(Queen Mary University of London, 2014-07-28)This research starts with hackers’ communities, focusing on open processes as the key to volunteer driven cooperation. While theoretically hackers’ communities allow contributions “from each according to their ability”, I ... -
The Haemodynamic effect of the Geko TM Device
(Queen Mary University of London, 2021)Intermittent electrical stimulation of the common peroneal nerve by the Geko device TM has an effect on haemodynamics. The Geko TM is a device, which prevents the formation of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The Geko TM ... -
Haemoglobin level and blood pressure in preterm babies: relationship with mortality and short-term adverse outcomes.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2020)Background: Haemoglobin (Hb) levels as a good indicator of disease severity, various blood transfusion (BT) and blood pressure (BP) management strategies in preterm babies have been proposed; nevertheless, these lack the ... -
Half and quarter BPS operators in N = 4 super Yang-Mills
(Queen Mary University of London, 2020)In this thesis we perform calculations on the CFT side of the duality between N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and type IIB string theory on AdS5 x S5. The results are used to study quantum gravity on AdS. Chapters ... -
Hamiltonian Decompositions and Linear Arboricity of Graphs
Let Γ be a finite abelian group with operation “+ ”and A be a symmetric subset of Γ (if a ∈ A, then −a ∈ A). The Cayley graph Cay(A, Γ) is the graph having the elements of Γ as its vertices and, for all vertices x and y, ... -
Hand Gesture Recognition using a Low-Cost Sensor with Digital Signal Processing
(Queen Mary University of London, 2022-03)Our research concerns a hand gesture recognition framework that makes use of a low cost “off-the-shelf” device. The device is a visual markerless sensor system called the Leap Motion controller (LM). However, before deploying ... -
Handling of Inhaled Particulate Matter by Alveolar Macrophages in Children with Cystic Fibrosis
(Queen Mary University of London, 2020)Background: Children with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) are vulnerable to the effects of inhaled carbonaceous pollutants, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In CF, bacterial phagocytosis by alveolar macrophages (AM) is ... -

(2012)Harlequin ichthyosis (HI), a rare severe form of congenital ichthyosis is caused by recessive mutations in the ABCA12 gene. At birth, affected neonates have widespread, grossly thickened skin, separated by deep red fissures, ... -
Harmonic Sinusoid Modeling of Tonal Music Events
(Queen Mary University of London, 2007-10)This thesis presents the theory, implementation and applications of the harmonic sinusoid modeling of pitched audio events. Harmonic sinusoid modeling is a parametric model that expresses an audio signal, or part of an ... -
Harmonisation and Cybercrime Jurisdiction: Uneasy Bedfellows? An analysis of the jurisdictional trajectories of the Council of Europe’s Cybercrime Convention
(Queen Mary University of London, 2015-09-10)This thesis examines the Council of Europe’s Cybercrime Convention and suggests there is a structural imbalance: while improving the procedures for investigating cybercrimes, it has failed to address the prosecutorial ... -
