CABARET Schemes for improved wave propagation and viscous flow modelling
(Queen Mary University of London, 29/05/2019)The dispersion improved Compact Accurately Boundary Adjusting high- REsolution Technique (CABARET) schemes are presented as an upgrade of the original CABARET for improved wave propagation modeling. The new modification ... -
CAD-based CFD shape optimisation using discrete adjoint solvers
(Queen Mary University of London, 2015-09-22)Computational fluid dynamics is reaching a level of maturity that it can be used as a predictive tool. Consequently, simulation-driven product design and optimisation is starting to be deployed for industrial ... -
CAD-based geometry parametrisation for shape optimisation using Non-uniform Rational B-splines
(Queen Mary University of London, 2018-05-10)With the continuous growth in computing power, numerical optimisation is increasingly applied in shape optimisation using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Since CFD computations are expensive, gradient-based optimisation ... -
Calanus helgolandicus in the western English Channel: population dynamics and the role of mortality
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-08-23)Calanus helgolandicus is a key copepod species occurring in the North East Atlantic that is responding to oceanic warming through an expansion of its geographic range. This range extension has led to concerns about how ... -
Calcification and photosynthesis in montipora sp. (cnidaria) and corallina officinalis (rhodophyceae)
(2006)Over half of the world's calcification is carried out by algae or by organisms which harbour them, such as coccol ithoph ores, foraminiferans, coralline seaweeds and reef-building corals. Calcification acts as a sink ... -
Calcified tissue structure in the distal condyle of the third metacarpal bonein young Thoroughbred horses
(Queen Mary University of London, 2007-12)Aims: To determine improvements in third metacarpal (Mc3) condylar microanatomy attributable to preconditioning exercise. To investigate developmental causes of Mc3 condylar fracture. Methods: Twelve Thoroughbred horses ... -
The Calcitriol Study A Randomised Placebo Controlled Clinical Trial to Test the Effects of Calcitriol in Steroid Resistant Asthma.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2015)Background Over five million people in the UK are receiving treatment for asthma. Corticosteroids (steroids) are the mainstay of asthma therapy but some patients do not respond fully to steroid treatment, they are ... -
Calculation of the Curvature Perturbation During Non-Canonical Multifield Inflation
(Queen Mary University of London, 10/01/2019)In this thesis we study models of inflation with a curved field-space metric. We concern ourselves with the calculation of the statistics of curvature perturbations which is essential for connecting models to observations. ... -
Calibrating the Electromagnetic Calorimeter of T2K
(Queen Mary University of London, 2010-08)In this thesis, I describe the first calibration of the T2K ND280 electromagnetic calorimeter using cosmic muons. T2K is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment whose main aim is to observe for the first time ... -
The campaign for democratic socialism 1960-1964.
(Queen Mary University of London, 1992)In early 1960 it seemed likely that the official Labour Party defence policy would be defeated by a unilateralist resolution at the Scarborough Conference. In response to this possibility the Campaign for Democratic ... -
Can gender-fairness be established in language? An evaluation of the acceptance of language change in a German speech community
(2007)In 1980, the first German proposals for gender-fairness in language were published in Germany. They suggested many gender-fair alternatives to items such as the generic masculine, which were believed to convey androcentric ... -
Can interface conditions be modified by support surfaces to minimise the risk of pressure ulcer development?
(2011)The characteristics of a patient support interface can influence the susceptibility of subjects, particularly there who are immobilised and insensate, to pressure ulcer development. Accordingly, externally powered alternating ... -
Cannabinoids for the control of experimental multiple sclerosis
(Queen Mary University of London, 2010)There have been numerous studies reporting that cannabinoids, both exogenous and endogenous, have a potential beneficial function during incidences of neurological damage. Using gene knockout mice and cannabinoid-selective ... -
Canon Barnett and the first thirty years of Toynbee Hall
(Queen Mary University of London, 1969)This thesis is a study of the changing role which Toynbee Hall, the first university settlement, played in East London between 1884 and 1914. The first chapter presents a brief biography of Sainiel Augustus Barnett, the ... -
Capturing the Whirlwind: Paris Depicted through the Medium of Revolutionary Prints
(Queen Mary University of London, 2013)This thesis is the product of an Arts and Humanities Research Council Collaborative Doctoral Award, the result of which was the production of a catalogue of the Tableaux de la Révolution. Made up of some 500 prints, presented ... -
Carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in insulin resistant states and the development of in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopic techniques for the analysis of gluconeogenesis and glycogen synthesis
(Queen Mary University of London, 1995)This thesis will provide new information on carbohydrate and lipid metabolic control in various related physiological states both in vitro and in vivo in the rat model. Pregnancy is one such state which elicits many ... -
Carbon Black Reinforcement of Tyre Tread Compounds
The tyre industry is the leading consumer of rubber materials, accounting for approximately 70% of annual natural rubber production. The inherent properties and strength of rubber makes it suitable for engineering applications. ... -
Carbon Dioxide Absorption in Metal Organic Frameworks
(Queen Mary University of London, 2015-12-08)With the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) becoming an international worry due its role in climate change, solutions such as CO2 capture and storage technologies are needed to decrease the emissions. The main proportion ... -
Carbon Hybrids Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction Reaction in Fuel Cells
(Queen Mary University of London, 01/03/2019)The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a key reaction in fuel cells and metal-air batteries. This process involves multi-electron transfer and is kinetically sluggish due to the high-energy barriers required to break the ... -
Carbon Management for Sustainable Development: An examination of potential transition paths for the Saudi Arabian ‘national system of innovation’ towards a cleaner energy economy
(Queen Mary University of London, 2013)Since the first industrial revolution, rising carbon emissions have caused harmful effects on our environment. There is a broad consensus that climate change is happening and that it is as a result of anthropogenic ...
