Local And Global Explorations Through Design Research
… doctoral thesis is a practice-led and corporate-grounded enquiry into the role of design research methods in a global technology company. The work aims to understand and communicate through a series of case studies how locally conducted participatory action research can be …

Random tilings : gap probabilities, local and global asymptotics
In the thesis we explore and develop two different approaches to the study of random tiling models. First, we consider tilings of a hexagon by rombi, viewed as 3D random stepped surfaces with a measure proportional to q-volume. Such model is closely related to q-Hahn orthogonal polynomial …

Local and global investigations into DEAD-box protein function
… cellular processes, such as gene regulation and tRNA processing, are carried out by structured RNAs. While in vitro most RNAs become kinetically trapped in non-functional misfolded states that render them inactive on a biologically-relevant time scale, RNAs folding in vivo do not share this …

On the local and global properties of information manifolds
… product of probability density functions and the sum of their Fisher information metric tensors. We then utilise this result to give a method for constructing the probability density functions for an arbitrary Riemannian Fisher information metric tensor given its associated Nash embedding. …

Single-Molecule Studies Of Local And Global Nucleic-Acid Dynamics
<p>Nucleic acids undergo both global and local conformational changes that are important for their function. Structural studies have over the decades been invaluable in elucidation of various biomolecular mechanisms, hence contributing significantly to the understanding of biological events. …

Local and Global Sensitivity Analysis of Thin Ply Laminated Carbon Composites
… from very thin plies. Interlaminar shear and normal stress components have been shown to be concentrated on the edges, the so-called edge effect, of unidirectional laminates at the interface between plies of different fiber orientation. Research has shown that decreasing ply thickness can …

Countering Terrorism in the North West Pakistan - Exploring local and global perspectives
This thesis investigates global fight against terrorism in North West Pakistan and Afghanistan from a 21st century perspective in 2018. It focuses on local attitudes towards the War on Terror and their interplay with geo-strategic, regional, international and Pakistan’s domestic landscapes. In …

Impact of the Acute Surgical Unit on a Local and Global Scale
… allocated their staff to elective operative and outpatient commitments, with emergency general surgical (EGS) patients managed ad-hoc. An acute surgical unit (ASU) model was pioneered in 1996 and spread globally. However, uptake remains slow, in part due to clinical equipoise. This thesis …

Local, Semi-Local and Global Models for Texture, Object and Scene Recognition
… the problems of recognizing textures, objects, and scenes in photographs. We present approaches to these recognition tasks that combine salient local image features with spatial relations and effective discriminative learning techniques. First, we introduce a bag of features image model for …

Combining local and global optimization for planning and control in information space
… The POBRM is a two-phase algorithm that combines local and global optimization. In an offline phase, we construct a belief graph by probabilistically sampling points around the features that potentially provide the robot with valuable information. Each edge of the belief graph stores two transfer …

Investigation into the Local and Global Bifurcations of the Whirling Planar Pendulum
… offset. This dynamical system exhibits both local and global bifurcations. The local pitchfork bifurcation leads to the splitting of a single stable equilibrium point into three (two stable and one unstable), as the spin rate is increased. The global bifurcations lead to two independent types …

Am I My Brother’s Keeper? : Local and Global Responsibility in the Digital Age
… is our responsibility towards others, both locally and globally, particularly as it relates to human rights? In a world connected by ever-advancing communications technology and social media, the question of responsibility takes on a greater significance when individuals have the capacity to …

Accelerating Bayesian inference in computationally expensive computer models using local and global approximations
… are an important resource for scientists and engineers. However, many state-of-the-art simulations of physical systems are computationally expensive to evaluate and are black box-meaning that they can be run, but their internal workings cannot be inspected or changed. Directly applying …

Local and global numerical analysis of a porous screen in free-stream flow
… for the analysis of nets, as used in fishing and aquaculture. In such applications, the forces on the net inform operational design and safety choices, whereas the flow past the net relates to the mixing of flow and nutrients in the wake. Most existing analyses of the flow past porous screens …
