Direct sequential system assemblage
Decisions made during the building process have the opportunity to both inform the next set of decisions and provide unexpected and possibly positive features in the final project. Thus, working beyond the minimum definition at each size will provide a more rich environment for the next ... This …

Foreign direct investment and corruption
… to investigate the relationship between foreign direct investment and corruption and identify the determinants of corruption itself. As tolerance towards corruption tends to vary from country to country, countries are disaggregated into developed economies and developing economies. Additionally, …

Tri-helical direct gravure coating
Tri-helical, gravure roll coating, operated in reverse mode, is investigated via a combined experimental, theoretical and computational approach. New experiments were conducted on a pilot coating rig, designed to simulate the industrial process. Flow visualisations reveal the underlying flow …

Direct current hybrid vacuum breaker
Hybrid DC circuit breaker switching techniques have been proposed for use in multi-terminal HVDC networks, to create an efficient, reliable and controllable system. There are two DC hybrid switching techniques. The first is arc interruption based on current oscillation. The second is interruption …

Direct UV-written waveguide devices
… concerning waveguide structures based on the direct UV and direct grating writing fabrication techniques. The latter approach allows simultaneous definition of waveguide structures and Bragg gratings.<br/><br/>The first result of this work describes the fabrication and characterisation of …

Novel direct UV written devices
… is an investigation into the production of Direct UV-written channel waveguides on the perimeter of a cylindrical substrate. Cylindrical waveguides were produced using variants of the Modified Chemical Vapour Deposition (MCVD) and Flame Hydrolysis Deposition for the fabrication of thin films …

Contracting in Direct Asset Sales
<p>Using a unique, hand-collected dataset of direct asset sales agreements in the SEC filings, I provide the first large-sample evidence on how contracting mechanisms are used to mitigate information frictions in these important transactions. The conflict of interests is unique because the scarcity …

Direct Chemiluminescence From Secondary Peresters
The laser dye Coumarin 343, 1H,5H,11H- (1) -benzopyrano- (6,7,8-ij) quinolizin-10-carboxylic acid-11-one-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-11-oxo, 1, was prepared. Several secondary peresters of 1 were generated in situ and the chemiluminescence observed from the decomposition of the peresters was studied. The …

A direct current differential relay
In a grounded direct current system, motor faults may occur which will not be indicated by ordinary protective devices, but which will affect motor operation or create unsafe conditions. All such faults are manifested by the fact that the current in one lead supplying the motor will be greater than …

Evaluation of direct PCR for forensic DNA profiling and the development of a direct PCR multiplex
The use of direct PCR with different types of sample was explored in this study. Genomic DNA preparations at various concentrations and buccal cell counts were deposited on commonly encountered substrates, recovered and amplified using direct PCR before subjecting them to capillary electrophoresis. …

Aid-Foreign Direct Investment Linkages: A Case Study of Aid and Foreign Direct Investment in Uganda.
Whilst many hold to the orthodox view that aid can promote the take-off to long-term self-sustaining growth and development in recipient countries as Rosenstein-Rodan (1961), Chenery and Strout (1966) and others have hypothesised, it is far from being realised in SSA economies. This has provoked …

Direct Power Control of AC Motors
In this thesis, the possibilities of direct power control (DPC) of induction motors (IMs) and permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) fed by a voltage source inverter have been studied. Three different approaches of DPC for IMs and one for PMSMs are proposed and investigated. They are: (a) …
