Monitoring and Modelling the Vibrational Effects of Small (<50 kW) Wind Turbines on the Eskdalemuir IMS Station
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Monitoring and Modelling the Vibrational Effects of Small (

It is known (Styles et al., 2005) that windfarms generate low frequency vibrations which propagate through the ground and have the potential to adversely affect sensitive installations, most notably seismometer arrays set up to monitor for nuclear te...

Identification of palaeotsunamis using ground penetrating radar, sedimentological and micropaleontological techniques; implications for Sri Lankan tsunami risk
Thesis
Identification of palaeotsunamis using ground penetrating radar, sedimentological and micropaleontological techniques; implications for Sri Lankan tsunami risk. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/403305

One of the most catastrophic natural hazards which can devastate coastal zone communities is the tsunami. The risk of tsunami devastation can be mitigated by reconstruction and quantification of past tsunamis, but this requires identification and ana...

Seismic monitoring and vibrational characterization of small wind turbines: A case study of the potential effects on the Eskdalemuir International Monitoring System Station in Scotland
Journal Article
Seismic monitoring and vibrational characterization of small wind turbines: A case study of the potential effects on the Eskdalemuir International Monitoring System Station in Scotland. Near Surface Geophysics, 115-126. https://doi.org/10.3997/1873-0604.2015001

This paper presents a case study of the ground-borne vibrations generated by small wind turbines. This is of particular importance for assessing the possible impact on the detection capabilities of the International Monitoring System seismic array at...

Biochemical, biophysical, and structural studies of a protein complex implicated in the erythrocyte interaction with the Malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum
Thesis
Biochemical, biophysical, and structural studies of a protein complex implicated in the erythrocyte interaction with the Malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/404128

This thesis describes biochemical and biophysical studies of two protein domains that are believed to be involved in the interaction between the merozoites of Plasmodium falciparum and human red blood cells. The parasite protein fragment derives from...

Linear and non-linear modelling of thermoacoustic instabilities in a laboratory burner
Thesis
Linear and non-linear modelling of thermoacoustic instabilities in a laboratory burner. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/404172

Thermoacoustic instabilities are a mayor problem in industrial combustors, where they can lead to catastrophic hardware damage. An industrial gas turbine combustion chamber is a very complex and expensive system. Thus, a laboratory burner has been bu...

Outflows from galaxy nuclei: dynamics and implications for scaling relations
Thesis
Outflows from galaxy nuclei: dynamics and implications for scaling relations. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/404176

The M–s relations observed between the masses of central massive objects (CMOs: either a nuclear star cluster or a supermassive black hole) in galaxy nuclei and the stellar velocity dispersion of their host galaxy bulges strongly suggest that the evo...

The geological and geodynamic evolution of the Northumberland Trough Region: insights from numerical modelling
Thesis
The geological and geodynamic evolution of the Northumberland Trough Region: insights from numerical modelling. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/404179

The geological and geodynamic processes that have controlled the evolution of the Northumberland Trough Region in Northern England have been investigated to expand understanding of the evolution of continental extensional basins. The region has exper... Read More about The geological and geodynamic evolution of the Northumberland Trough Region: insights from numerical modelling.

Cross-strike discontinuities and kinematic linkages within the Moine and Cantabrian thrust belts
Thesis
Cross-strike discontinuities and kinematic linkages within the Moine and Cantabrian thrust belts. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/404182

Abrupt lateral changes in thrust geometry occur in many mountain-building fold-thrust belts. Whilst many works have dealt with palinspastic reconstructions and transport-directionparallel balanced cross-sections, far fewer show a full three-dimension...

The stratigraphy, palaeontology and sedimentology of the Upper Pendleian and Lower Arnsbergian of the North Staffordshire basin area
Thesis
The stratigraphy, palaeontology and sedimentology of the Upper Pendleian and Lower Arnsbergian of the North Staffordshire basin area. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/405056

The detailed palaeontological and lithological succession was established by detailed measurement and mapping of the Hurdlow, Pyeclough and Blake Brook sections. Faunas were found and are described ranging from E1c to E2b2 in age, and their extent wi...

Thesis
Evolution of electron capture supernova progenitors: new models, improved nuclear physics and hydrodynamic mixing uncertainties. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/405119

Electron capture supernovae (EC-SNe) are the deaths of approximately 8-10M stars. In this thesis, the evolution of 8-12M stars is calculated using the MESA stellar evolution code. The aims of this thesis are to produce the most advanced and up-to-dat...
