The sedimentology and stratigraphy of red beds in the Westphalian A to C of central England
Thesis
Besly, B. (1983). The sedimentology and stratigraphy of red beds in the Westphalian A to C of central England

Red beds in the Westphalian A to C of Central England belong to the Etruria Formation. Examination of exposures and cores has allowed subdivision of this Formation into three Facies Associations. Facies Association I forms the gradational base of t... Read More about The sedimentology and stratigraphy of red beds in the Westphalian A to C of central England.

X-ray fibre diffraction studies on the polymorphism of DNA and its synthetic analogues
Thesis
(1983). X-ray fibre diffraction studies on the polymorphism of DNA and its synthetic analogues

The known conformations of DNA are b r ie fly reviewed. Methods which are developed and used to prepare DNA fibres are described. A left-handed model having 8 7 symmetry has been proposed in an attempt to explain the D-DNA diffraction pattern. Co...

Detailed mapping has been carried out of an area l2sq.km in extent around Kenmore on the south side of Loch Torridon together with a reconnaissance traverse on the north side of Loch Torridon in Diabaig. The Kenmore area exhibits particularly strong... Read More about The Laxfordian structure of the Kenmore inlier, Loch Torridon, Ross Shire.

Strategies in the reproduction of geometric figures: a developmental analysis
Thesis
(1983). Strategies in the reproduction of geometric figures: a developmental analysis

The thesis examines one important area of the skills that underlie the development of non-representational graphic ability, namely the strategies used by children and adults when reproducing geometric figure stimuli in a variety of test conditions. A... Read More about Strategies in the reproduction of geometric figures: a developmental analysis.

Recent and late quaternary ecology, distribution and provincialism of Ostracoda in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans
Thesis
(1983). Recent and late quaternary ecology, distribution and provincialism of Ostracoda in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans

A total of 393 samples were examined, of which 259 samples contained ostracods. Some 15,800 individual benthonic ostracod specimens were counted and assigned to 172 species. Of these, 1250 individuals of 58 species were live. The majority of the Ost...
