Dynamics of buoyant releases in confined spaces.
… important in applications to hazardous releases. In chapter 5 the effect of the aspect ratio, a, on the 'filling-box' model is investigated. It is found that when the aspect ratio is very large (a > 6) the flow is quite different to that observed in the 'filling-box' case. Theoretical …

Contested rationality: early regulation of GMO releases in Britain
This thesis analyses the development of safety regulation for the intentional release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) between 19 89-92, especially in Britain in its European context, and by contrast to the USA. The thesis emphasizes the practical dilemmas of GMO regulation in accommodating …

Mobile App Releases And Firm Value: Reconciling Conflicting Literature
… on the effect of mobile application (app) releases on firm value. Prior event studies based on mobile app announcement dates show positive abnormal returns on average, and prior event studies based on mobile app release dates show negative abnormal returns on average. These conflicting …

Modeling carbon dioxide particle releases in the deep ocean
This work investigates the environmental impacts of releasing solid CO₂ hydrate particles into the deep ocean for the purpose of CO₂ sequestration. Release of CO₂ in this form may be desirable as hydrate particles are negatively buoyant in seawater, and dissolution of CO₂ enhances this negative …

The informational content of trading statement releases on the JSE
… financial exploitability of trading statement releases for both the regulator and investor. Lack of depth in trading statement history limits sample size and renders traditional earnings expectation models, which rely on comparative period figures, useless. Resultantly, numerous returnbased …

Detection and localization of aerosol releases from sparse sensor measurements
… it is also important to be able to classify the releases as not all contaminants are of interest. For this reason, the second aspect of addressed is feature extraction, a stage where sensor measurements are reduced to a set of pertinent features that can be used as an input to the classifier.

Effects of Reservoir Releases on Slope Stability and Bank Erosion
… bridges and even buildings. Thus, reservoir releases need to also take into account the downstream riverbank stability and erosion issues. The study presented here investigates the riverbank stability and erosion at five study sites representing straight as well as inside and outside channel …

Reservoir compensation releases and the ecology of the River Derwent, Northumberland.
River regulation is commonplace in England and much of the UK. Regulation for the purposes of public water supply causes flows downstream of a reservoir to be attenuated and the flow regime of the channel to be altered. The impact of channel impoundment on a small, upland UK river, has been …

Fluid dynamics of sinking carbon dioxide hydrate particle releases for direct ocean carbon sequestration
One strategy to remove anthropogenic CO₂ from the atmosphere to mitigate climate change is by direct ocean injection. Liquid CO₂ can react with seawater to form solid partially reacted CO₂ hydrate composite particles (pure hydrate plus unreacted CO₂ and water) with densities several percent above …
