The Time Helix: Nonlinear Narrative Structures and the Paradox of Delayed Simultaneity
My study of contemporary (post-2000) Anglophone novels combines themes of time and temporality with narratological analysis. I argue that nonlinear narrative structures (which originate in science fiction novels) challenge the supposed impossibility of simultaneity in the novel, undermine the …

Real-time Quality Feedback System for Screening Colonoscopy
… such as the bowel preparation and the withdrawal time; fast withdrawal time is highly correlated with adenoma detection rate. Current metric tools for these parameters are not objective. This limitation leads to the formalization of the present study, which focuses on the development of a …

Justice and Righteousness in the Prophecy of Amos and their Relevance to Issues of Contemporary Social Justice in the Church in Ghana
… the prophet’s criticism of the society of his time. Novel features include a triangular model of understanding how social justice is perceived in the Hebrew Bible and how Amos’ protest against social injustice fits into that framework. There is also an attempt towards a definition of social …

Modeling and Numerics for Two Partial Differential Equation Systems Arising From Nanoscale Physics
… the form of numerical simulations. At the same time, novel materials arising from advances in physics and material sciences are creating new problems which must be addressed. This thesis focuses on two such materials, organic semiconductors and graphene. In Chapter 2 we derive a generalized …

Synthesis and evaluation of novel ellipticines as potential anti-cancer agents
… the synthesis and biological evaluation of novel ellipticine and isoellipticine derivatives as anti-cancer agents. Expanding on previous work within the group utilising vinylmagnesium bromide, derivatisation of the C5 position of ellipticine was accomplished by reaction of a key ketolactam …

Novel PV Solar Farm Control as STATCOM (PV-STATCOM) for SSR Mitigation in Synchronous Generators and Wind Farms
… with series compensated lines. For the first time, novel SSR damping controls for the patented technology of PV solar farm controlled as STATCOM (PV-STATCOM) are presented in this thesis for mitigating SSR both during night and day in synchronous generators connected to series compensated …

Deoxyribozymes for peptide substrates: exploring the landscape of nucleophiles and electrophiles
… in Chapter 3, we identified for the first time, novel DNA enzymes that catalyze chemical modification of serine side chains. These deoxyribozymes were identified in a structurally preorganized three-helix-junction (3HJ) architecture that places the peptide nucleophile close to the …
