Constraints on the distribution of subject contact causes
… who or that where the relativized element is the subject (there '5 a girl wants to see you, I have a cousin lives there, he 's not the sort of man would do that) isa construction often noted for having a very limited distribution. This work considers the use of the construction, which is commonly …

Orthogonal cutting of titanium alloys
A method, based on experimental information, of relating the energy required for the orthogonal cutting of titanium alloys with the chip geometry and the mechanical properties of the material, is discussed. The solution is obtained from the extension of the apparent strain analysis of orthogonal …

The mesophase structure of surfactants
The binary surfactant system nona (ethylene glycol) mono-( 11 -oxa- 14,18.22,26-tetramethylheptacosylether) in heavy water has been investigated using deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance, optical polarising microscopy and small angle scattering techniques. The phase diagram has been established …

The effect of solvent damage and fibre waviness on the strength of cross-plied carbon fibre reinforced poly(aryl sulphone)
The effect of damage on carbon-fibre reinforced poly(aryl suiphone) by a solvent of the type used by BAe Military Aircraft Division as a paint stripper has been investigated together with the effect of fibre waviness upon the mechanical strength of carbon-fibre reinforced poly(aryl suiphone). …

Organisation, landowner and farmer management in the conservation of blanket mires
Despite being Britain's most extensive semi-natural habitat, less research has been carried out on blanket mires than on many other habitats. This is possibly a result of their relative inaccessibility, since they are mainly confined to upland areas in England and Wales and remoter parts of …

Meaningful relations: the relational basis of aesthetic judgment and its implications for aesthetic concern in environmental deliberation
The impetus for the research undertaken in this dissertation hinges on concern for the low priority status attached to aesthetic issues in public deliberation on matters concerning environmental and ethical issues. Although interconnected reasons are identified for the prevalence of this attitude a …

Time dependence in fine-particle systems
… analytical studies described in this thesis. The general case of the randomly orientated particles has been studied computationaly due to the complexity of the governing equation. The computational results for the static and dynamic field processes give good qualitative agreement with experiment …

Guanosine 5'-diphosphate 3'-diphosphate (ppGpp), guanosine 5'-diphosphate 3'-monophosphate (ppGp) and antibiotic production in Streptomyces clavuligerus
Streptomyces clavuligerus was grown in nutrient-limited defined media in laboratory scale fermenters using continuous and batch culture methods. Cephamycin C was produced in all fermentations. Clavulanic acid was produced in carbon- and nitrogenlimited continuous culture and in carbon- and …

Intermediate phases of surfactant - water mixtures
Intermediate phases in two non-ionic polyoxyethylene surfactantiD20 systems - nonaethylene glycol mono (1 1-oxa-14,18,22,26-tetramethylheptacosyl) ether (C30E09) and hexaethylene glycol n-hexadecyl ether (C15E05) have been studied. Both systems have a rhombohedral mesh phase with the space group …

Circadian rhythms in Lhc gene expression in pharbitis nil chois
The steady state mRNA levels of Lhc genes in Pharbitis nil were investigated using the wheat Lhcbl *1 (cabi) gene as a heterologous probe. A circadian rhythm in P. nil Lhc gene expression was detected in constant light. This rhythm was initiated or reset to a constant phase by the initial light-on …

An investigation into fluid film lubrication in dynamically loaded bearings
… bearings (i.e. non-conformal contacts) under combined sliding, rolling and normal motion. Difficulties involved in the implementation of this algorithm were investigated in great depth. A new 'improved' method of solution, which is well-suited to the computational analyses of steadily and …

Team Teaching in Japanese Primary Schools: Case Studies of Assistant Language Teachers and Homeroom Teachers
… 2011, English was introduced as a compulsory subject in the ‘Foreign Language Activities’ section of the Japanese primary school curriculum and Japanese primary schools are now required to provide at least 35 hours of English activities per year to fifth and sixth year students. When teaching …

Monte Carlo calculation and analysis of neutron and gamma fields at spallation neutron sources for simulating cosmic radiation
The research of the neutron induced Single Event Effect (SEE) at aircraft altitudes or at ground level are very important since the neutron radiation is able to cause serious errors or damages on electronic components and system. TheWeapons Neutron Research (WNR) facility at Los Alamos Neutron …

The Hosting of Major Sports Events in Developing Countries: What can Kenya Learn from South Africa?
Developed countries have dominated the hosting of major sports events for many decades, however recent years have witnessed cities and nations from ‘developing countries’ bidding to stage and actually hosting these events. This thesis examines the growing interest of developing countries in hosting …

A comparison of Probiotic and Standard yogurt based on branding (premium and basic brands), consumer preference, sensory evaluation, microbiological and nutritional analysis.
Yogurt is a type of dairy product and it is made by the addition of starter cultures like Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. Specific cultures like Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium (probiotic cultures) are also sometimes added to it to make the yogurt probiotic. …

Lived realities of NICU-to-home transition in Malta: The experiences of parents of preterm infants, and of neonatal staff
Preterm birth and the premature infant have been predominately studied from clinical perspectives. The experiences of parenting a preterm child and the experiences of staff directly involved in the care of preterm infants have been studied much less. Additionally, less is known about the meaning of …

The integration of performance analysis approaches within the practice of competitive sports teams
The current body of research has used positivistic approaches to establish performance related variables emerging from various levels of play associated with technical and tactical parameters within elite football. However there is a dearth of knowledge considering how information derived from …

Orthogonal cutting in lubricated conditions
The work investigates the role of cutting fluids in metal cutting and comparas their effectiveness in orthogonal cutting conditions. The basic functions of a cutting fluid are defined and the lubricating function is selected as a feasible measure for comparison. The effectiveness of a cutting fluid …
