    • A game-based approach towards human augmented image annotation. 

      Seneviratne, Attgalage Lasantha Gunathilaka (Queen Mary University of London, 2011)
      Image annotation is a difficult task to achieve in an automated way. In this thesis, a human-augmented approach to tackle this problem is discussed and suitable strategies are derived to solve it. The proposed technique ...

    • Games 4 VRains: Affective Gaming for Working Memory Training in Virtual Reality 

      Gabana Arellano, D (Queen Mary University of London, 05/02/2019)
      The explosion of Virtual Reality (VR) in the last few years, thanks to the introduction of affordable Head-Mounted Displays (HMD), has increased the interest in this technology for research. One of the main research areas ...

    • Gamifying Language Resource Acquisition 

      MADGE, CHRISTOPHER JAMES (Queen Mary University of London, 2020)
      Natural Language Processing, is an important collection of methods for processing the vast amounts of available natural language text we continually produce. These methods make use of supervised learning, an approach ...

    • Gap Formation in Protoplanetary Discs 

      Hallam, Paul (Queen Mary University of London, 19/11/2019)
      In this thesis, we address a wide range of topics revolving around the interactions between a protoplanetary disc and a planet situated within. Initially, we present an overview of the background to protoplanetary disc ...

    • GAPPING AND ITS MECHANISM 

      Kalinin, Aleksandr (Queen Mary University of London, 2020-05-18)
      In my doctoral thesis, I discuss the mechanism of Gapping, which is an ellipsis phenomenon, in English, Russian, and Dutch. In its simplest form, Gapping elides the second occurrence of a finite verb in coordinated clauses: ...

    • GAS PRODUCTION DURING PEAT DECAY 

      Claricoates, Jane (Queen Mary University of London, 1990-09)
      Decay and accumulation of blanket peat in the Northern Pennine region of England are considered, both in quantitative and qualitative terms. Productivity on the surface of these peat bogs is not unusually high, suggesting ...

    • Gas sensing with carbon nanotube networks 

      Morgan, Christopher (2009)
      Carbon nanotubes are an exciting new material with exemplary mechanical and electronic properties. Carbon nanotubes can be either metallic or semiconducting; either type has properties which rival conventional materials. ...

    • Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking in Five Dimensions 

      McGarrie, Moritz (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 

      Playle, Samuel Rhys (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 

      Brown, TW (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 

      Da Silva Fernandes, P (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 

      Wilkinson, W (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 

      Wylde, Richard John (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 

      Begum, M
      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 

      Wright, Tessa (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 

      Granato, Silvia (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 

      Bezbaruah, Supriti (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 ...
