Social practice theory and sustainable mobility: An analysis of the English local transport planning as a system of provision (2014)
Thesis
Williams, D. Social practice theory and sustainable mobility: An analysis of the English local transport planning as a system of provision. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/806568

The UK Government is committed to reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 80% from 1990 levels by 2050. Reducing emissions from motorised transport and changing travel behaviour of people wishing to travel are two possible means of achieving this....

Control of the interaction of a gantry robot end effector with the environment by the adaptive behaviour of its joint drive actuators (2014)
Thesis
Kashikar, P. Control of the interaction of a gantry robot end effector with the environment by the adaptive behaviour of its joint drive actuators. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/810883

The thesis examines a way in which the performance of the robot electric actuators can be precisely and accurately force controlled where there is a need for maintaining a stable specified contact force with an external environment. It describes the... Read More about Control of the interaction of a gantry robot end effector with the environment by the adaptive behaviour of its joint drive actuators.

Aerodynamic design of a multi-point operational high-speed inlet (2014)
Thesis
Buanga, B. H. Aerodynamic design of a multi-point operational high-speed inlet. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/811744

In air-breathing supersonic transport aircraft the efficiency of the engine inlet has a huge influence on the engine and the aircraft performance. Nowadays, variable inlet geometries allow optimised inlet geometries and by this also maximum performan... Read More about Aerodynamic design of a multi-point operational high-speed inlet.

Turing machine universality of the game of life (2014)
Thesis
Rendell, P. Turing machine universality of the game of life. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/822575

This project proves universal computation in the Game of Life cellular automaton by using a Turing machine construction. Existing proofs of universality in the Game of Life rely on a counter machine. These machines require complex encoding and decod... Read More about Turing machine universality of the game of life.
