Problemas multi-estagios de dimensionamento de lotes com tempo não-zero de produção e capacidade finita (1990)
Thesis
Multi-Stage Lot-Sizing Problems with Non-Zero Lead Time are formulated as Integer Programming models in a manner suitable for use with a rolling planning horizon in capacitated and uncapacitated Material Requirements Planning systems. Two solution ap... Read More about Problemas multi-estagios de dimensionamento de lotes com tempo não-zero de produção e capacidade finita.
Materials control and wastes on Nigerian building sites (1981)
Thesis
The social behaviour and ecology of indri indri (1975)
Thesis
This study was conducted by conceptualising, designing and implementing new knowledge at the forefront of body image inflexibility (a construct derived from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)) and disordered eating. The study design was adjusted...

Input-to-State Stable Approach for Haptic Interface and Teleoperation Systems
Thesis
Passivity has been a major criterion on designing a stable haptic interface due to many advantages. However, passivity has been suffering from its intrinsic conservatism since it only represents a small set of the whole stable region. Therefore, ther...

Playful interactions: A critical inquiry into interactive art and play
Thesis
My practice-based doctoral research explores how I, as an artist, can create conditions and possibilities for playful interaction in and around interactive artworks. Using practice- based research methods four artworks were created, presented and exa... Read More about Playful interactions: A critical inquiry into interactive art and play.
Exploring the computational potential of simple chemical reactions
Thesis
A large number of human activities rely on conventional computing devices producing huge quantities of data. These “traditional computers” may eventually fail to deal with such demands. Therefore, there is a need to develop novel computing paradigms,... Read More about Exploring the computational potential of simple chemical reactions.
Deformation-based tactile feedback for telesurgery and telepalpation
Thesis
One of the drawbacks of using current telesurgical devices is the absence of force and tactile feedback from the remote surgical manipulators. The lack of tactile feedback in particular limits the surgeon's perception of tissue characteristics during... Read More about Deformation-based tactile feedback for telesurgery and telepalpation.
How valuable is the concept of resilience in understanding how paramedics 'survive' their work
Thesis
Abstract
This study was prompted by the reflective essays submitted by paramedics in which they recounted traumatic experiences from work which seemed unprocessed. I subsequently became interested in how paramedics maintained their resilience and ‘... Read More about How valuable is the concept of resilience in understanding how paramedics 'survive' their work.
Life, learning and university: An inquiry into refugee participation in UK higher education
Thesis
Abstract
Life, learning and university: an inquiry into refugee participation in UK higher education.
Movement, stasis, and the management of displacement underpin this thesis on refugee participation in UK higher education. Drawing on accounts... Read More about Life, learning and university: An inquiry into refugee participation in UK higher education.
The modulatory effects of commensal neisseriae on upper respiratory tract infections
Thesis
The human nasopharynx is a reservoir of both commensal and pathogenic bacteria that can be easily transmitted from one individual to another. It has long been hypothesised that host commensal flora give protection from carriage of pathogens and invas...

Change in the by-names and surnames of the Cotswolds
Thesis
This thesis builds on previous studies of English by-name and surname history. Many have identified the regionally specific nature of name development in England (McKinley, 1990: 20; Hey, 2000: xi; Redmonds, 2004: xiv), yet most of our knowledge come...

Introduction: The hBCAT proteins have a unique redox active CXXC motif which governs its transamination activity. Recent studies have identified that specific neuronal proteins with either redox activity or functions in cell signalling form interac...

In recent years the business world has become more complex and the role of the professional auditor has had to change in order to address this increasing complexity. What had been seen as a technical compliance role has now evolved to include higher... Read More about Practice or theory?
