Community ecology and population dynamics of the European native oyster (Ostrea edulis) in Essex, UK: A baseline for the management of the Blackwater, Crouch, Roach and Colne Estuaries Marine Conservation Zone
Following the designation of the Blackwater Crouch Roach and Colne Estuaries Marine Conservation Zone (hereafter BCRC.MCZ) in 2013, there is now a legal obligation to “protect and enhance” remaining stock of the European native oyster, Ostrea edulis. Despite this, little is known about the current …

Factors associated with stiff knee gait in cerebral palsy
… with SKG. The key determinants of which are a crouch positioning of the lower limb in stance phase and spasticity within the knee extensors. Additionally, secondary analysis highlighted the importance of the knee extensors inner/outer range strength ratio. Greater weakness in inner range was …

Numerical modeling of mixed mode multiple crack propagation and its application to the simulation of nonlinear rock deformation and borehole breakout
… to the displacement discontinuity code of Crouch and Starfield (Crouch & Starfield, 1983). The most important modifications include modifying the boundary element for the calculation of stress intensity factors, adding Coulomb friction for closed portions of cracks, adding a crack …

Meeting Like This: Dramaturgies of Encounter in the Context of the Climate Crisis
This thesis studies four artists – Tim Crouch, David Finnigan, Zoë Svendsen, and Mojisola Adebayo – who offer alternatives to what the thesis will call ‘deficit models’ of climate-engaged theatre, and the unequal, unidirectional and explanatory dynamics they suppose. Through interviews with these …

Building a knowledge based simulation optimization system with discovery learning
… of this research expands upon the ideas by Crouch for building a "Learner" to improve heuristics in simulation over time. The particular case of parameter-modification learning is developed and illustrated by example. The dissertation concludes with limitations and suggestions for future …

Event Planners' Ratings Of Destination Selection Variables: A Comparison Between Members Of Three Professional Association Groups
… criteria that are important to event planners (Crouch & Ritchie, 1998; Getz, 2003; Oppermann, 1996). However, an examination of the previous studies indicated that only limited understanding of the destination selection criteria has been provided. There is little research that compares event …

The endangered European native oyster Ostrea edulis (L) and creation of Marine Conservation Zones: a win – win scenario for fisheries and conservation?
… the 282 km2 area known as the Blackwater, Colne, Crouch & Roach recommended MCZ (BCCR). This showed that population aggregations were restricted to four main areas. Size structure within two of these four areas showed a significant lack of <40 mm (shell length) individuals. The highest densities …

The transience of the interior self: Exploring the lost Real within a creative visual praxis
… It is within the reflexive praxis model (Crouch, 2007; 2012) that the critical examination unfolds. The investigation of works by artists who influence my practice, such as Anna Gaskell, Bill Viola, Mike Parr and Robbie Cooper are essential in further developing this approach and provide …

The effect of backpack load on trunk kinematics of imitated pathological gait: a case study
… two trials each of 4 gait styles (typical, crouch, toe, and jump gait), under unloaded and backpack-loaded conditions. Trials were recorded and digitized using a 12-camera motion analysis system. The loaded conditions utilized a student backpack weighted at 20% of the participant’s body …

From hierarchical to horizontal Europeanization: assessing twinning and NGO cooperation in Southeast Europe
Despite deficient institutional practices, political resistance, and lagging public support for European Union (EU) membership, as well as the presence of two existential EU crises—the euro crisis and migration crisis—, the states of Southeast Europe (SEE) continue to adapt their domestic policies, …

Adult Neural Stem Cells and Their Perivascular Niche
Stem cells reside in specialized niches that support their selfrenewal and differentiation. A balance between intrinsic and extrinsic signals mediates stem cell quiescence, activation and proliferation. In the mammalian subventricular zone (SVZ), the stem cells are a subset of GFAP+ astrocytes. A …

A Boundary Element Method for Thermo-poroelasticity with Applications in Rock Mechanics
… particularly suitable for crack-shaped problems (Crouch and Starfield, 1983). A combine FS-DD model is developed to take advantage of the strengths of both FS and DD methods. The boundary integral equations, fundamental solutions, and the numerical implementations for the development of this model …
