Peridynamic modelling of localised corrosion damage
… rapid growth and difficulty of detection, localised forms of corrosion represent a threat to human life and the environment. The current empirical and semi-empirical approaches used by engineers to hinder corrosion damage have several disadvantages and limitations. In this regard, numerical …

The application of neural networks to communication channel equalisation : a comparison between localised and non-localised basis functions
… performance of neural networks employing non-localised basis (non-linear) functions (Multi-layer Perceptron) versus those employing localised basis functions (Radial Basis Function Network).

Circulating Tumour DNA in Localised Urological Cancers
There is a need for informative biomarkers in localised urological cancers. At present, no method can accurately distinguish between indolent and aggressive prostate cancers, and men often require repeated biopsies. Patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer undergo neo-adjuvant chemotherapy …

Towards Ultra-High Resolution Mode-localised MEMS Sensors
… aspects of developing ultra-high resolution mode-localised MEMS sensors. First, the mechanical sensor is integrated with a prototype closed-loop oscillator along with the interface electronics on a printed circuit board. Key aspects of sensors such as stability, noise floor, and bandwidth are …

Thin circular metal plates subjected to localised impulsive loads
… of thin circular metal plates subjected to localised impulsive loads. These predictions are compared to experimental data and a finite element model. The theoretical model is described by two models where the first model predicts the plate deformation and the second model, using the …

Characterisation of the cell-surface localised palmitoyl acyl transferase, DHHC5
… specificity.<br/><br/>DHHC5 is a cell surface localised DHHC-PAT which has a characteristic, long cytoplasmic C-tail which is responsible for substrate recruitment. DHHC5 has an established role in hippocampal learning and memory formation. It is also known to palmitoylate phospholemman (PLM), …

The design of a real-time nowcasting system for localised weather
… real-time. The real-time nowcasting system for localised weather handles the data as a transparent task using the limited capabilities of the PC system. Ground data produces a time series of measurements at a specific location which represents the past-to-present atmospheric conditions of the …

T-cell-directed bioorthogonal catalysis for localised prodrug activation in cancer therapy
Cancer is one of the most severe diseases worldwide, accounting for almost 10 million deaths a year. While modern cancer treatments have improved patient outcomes in many cancer types, solid cancers, metastases and relapse still pose immense challenges. Cancer treatments remain limited by poor …

The development of a predictive procedure for localised three dimensional river flows
… turbulent free surface flows typically found at localised areas of river systems. It is the intention that the model will be used to predict flow situations which are fully three dimensional. The model is, therefore, tested against a fully three dimensional test case of flow in a two-stage …

Design and Implementation of Mode Localised Resonant MEMS Oscillators for Gravimetric Sensing
… conditions during the field deployment of mode localised MEMS resonators for sensing ultrafine particles. In that regard, weakly coupled MEMS resonators utilising mode localisation have been proposed as an alternative to resonant frequency MEMS sensors due to their increased sensitivity and …

Localised solutions of the parametrically driven Ginzburg-Landau and nonlinear Schrӧdinger equations
This thesis deals with localised solutions of the parametrically driven Ginzburg-Landau equation and its nonlinear Schrӧdinger limit. We begin with a detailed analysis of the Faraday Resonance experiment, in which the driven complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) arises, and an examination of how …

Novel localised quality of service routing algorithms. Performance evaluation of some new localised quality of service routing algorithms based on bandwidth and delay as the metrics for candidate path selection.
… as a major problem for best effort service. Localised QoS routing, where the source nodes use statistics collected locally, is already described in contemporary sources as more advantageous. Scalability, however, is still one of the main concerns of existing localised QoS routing algorithms. …

Localised Routing Algorithms in Communication Networks with Quality of Service Constraints. Performance Evaluation and Enhancement of New Localised Routing Approaches to Provide Quality of Service for Computer and Communication Networks.
… Towards this goal, the thesis is focused on Localised QoS routing algorithms proposed to overcome the problems of using global network state information. Using such an approach, the source node makes routing decisions based on the local state information for each node in the path. Localised …

Potential of metabolic MRI to address unmet clinical needs in localised renal cancer.
… clinical needs in the management of early-stage (localised and locallyadvanced) renal cancer. Renal cancer is the deadliest urological malignancy with a widening gap between incidence and mortality, which highlights the need to review the current guidelines. In particular, early-stage renal cancer …

Effects of localised cooling and warming on neuromuscular control in young and older women
The present thesis investigated the effects of localised warming (increased muscle temperature ~3/4° C and cooling (decreased muscle temperature ~3/4° C of the lower limbs on neuromuscular control in young (18-26 years) and older (65-75 years) healdiy women. The principal aims were to investigate …
