Racialised ‘price tag’: Intersectional commodification of Central and Eastern European workers in the UK labour market
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014-01-22)This thesis explores the intersectional commodification of migrant labour from post-socialist EU Accession 8 (A8) countries and its effects on Polish and Slovenian migrant workers in the UK. Using historical and macro ... -
Radiation and electron microscope studies on Euglenphyceae
(1977)Two species of Euglena, Euglena gracilis and Eug1ena mutabilis, were cultured with the object of finding the conditions which would give the highest mitotic index at a predictable time. This was done, and the cell-cycle ... -
Radiation characteristics of corner reflector antennas.
(Queen Mary University of London, 1998)This thesis presents a study of the radiation characteristics of corner reflector antennas. The influence of the design parameters on the radiation characteristics are assessed using an analytical method and the Finite ... -
Radio channel characterisation and system-level modelling for ultra wideband body-centric wireless communications
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012)The next generation of wireless communication is evolving towards user-centric networks, where constant and reliable connectivity and services are essential. Bodycentric wireless network (BCWN) is the most exciting and ... -
Radio resource allocation in relay based OFDMA cellular networks
(Queen Mary University of London, 2010)Adding relay stations (RS) between the base station (BS) and the mobile stations (MS) in a cellular system can extend network coverage, overcome multi-path fading and increase the capacity of the system. This thesis ... -
Radio Resource Management based on Genetic Algorithms for OFDMA Networks.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012-01)OFDMA will be the multiple access scheme for next generation networks, including LTE and LTE-A. These networks will provide higher data rates than now, up to several hundred Mbps. These new networks, using a higher carrier ... -
Radiosurgical dosimetry and the CyberKnife system: studies in verification, optimisation and comparison
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012)Safe and effective delivery of radiosurgery demands a steep dose fall-off outside the target, in addition to highly conformal treatment and sub-millimetre overall accuracy. This thesis concerns the CyberKnife system - ... -
Ranavirus ecology in common frogs (Rana Temporaria) from United Kingdom: transmission dynamics, alternate hosts and host-strain interactions.
(2009)The ranaviruses (Family: Iridoviridae) are a group of emerging pathogens in amphibians. Ranavirus(es) were introduced to the UK in the late 1980s and have been associated with mass mortality events in common frogs (Rana ... -
Random graph models for wireless communication networks
(Queen Mary University of London, 2010)This thesis concerns mathematical models of wireless communication networks, in particular ad-hoc networks and 802:11 WLANs. In ad-hoc mode each of these devices may function as a sender, a relay or a receiver. Each ... -
Random Structures
(Queen Mary University of London, 02/02/2015)For many combinatorial objects we can associate a natural probability distribution on the members of the class, and we can then call the resulting class a class of random structures. Random structures form good models of ... -
Rape in International Law.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2020-10-29)Crucial to the prosecution of crimes are the concepts that define them. This thesis critiques an emerging lexicon of rape in international law in order to lay the groundwork for the creation of new models. As part of this ... -
Raphtory: Modelling, Maintenance and Analysis of Distributed Temporal Graphs.
(Queen Mary University of London., 2021-04-21)Temporal graphs capture the development of relationships within data throughout time. This model ts naturally within a streaming architecture, where new events can be inserted directly into the graph upon arrival from ... -

Rapid Access Chest Pain Clinics: characteristics and outcomes of patients from six centres
(2009)Background Despite the widespread proliferation of rapid access chest pain clinics (RACPCs), there remain outstanding questions about their effectiveness. The aim of my thesis is to determine: Aim 1) the variation in the ... -
Rapid and Thorough Exploration of Low Dimensional Phenotypic Landscapes
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-10-10)This thesis presents two novel algorithms for the evolutionary optimisation of agent populations through divergent search of low dimensional phenotypic landscapes. As the eld of Evolutionary Robotics (ER) develops ... -
Rapid pulsation growth at quasi-parallel collisionless shocks.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014-08)The bow shock is a shock wave that forms ahead of the Earth's magnetosphere in the collisionless supersonic flow of the solar wind. The quasi-parallel shock forms when the interplanetary magnetic field makes an angle of ... -
Rate-dependent Mechanical Properties of the Interfaces in Biological Composites
(Queen Mary University of London, 17/11/2015)Biology produces a range of composite structures that evolve to resist a wide range of loading conditions from their environments. The mechanical function of these biological composites is expected to be governed by the ... -
A rational choice approach of Greek-Turkish relations
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012)Explanations of the enduring Greek-Turkish rivalry found upon neorealist and neoliberal assumptions, undercut by epistemological limitations, have been repeatedly falsified by empirical evidence while culturalist accounts ... -
Rational Design of Selective Modulators of Skeletal Myosin
Disrupted interactions between the skeletal myosin motor protein and its partner protein actin in the repeating sarcomere units that make up muscle fibres have been implicated in potentially life-threatening muscular ... -
Re -inventing the "cry for help": attempted suicide in Britain in the mid-twentieth centuary c 1937-1969
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012)After 1945 in Britain there emerges an ‘epidemic’ of ‘attempted suicide’ that is read as not aiming at death exclusively, but is instead a form of communication – a ‘cry for help’. This ‘epidemic’ consists predominantly ...
