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.

Training in counselling: the development, implementation and evaluation of 'listening and responding', an approach to teaching communication skills to nurses
Thesis
Connor, M. (1987). Training in counselling: the development, implementation and evaluation of 'listening and responding', an approach to teaching communication skills to nurses

A model for training nurses in the skills of communication and counselling was developed from microcouselling and problem management approaches.
The model was used with twenty trainee nurse teachers during a course of one day per week, for ten weeks... Read More about Training in counselling: the development, implementation and evaluation of 'listening and responding', an approach to teaching communication skills to nurses.

Homoclinic bifurcation and saddle connections for duffing type oscillators
Thesis
Davenport, N. M. (1987). Homoclinic bifurcation and saddle connections for duffing type oscillators

The study primarily considers the nondlmensionallsed Buffing's equation
x" + kx' - x + x3 = F Cos wt, (k, F, ?) > 0,
and investigates the various phenomena associated with small damping and forcing amplitude.
Through the use of Liapunov functions... Read More about Homoclinic bifurcation and saddle connections for duffing type oscillators.

Dynamic properties of an ammonia maser incorporating a disc resonator
Thesis
Davis, J. A. (1987). Dynamic properties of an ammonia maser incorporating a disc resonator

The oscillation properties of an ammonia maser employing dual molecular beams and a Fabry-Perot type disc resonator are investigated. The molecular beam flux is pulsed by the use of small fuel injection valves. The resulting gas pulses entering the m...

The United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) 1948-1965, with postscript on the impact on UNMOGIP of the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971
Thesis
Dawson, P. (1987). The United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) 1948-1965, with postscript on the impact on UNMOGIP of the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971

In January 1949 the first UN Military Observers arrived in Kashmir to supervise a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, following hostilities arising from Kashmir's disputed status after Independence. In-accepting the resolutions of a UN Commission w...

Evaluation of the pinocytic uptake and cellular processing of antibody-N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide copolymer conjugates and estimation of their potential use in "targeted" drug delivery
Thesis
Flanagan, P. A. (1987). Evaluation of the pinocytic uptake and cellular processing of antibody-N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide copolymer conjugates and estimation of their potential use in "targeted" drug delivery

125 I-labelled protein (entibody or trensferrin)-N-(2-hydroxypropy1)methacrylamide (HPMA)copolymer conjugates were characterised using gel permeation chromatography and their average molecular weight (Kw) determined (Chapter 3). It was estimated that...

The population dynamics of field pansy (Viola arvensis) and red deadnettle (Lamium purpureum) in winter cereal and oilseed rape fields
Thesis
Gilbert, J. (1987). The population dynamics of field pansy (Viola arvensis) and red deadnettle (Lamium purpureum) in winter cereal and oilseed rape fields

The population dynamics of Viola arvensis Murr. and Lamiuni purpureum L. were studied in winter cereal and oilseed rape fields in North Staffordshire and Cheshire. The seedling emergence, seedbank density, population survival and potential seed input...
