Understanding escape: the development of the British-led escape organisation, the Pat Line, 1940-1942
… the emergence and protraction of British-led escape activities in France during the period 1940-42. From the outset of this research, it quickly became clear that Second World War escape histories had, rather ironically, captured popular imagination. For five years, when explaining the …

Conditioned Helplessness and Human Escape Behavior
The present study was undertaken to determine, first, whether or not "helplessness" can be conditioned in human subjects, and, secondly, the amount of behavioral variability that can be accounted for in terms of locus of control as measured by Rotter's Internal-External control scale (I-E scale).

Escape in Thurber : from delight to delirium
… displacement in the world.</p> <p>The theme of escape in Thurber is useful when placing him in these eras and when judging the quality of his work. The problems of twentieth century living, says Thurber, cannot be solved in a rational, logical manner. The only human response is to avoid, to work …

Mechanically constrained stereotypy in agonid escape responses
… constraints on movement. Focusing on the C-start escape response, I used high-speed video to quantify maximum body curvature and changes in lateral body length during the behavior. To connect scale morphology to flexibility, I measured the length of adjacent lateral scales from micro-computed …

Rates Of Escape Under Iteration Of Analytic Functions
… thesis we focus on sets with a uniform rate of escape under the iteration of transcendental entire functions. We study their properties and their structure as well as using them as a tool to prove some interesting topological results. First, motivated by the work of Rippon and Stallard, we …

Investigating senescence and senescence-escape in cancer cells
… tumour cells and the ability of cancer cells to escape from senescence could potentially lead to therapy resistance and tumour recurrence. While a wide range of chemotherapeutic drugs are known to induce senescence in cancer, the effect of TIS in tumour progression is still not completely …

The narrow escape problem : a matched asymptotic expansion approach
… absorbing window through which the particle can escape. We use the method of matched asymptotic expansions to calculate the mean first passage time, defined as the time taken for the Brownian particle to escape from the domain through the absorbing window. This is known as the narrow escape …
