Rotating, hydromagnetic laboratory experiment modelling planetary cores
This dissertation describes a series of laboratory experiments motivated by planetary cores and the dynamo effect, the mechanism by which the flow of an electrically conductive fluid can give rise to a spontaneous magnetic field. Our experimental apparatus, meant to be a laboratory model of Earth's …

UK investment analyst reaction to window dressing of financial statements: a laboratory experiment
… 3) The main part of the thesis reports on a laboratory experiment with 63 experienced stockbroking analysts drawn from five of the top City houses. The analysts were required to process company accounts and adjust for window dressed items. We were forced to conclude that, at least at the …

Leadership and Informational Influences on Group Decision Making in a Participative Budgeting Context: A Laboratory Experiment
The setting of organizational goals is considered a key aspect of the managerial function. Budgets have been used to successfully reduce strategic goals to an operational level. Particularly, participative budgeting has been advocated as a co-optive technique to enhance congruity between …

Status and Integrative Complexity in Decision-Making Groups: Evidence From the United States Supreme Court and a Laboratory Experiment
… Bernzweig & Gallant, 1985) were not supported. A laboratory experiment (Study 2), using ad hoc groups performing a judicial decision-making task, established (a) the generalizability of this finding to other group decision contexts, and (b) the extent to which it reflects differences in private …

The effects of diel vertical migration of Daphnia on zooplankton-phytoplankton interactions
… parameters in a lake. I conducted field and laboratory experiments in which I compared ‘migration’ with ‘no-migration’ situations. It is generally assumed that phytoplankton communities in the epilimnion of stratified lakes profit from the presence of DVM. This might be caused by less grazing …

Ultrasonic Degradation of Link-Functionalized Polymers for the Activation of Chemical Reactions
The third part of this work describes a simple laboratory experiment for junior high or high school students that promotes understanding of photolithography, crosslinking density, and the process of photopolymerization, while demonstrating the power of rapid prototyping used to fabricate microscale …

Wave scattering from cylindrical fluid inclusions in an elastic medium and determination of effective medium properties
… The scattering vs. angle results are shown for a laboratory experiment in which a single water-filled cylindrical inclusion is embedded in polypropylene. Four different radius-towavelength ratios of 1.9, 2.4, 8.8 and 11.0 were measured and proved qualitatively consistent with theory. An extension …

A Study of Low Head Hydropower Using a Siphon System and Conversion to Air Pressure.
… various aerator configurations in a full scale laboratory experiment is described, and the difficulties encountered in the two phase flow that occurs in the process are examined. The on- site experiment at the Yorkshire Treatment Plant that is discussed, proved that this siphon system was robust …

Financial Decision Making Under Stress
… financial decisions and stress. In a laboratory experiment, Holt and Laury lottery was used to elicit participants risk preferences. The Cold Pressor Test was used to induce a safe level of stress. In the treatment group, 62% of participants are risk averse; versus 76% in the control …

Reproduction of auroral cyclotron emission mechanisms in laboratory experiments and 3D simulations
… to enhance the understanding of results from a laboratory experiment built to reproduce the mechanisms of AKR generation. In these experiments the kilometric radiation was scaled to microwave frequencies by increasing the magnetic field strength. Results from the laboratory experiment …

Submesoscale eddies and their potential for buoyant microplastic accumulation
… azimuthal circulation. To this end, I conduct a laboratory experiment characterizing the evolution of buoyant microsphere distributions within a symmetric lid-driven eddy model in Chapter 3, in which particles demonstrate relatively fast accumulation towards a subsurface attractor. This …

Procedural Fairness: How Employees Evaluate Procedures
Five studies, one laboratory experiment and four field studies, that examine the effects of variation in resource allocation procedure, enactment and outcome on procedural and distributive fairness judgments are reported. The laboratory study tested these effects on the reactions of subjects in a …

On the flow induced in a thermally stratified fluid by a source of heat
… alterations thus produced are discussed. A laboratory experiment set up to demonstrate the major features of this circulation is described. Qualitative agreement between theory and experiment is obtained, and certain of the predicted nonlinear effects are observed.
