chinese business group. In this thesis, I firstly contribute to the ownership structure literature by ... -
Oxidative Stress-Mediated YAP Dysregulation Contributes to the Pathogenesis of Pemphigus Vulgaris
(2023)Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV) is a life-threatening mucocutaneous blistering autoimmune disease caused by autoantibodies targeting desmoglein-3/1 (Dsg3/1). Despite many studies, the pathogenesis of PV remains incompletely ... -
Oxygen therapy in respiratory disorders
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012)Oxygen therapy remains a cornerstone of medical practice and is generally regarded as being safe. However, there is a lack of clinical evidence to support the routine use of oxygen therapy, and in certain conditions, ... -
Packet level measurement over wireless access
(2011)Performance Measurement of the IP packet networks mainly comprise of monitoring the network performance in terms of packet losses and delays. If used appropriately, these network parameters (i.e. delay, loss and bandwidth ... -
Palaeoeology sedimentology and depositional environments of the middle lias of North Yorkshire.
(Queen Mary University of London, 1984)The shallow marine Yorkshire Middle Lias (Lower Jurassic) sequence comprises two formations, the lowermost (Staithes Formation) consisting of interbedded bioturbated siltstones and thin sheet sandstones and the uppermost ... -
Parallelization solutions for the YNANO Discontinua Simulations.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-05-09)In the context of constant and fast progresses in nano technology, discontinua based computation simulations are becoming increasingly important, especially in the context of virtual experimentations. The efficiency ... -
Parameter Search for Aesthetic Design and Composition
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-04-13)This thesis is about algorithmic creation in the arts – where an artist, designer or composer uses a formal generative process to assist in crafting forms and patterns – and approaches to finding effective input parameter ... -
Parameter-less Late Acceptance Hill-climbing: Foundations & Applications.
(Queen Mary University of London., 2021)Stochastic Local Search (SLS) methods have been used to solve complex hard combinatorial problems in a number of elds. Their judicious use of randomization, arguably, simpli es their design to achieve robust ... -
THE PARANASAL AIR SINUSES IN THE HUMAN: An Anatomical Assessment using Helical Multislice Computed Tomography. Applications to Human Forensic Identification.
(Queen Mary University of London, 24/01/2018)Introduction: Forensic pathologists may be asked to identify the race group or sex of a cranium of unknown origin. Race group refers to geographic ancestry and sex is biological sex. An analysis of the volumes and measurements ... -
Parasite Distribution and Specificity in Anuran Host Complexes.
(Queen Mary University of London, 1994-06)This study was based on the parasite fauna of three anuran systems. In two of the systems; the spadefoot toads, Scaphiopus bombifrons and S.multiplicatus and the fire and yellow-bellied toads, Bombina bombina and ... -
Parasite-mediated eco-evolutionary dynamics in evolving communities
(2023)The field of eco-evolutionary dynamics is expanding rapidly, with growing evidence suggesting that the interplay of ecological and evolutionary processes influences species’ interactions and coexistence. While eco-evolutionary ... -
The Partial Order Kernel and its Application to Understanding the Regulatory Grammar of Conserved Non-coding Elements
(Queen Mary University of London, 13/01/2019)Conserved non-coding elements (CNEs) are regions of non-coding DNA which have remained evolutionarily conserved across various species over millions of years and are found to cluster near genes involved in early embryonic ... -
Particle acceleration and transport in collisionless plasmas.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2019)Most astrophysical systems depend crucially on the dynamics of collisionless plasmas. An important property of such plasmas is the possibility to generate energetic particles, that are ubiquitously observed in our universe. ... -
Particle acceleration with associated generation and absorption of electromagnetic radiation in solar plasmas
(Queen Mary University of London, 25/03/2014)The heating of solar chromospheric internetwork regions is investigated by means of the absorption of electromagnetic (EM) waves that originate from the photospheric black body radiation. It is studied in the framework of ... -
