Karst palaeoenvironments: a reconstruction with particular reference to the Morecambe Bay area
Thesis
(1981). Karst palaeoenvironments: a reconstruction with particular reference to the Morecambe Bay area

At least four phases of karst development can be recognised in the Morecambe Bay area of northwest England : an intra-Carboniferous phase resulting from intermittent subaerial erosion associated with temporary falls in the level of the Lower Carbonif...

A psychoacoustical study of the processing and subsequent detection of frequency-modulation
Thesis
(2020). A psychoacoustical study of the processing and subsequent detection of frequency-modulation

Evidence is provided for tuned channels in the human auditory system selectively responsive to frequency-modulation (FM). Thresholds for the detection of small changes in frequency were measured with a 2IFC procedure in two subjects at a number of fr...

The stratigraphy and sedimentation of the Forest Marble Formation (Bathonian, Middle Jurassic) in the area between Bradford-on-Avon and the Dorset coast (southern England)
Thesis
(1981). The stratigraphy and sedimentation of the Forest Marble Formation (Bathonian, Middle Jurassic) in the area between Bradford-on-Avon and the Dorset coast (southern England)

This study is an integrated facies analysis of the Forest Marble Formation (Upper Bathonian Middle Jurassic) in the area between Bradford-on-Avon and the Dorset coast (Southern England).
The Forest Marble is a mixed carbonate/clastic shallow marine... Read More about The stratigraphy and sedimentation of the Forest Marble Formation (Bathonian, Middle Jurassic) in the area between Bradford-on-Avon and the Dorset coast (southern England).

Form specific adaptation and pattern recognition: an experimental and theoretical study
Thesis
(1981). Form specific adaptation and pattern recognition: an experimental and theoretical study

Among the theories of visual pattern recognition are structural theories which propose that patterns are encoded in terras of features and their spatial relationships (relations). Structural theories are examined here with both adaptation and pattern... Read More about Form specific adaptation and pattern recognition: an experimental and theoretical study.

The Anglican Church in the Rhondda from the industrial revolution to disestablishment
Thesis
(1981). The Anglican Church in the Rhondda from the industrial revolution to disestablishment

In the first chapter the area under review is, first of all, looked at as it was at the beginning of the period, in terms of the various aspects and issues later to he given expanded treatment in the body of the dissertation. (They include, the eccle... Read More about The Anglican Church in the Rhondda from the industrial revolution to disestablishment.

A study of observational attainment in practical work in school chemistry
Thesis
(1981). A study of observational attainment in practical work in school chemistry

The research described in this thesis concerns three separate, but interrelated aspects of observation in chemical education at the secondary school level:
a) The effect of different modes of task definition and presentation upon students' observati... Read More about A study of observational attainment in practical work in school chemistry.

The transcellular transport of immunoglobulin G in the rat and rabbit yolk sacs
Thesis
(1981). The transcellular transport of immunoglobulin G in the rat and rabbit yolk sacs

An in vitro method, previously described for incubating rat yolk sacs for short periods, was adapted for the incubation of rabbit yolk sacs. It was shown that the endocytic properties of these two tissues are very similar as judged by their rates of...

The geology and geochemistry of the area west of Loch Killin, Inverness-shire
Thesis
(1981). The geology and geochemistry of the area west of Loch Killin, Inverness-shire

The area under study, which lies west of Loch Killin, Inverness-shire, was mapped during the years 1975-1978.
The continuous sequence of pelitic and psammitic metasediments comprises four formations and each is characterised by dominant lithotypes a... Read More about The geology and geochemistry of the area west of Loch Killin, Inverness-shire.

The molecular beam maser employing quasi-optical resonators: oscillation behaviour and spectroscopic applications
Thesis
(1981). The molecular beam maser employing quasi-optical resonators: oscillation behaviour and spectroscopic applications

The spectroscopic and oscillation properties of the molecular Beam maser, employing quasi-optical resonators are investigated. A new type of cavity, the roof-top resonator, is introduced for molecular beam work. The theoretical discussion reveals tha...
