T-duality invariant approaches to string theory
(2010)This thesis investigates the quantum properties of T-duality invariant formalisms of String Theory. We introduce and review duality invariant formalisms of String Theory including the Doubled Formalism. We calculate the ... -
Tackling Sexist Hate Speech: Cross-Lingual Detection and Multilingual Insights from Social Media
With the widespread use of social media, the proliferation of online communication presents both opportunities and challenges for fostering a respectful and inclusive digital environment. Due to the anonymity and weak ... -
Tailoring Interaction. Sensing Social Signals with Textiles.
(2022)Nonverbal behaviour is an important part of conversation and can reveal much about the nature of an interaction. It includes phenomena ranging from large-scale posture shifts to small scale nods. Capturing these often ... -
Tailoring titanium dioxide thin films for photocatalysis and energy efficient glazing via dye-sensitised solar cells
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-01-02)This thesis focuses on the synthesis and characterisation of titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films for photocatalytic applications and use in semi-transparent dye-sensitised solar cells for energy efficient glazing. Several ... -
Taking a stance: experimenting with deliberation in dialogue
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-09)Abstract How do people manage disagreements in conversation? Previous studies of dialogue have shown that the interactional consequences of disagreement are not straightforward. Although often interpreted as face-threatening ... -
Taking a Systems Neuroscience Approach to Persistent Postsurgical Pain: Mechanisms, Prediction Tools and Preventive Strategies
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-02-01)Background: Persistent postsurgical pain (PPP) is an increasingly recognised complication of surgery. Various putative risk factors have been identified over the last ten years. However the prevention of this phenomenon ... -
A tale of two studies: threshold radiation in QCD, and the classical double copy
(Queen Mary University of London, 2021)When calculating a fixed order differential cross section in QCD, one must take into account the contribution of threshold radiation, i.e., soft or collinear radiation produced in the threshold limit of the kinematic ... -
A Tale of Two Trees: A Comparative Study on the Effects of Scale and Biodiversity Efforts in Ghana’s Cocoa and Shea Production Networks
(2023)This thesis presents two case studies on Ghana’s cocoa and shea production networks, focusing on the effects of scale on biodiversity sustainability dissemination. Analysis is done through my unique holistic framework for ... -
Tales from the Riverbank: The art of government, policy-making, and politics - an insider’s view
(Queen Mary University of London, 26/08/2019)This thesis examines the development of the Home Affairs policies of the New Labour Government (1997-2010) – specifically in the areas of counter-terrorism, policing, and immigration. Much of the most significant research ... -
The Talking Cure in the ‘Tropics’
(Queen Mary University of London, 13/02/2018)This dissertation examines psychoanalysis in a colonial context, tracing its history in early to mid-twentieth century India. A rich, neglected archive of diaries, letters, administrative documents, as well as psychoanalytical ... -
Tangibility and Richness in Digital Musical Instrument Design
(Queen Mary University of London, 29/04/2019)The sense of touch plays a fundamental role in musical performance: alongside hearing, it is the primary sensory modality used when interacting with musical instruments. Learning to play a musical instrument is one of the ... -
Taper Junctions in modular total hip arthroplasty
(2023)Morse tapers are widely used in modular total hip joint replacements (THRs) to attach the femoral head onto the femoral stem. Despite the success of THR procedures, the taper junction has been associated with failures due ... -
Targeted Differentiation of Pluripotent Stem Cells to Hepatocytes
(2018-07-26)Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) possess the ability to differentiate to virtually any cell type whilst retaining the capacity to self-renew. There is an unmet need for an inexhaustible supply of hepatocytes to perform drug ... -
Targeted Peri-implant Crevicular Fluid Biomarkers in Osteoporotic Patients Receiving a Dental Implant
(Queen Mary University of London, 2023)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 ... -
Targeting 2-Oxoglutarate-Dependent oxygenases in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Haematopoiesis is a life-long process of blood cell production that occurs through strictly regulated self-renewal, proliferation, and differentiation of haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in hypoxic microenvironment of the ... -
Targeting APC loss using synthetic lethality in Colorectal Cancer
(Queen Mary University of London, 2018-07-23)Mutations in the tumour suppressor gene Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) are found in 80 % of sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) tumours and are also responsible for the inherited form of CRC, Familial adenomatous polyposis ... -
Targeting cardiac myosin: a structure-based approach to design conformation-selective modulators.
(2023)Cardiac diseases, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy, are characterized by a complex pathophysiology and current medicinal treatments only provide symptomatic relief. A promising pharmacological ... -
Targeting endothelial cells to improve cancer therapy.
(Queen Mary University of London., 2021-04-29)Antiangiogenic strategies have not provided the cancer control effects predicted from pre-clinical experiments. Obstacles include increasing hypoxia, reducing chemotherapy delivery and acquired resistance. Novel strategies ... -
Targeting FOXM1 as a therapeutic strategy in cancer
(Queen Mary University of London, 2020)The transcription factor Forkhead Box Protein M1 (FOXM1) regulates several genes involved in the cell cycle, DNA repair, and oxidative stress, and is frequently upregulated in cancer cells. Whilst targeting FOXM1 alone ...
