Miners and social character: a case study of a face team in mining, the work group and their social relationships
Thesis
Walter, M. A. (1986). Miners and social character: a case study of a face team in mining, the work group and their social relationships

In this thesis I present an interpretation of the social situation of a face team in coal mining. My central theoretical focus is the idea of social character, as elaborated most extensively in the work of Erich Fromm. The relationship of social char...

Some aspects of the semantic and conceptual development of possession in young children
Thesis
Wilkins, S. J. (1986). Some aspects of the semantic and conceptual development of possession in young children

This thesis represents a research programme investigating the development of possession in children from eighteen months to six years. It is intended to contribute to two areas of research: the acquisition of possessives, particularly possessive pron...

Optoacoustic frequency stabilization of a carbon dioxide laser
Thesis
Abdallah Abu-Taha, M. I. (1987). Optoacoustic frequency stabilization of a carbon dioxide laser

In this thesis a study has been made of the design, construction and, in particular, frequency stabilization of a d.c. excited carbon dioxide laser. The outline of the theory of the carbon dioxide laser is presented as a prelude to a detailed study o... Read More about Optoacoustic frequency stabilization of a carbon dioxide laser.

An evaluation of practical work at intermediate stage in biology in Pakistan with special reference to science process skills
Thesis
Rifat Ahmed, Q. (1987). An evaluation of practical work at intermediate stage in biology in Pakistan with special reference to science process skills

This study investigates the extent to which the processes of science are in evidence in the practical work of Intermediate Biology courses in Pakistan. Analysis of the officially prescribed practical guide shows that most of the investigations are at...

Kinetic studies of polyene exchange and substitution in low valent octahedral metal complexes
Thesis
Ashford, N. F. (1987). Kinetic studies of polyene exchange and substitution in low valent octahedral metal complexes

The kinetics of polyene exchange and substitution in (polyene)Cr(CO)3 complexes has been investigated. The exchange reaction involving displacement of complexed polyene for free polyene (Chapter 2) has shown two competing rate determining pathways to...

The growth and development of trade unionism in Bangladesh: 1947 - 1986
Thesis
Badiuzzaman, M. (. (1987). The growth and development of trade unionism in Bangladesh: 1947 - 1986

This research examines the growth and development of trade unionism in Bangladesh, There is little existing literature or systematic research on this subject for Bangladesh partly because data sources are meagre and sometimes of poor quality, The res...

The ecology of the Chironomidae in a Phragmites reedbed at Cop Mere (Staffordshire, England)
Thesis
Bell, P. G. (1987). The ecology of the Chironomidae in a Phragmites reedbed at Cop Mere (Staffordshire, England)

The Chironomidae occupying a Phragmites reedbed at Cop Mere, Staffordshire were studied during 1981 and 1982. In 1981, reedstem-dwelling larvae were sampled at monthly intervals from three zones running parallel with the reedbed/open-water interface,...

Endocrine and behavioural comparisons of male mice under semi-natural and caged conditions
Thesis
Bishop, M. J. (1987). Endocrine and behavioural comparisons of male mice under semi-natural and caged conditions

The work of this thesis wes based on Investigations froa previous conventional cage studies which examined the characteristics of dominant and subordinate male mice. It was predicted that high status males would have high testosterone output and heav... Read More about Endocrine and behavioural comparisons of male mice under semi-natural and caged conditions.

Mechanisms and conditions of deformation in quartzites from the Cantabrian and west Asturian-Leonese zones, north Spain
Thesis
Blenkinsop, T. G. (1987). Mechanisms and conditions of deformation in quartzites from the Cantabrian and west Asturian-Leonese zones, north Spain

Deformation mechanisms and conditions have been studied, principally in Ordovician quartzites, from the Cantabrian and West Asturian-leonese zones, north Spain. The quartzites have been strongly deformed at shallow crustal levels during the Variscan...

Hawthorne's uses of history: a study of the major fiction, with special reference to the unfinished romances
Thesis
Brady, P. (1987). Hawthorne's uses of history: a study of the major fiction, with special reference to the unfinished romances

the thesis is concerned to establish the importance of works that, for the main part, have been ignored. Although the neglect or misconception of Hawthorne's historical perspective has led to some questionable judgements of his completed works, perha...

Infrared studies of classical novae and the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi
Thesis
Callus, C. M. (1987). Infrared studies of classical novae and the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi

This work is concerned with new observations, within the 1-100um infrared wavelength range, of novae and with models to explain these and existing observations of these objects. The first half is concerned with the classical novae. Some of these obj... Read More about Infrared studies of classical novae and the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi.

The quaternary sediments of the Shetland platform and adjacent continental shelf margin
Thesis
Cockroft, D. N. (1987). The quaternary sediments of the Shetland platform and adjacent continental shelf margin

Borehole material obtained from the continental shelf and shelf margin around the Shetland Islands has made possible a reconsideration of the glacial history of the archipelago. Analysis of British Geological Survey boreholes, from the areas between... Read More about The quaternary sediments of the Shetland platform and adjacent continental shelf margin.
