Tool support for systematic reviews in software engineering
Thesis
Marshall, C. Tool support for systematic reviews in software engineering. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/407199

Background: Systematic reviews have become an established methodology in software engineering. However, they are labour intensive, error prone and time consuming. These and other challenges have led to the development of tools to support the process.... Read More about Tool support for systematic reviews in software engineering.

Effects of bending stiffness on localized bulging in a pressurized hyperelastic tube.
Thesis
Francisco, G. S. Effects of bending stiffness on localized bulging in a pressurized hyperelastic tube. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/407086

The problem of localised bulging in inflated thin-walled tubes has been studied by many authors. In all these studies, the strain-energy function is expressed only in term of principal stretches. However, there are some applications where the cylindr... Read More about Effects of bending stiffness on localized bulging in a pressurized hyperelastic tube..

Numerical solution of thin-film flow equations using adaptive moving mesh methods
Thesis
Alharbi, A. R. Numerical solution of thin-film flow equations using adaptive moving mesh methods. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/407075

Thin liquid films are found everywhere in nature. Their flows play a fundamental role in a wide range of applications and processes. They are central to a number
of biological, industrial, chemical, geophysical and environmental applications. Thin f... Read More about Numerical solution of thin-film flow equations using adaptive moving mesh methods.

Passive control of thermoacoustic instabilities in idealised combustion systems using heat exchangers
Thesis
Surendran, A. Passive control of thermoacoustic instabilities in idealised combustion systems using heat exchangers. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/409659

Thermoacoustic instabilities pose a great threat to combustion systems, as they could cause severe structural damage, if they are unchecked and uncontrolled. These instabilities are caused due to the existence of a positive feedback loop between the...

Objective predictors of subjective aesthetic ratings of web pages
Thesis
Williams, N. K. Objective predictors of subjective aesthetic ratings of web pages. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/407036

This research is concerned with the effect of visual stimulus on decision--making and opinions, what visual aspects of a page affect very early impressions of web sites, and how this relates to computational methods of prediction and evaluation of we...

Image source identification and characterisation for forensic analysis
Thesis
Soobhany, A. R. Image source identification and characterisation for forensic analysis. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/407000

Digital imaging devices, such as digital cameras or mobile phones, are prevalent in society. The images created by these devices can be used in the commission of crime. Source device identification is an emerging research area and involves the identi... Read More about Image source identification and characterisation for forensic analysis.

Fingering instabilities in gravity and surfactant-related thin film flows
Thesis
Fingering instabilities in gravity and surfactant-related thin film flows. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/405069

Thin-film fluid flows are central to a number of biological, industrial and chemical applications and processes. Thin films driven by external forces are highly susceptible to instabilities leading to the break-up of the film into fingering-type patt...

Reservoir Computing with high non-linear separation and long-term memory for time-series data analysis
Thesis
Reservoir Computing with high non-linear separation and long-term memory for time-series data analysis. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/405063

Left unchecked the degradation of reinforced concrete can result in the weakening of a structure and lead to both hazardous and costly problems throughout the built environment. In some cases failure to recognise the problem and apply appropriate rem... Read More about Reservoir Computing with high non-linear separation and long-term memory for time-series data analysis.

An empirical investigation into the effectiveness of a robot simulator as a tool to support the learning of introductory programming
Thesis
An empirical investigation into the effectiveness of a robot simulator as a tool to support the learning of introductory programming. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/404169

Background: Robots have been used in the past as tools to aid the teaching of programming. There
is limited evidence, however, about the effectiveness of simulated robots for this purpose.

Aim: To investigate the effectiveness of a robot simulato... Read More about An empirical investigation into the effectiveness of a robot simulator as a tool to support the learning of introductory programming.

The usability of knowledge based authentication methods on mobile devices
Thesis
The usability of knowledge based authentication methods on mobile devices. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/403806

Mobile devices are providing ever increasing functionality to users, and the risks associated with applications storing personal details are high. Graphical authentication methods have been shown to provide better security in terms of password space... Read More about The usability of knowledge based authentication methods on mobile devices.
