Enabling wearable soft tactile displays with dielectric elastomer actuators
(Queen Mary University of London, 28/02/2018)Touch is one of the less exploited sensory channels in human machine interactions. While the introduction of the tactile feedback would improve the user experience in several fields, such as training for medical ... -
‘Governing in hard times’: the Heath government and civil emergencies – the 1972 and the 1974 miners’ strikes.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012)This thesis examines how the government of Edward Heath (Prime Minister 1970-74) managed the two most significant domestic political and economic crises which determined both its fate and its long term reputation; first, ... -
Measurement of the Drell{Yan triple-differential cross-section in pp collisions at ps = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-03-22)This thesis presents the measurement and results of the Z= ! + �� Drell{Yan tripledi erential cross-section, using 20:24 fb��1of ATLAS data recorded in 2012 at a centre-of-mass energy of ps = 8TeV. The triple-differential ... -
Metasin: An Intra-Operative Real-Time Quantitative Reverse Transcription Polymerase-Chain Reaction (RTqPCR) Assay to Detect Metastatic Breast Cancer in Sentinel Lymph Nodes
(Queen Mary University of London, 04/04/2014)The most important prognostic factor in breast cancer is the presence or absence of metastases in axillary lymph nodes. Frozen section and touch imprint cytology are conventional intra-operative methods used in the detection ... -
New Physics at the LHC: Direct and Indirect Probes
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-08-07)This thesis presents the results for two searches for new physics performed with the ATLAS experiment. The first, a search for the rare B-meson decay Bs ! and measurement of its branching ratio, uses 25 fb1 of ps = 7 ... -
Supervised dictionary learning for action recognition and localization
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012)Image sequences with humans and human activities are everywhere. With the amount of produced and distributed data increasing at an unprecedented rate, there has been a lot of interest in building systems that can ...
