Dynamic processes on complex networks : from disease spreading to neural activity
The study of dynamic processes that take place on heterogeneous networks is essential to better understand, forecast, and manage human activities in an increasingly connected world. In this Thesis, we elucidate the role of the network topology as well as the nature of the underlying processes in a …

Mid-IR Imaging and Multivariate Analysis of Dynamic Processes in Pharmaceutically Relevant Microparticles
Sustained release microparticles used for parenteral drug delivery must be well characterized in terms of their size range, morphology and function. It is widely understood that the chemistry and morphology of microparticles have a degree of interdependence which strongly affects drug release …

Development and application of chemical tools for investigating dynamic processes in cell migration
Cell migration is a dynamic process essential for many fundamental physiological functions, including wound repair and the immune response. Migration relies on precisely orchestrated events that are regulated in a spatially and temporally controlled manner. Most traditional approaches for studying …

The structure of epithermal deposits of the Coromandel Peninsula : dynamic processes and three-dimensional strain
… at a number of scales that illustrate the varied processes involved in their formation. Structural information synthesised from existing literature, including the theses on different parts of the Coromandel Peninsula suggests that there is widespread tilting towards the east and south throughout …

The Connection of Composition, Structure, and Dynamic Processes to Tendon Mechanics: Structure-Function Relationships in Collagen V Deficient Tendons
… addition, tendons undergo a coordinated set of dynamic responses, specifically collagen uncrimping, re-alignment, sliding and deformation, within the matrix. To date, a complete understanding of the hierarchical structure-function relationships in tendon is lacking. Therefore, the overall goal …

Determining habitat and biotic factors driving puma (<i>Puma concolor</i>) space use and underlying dynamic processes (colonization and extinction) over 20 years in protected and private areas throughout Belize, Central America
Despite being a top carnivore, there is relatively scant information on pumas (<i>Puma concolor</i>) in the neotropics especially compared to the more well-studied jaguar (<i>Panthera onca</i>). Understanding long-term puma distribution can affect land management decisions such as appropriate size …

Motion in the solid state studied by NMR and extended time scale MD simulation
The ability to characterise dynamic processes in the solid state is crucial to our understanding of many important materials. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are two, highly complementary techniques that can be used in this pursuit, with NMR providing robust …
