Regional and urban scale modelling of particulate matter: Can PM10 be managed at a local level? (2001)
Thesis
Chatterton, T. Regional and urban scale modelling of particulate matter: Can PM10 be managed at a local level?. (Thesis). University of East Anglia. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/1086319

In March 1997, the British government launched the United Kingdom National Air Quality Strategy. The Strategy sought to reduce levels of PM10 in the UK so that the objective of 50µg/m3 , measured as a daily maximum of running 24-hour means, was e...

Self adaptation in evolutionary algorithms (1998)
Thesis
Smith, J. Self adaptation in evolutionary algorithms. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/1099661

Evolutionary Algorithms are search algorithms based on the Darwinian metaphor of “Natural Selection”. Typically these algorithms maintain a population of individual solutions, each of which has a fitness attached to it, which in some way reflects the...

Problemas multi-estagios de dimensionamento de lotes com tempo não-zero de produção e capacidade finita (1990)
Thesis
Clark, A. Problemas multi-estagios de dimensionamento de lotes com tempo não-zero de produção e capacidade finita. (Thesis). Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp). Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/4755675

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.

The role of psychological inflexibility in the tripartite influence model for women: A single body image inflexibility pathway to disordered eating behaviours
Thesis
Griffiths, C. (in press). The role of psychological inflexibility in the tripartite influence model for women: A single body image inflexibility pathway to disordered eating behaviours. (Thesis). University of the West of England. https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/801884

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
Jafari, A. (2014). Input-to-State Stable Approach for Haptic Interface and Teleoperation Systems. (Thesis). Korea University of Technology and Education (KoreaTech). Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/806337

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
Bech, T. (2014). Playful interactions: A critical inquiry into interactive art and play. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/813828

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
Jahan, I. (2014). Exploring the computational potential of simple chemical reactions. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/818154

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
Roke, C. D. (2014). Deformation-based tactile feedback for telesurgery and telepalpation. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/818431

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
Clompus, S. (2014). How valuable is the concept of resilience in understanding how paramedics 'survive' their work. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/819078

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 ‘...
