Nondescript women: a study of the judicial construction of female lawbreakers as abnormal criminals and abnormal women
Thesis
Worrall, A. (1987). Nondescript women: a study of the judicial construction of female lawbreakers as abnormal criminals and abnormal women

The thesis of this study is that 'nondescript women' are a muted group within the criminal justice system. They are subject to multiple discursive oppression which is subtle and sophisticated. Their oppression is dependent not on their active and con... Read More about Nondescript women: a study of the judicial construction of female lawbreakers as abnormal criminals and abnormal women.

The New York Times and the Algerian revolution, 1956-1962: an analysis of a major newspaper's reporting of events
Thesis
Barkaoui, M. (1988). The New York Times and the Algerian revolution, 1956-1962: an analysis of a major newspaper's reporting of events

This thesis examines the response of The New York Times international edition to the Algerian revolution from 1956 to 1962. During the early years the paper took the French official view; however as the inevitability of independence became apparent,...

A palaeoecological study of Cors Gyfelog and Tre'r Gof: lowland mines of north west Wales
Thesis
Botterill, E. M. (1988). A palaeoecological study of Cors Gyfelog and Tre'r Gof: lowland mines of north west Wales

This study investigates post-Glacial development of Cors Gyfelog and Tre'r Gof - lowland mires in north west Wales - and the vegetational history of the region over the same period. Using existing hydroseral theories, possible future successions are... Read More about A palaeoecological study of Cors Gyfelog and Tre'r Gof: lowland mines of north west Wales.

Detection of frequency and intensity changes using synthetic vowels and other sounds
Thesis
Cosgrove, P. (1988). Detection of frequency and intensity changes using synthetic vowels and other sounds

Formant frequency transition detection thresholds In synthetic vowels were Investigated for their dependence on formant number, vowel type and duration of frequency transition. With transitions In final position It was found that F2 Is easier to dete... Read More about Detection of frequency and intensity changes using synthetic vowels and other sounds.

The preparation and complexing properties of isocyanide-functionalized polymers
Thesis
Csorba, J. (1988). The preparation and complexing properties of isocyanide-functionalized polymers

This thesis is concerned with the synthesis of an isocyanide- functionalized polymer support and an investigation of the metal complexing properties of the resin produced. The synthesis of two functionalized monomers, p-vinylbenzylformamide and m/p-... Read More about The preparation and complexing properties of isocyanide-functionalized polymers.

The sedimentology and geotectonic significance of upper Ordovician and lower Silurian sand-bodies in the Rhinns of Galloway and adjacent areas, southwest Scotland
Thesis
Davies, P. (1988). The sedimentology and geotectonic significance of upper Ordovician and lower Silurian sand-bodies in the Rhinns of Galloway and adjacent areas, southwest Scotland

The study reported here involved detailed mapping, logging, stratigraphical, structural, sedimentological and petrographical analyses of sequences exposed in two areas: the Rhinns of Galloway, between Killantrlngan Bay (NW 9820 5700) and Clanyard Bay...

Neuroanatomical segregation of texture-sensitivity in feline striate cortex
Thesis
Edelstyn, N. (1988). Neuroanatomical segregation of texture-sensitivity in feline striate cortex

Recordings were obtained from striate cortical neurones in cats lightly anaesthetized with nitrous oxide/oxygen supplemented with halothane as necessary: muscle relaxant (gallamine triethiodide) was administered intravenously. Complex neurones were s... Read More about Neuroanatomical segregation of texture-sensitivity in feline striate cortex.

Rheological, thermal and isostatic constraints on continental lithosphere extension and compression
Thesis
Egan, S. (1988). Rheological, thermal and isostatic constraints on continental lithosphere extension and compression

Deep seismic reflection data has shown the importance of low angle faults and detachments in continental extensional tectonics. A quantitative model of continental lithosphere extension is presented, incorporating geometric, thermal and isostatic com...

Computer modelling of pure and doped stoichiometric and congruent lithium niobate
Thesis
(2018). Computer modelling of pure and doped stoichiometric and congruent lithium niobate

This investigation has modelled lithium niobate in its congruent form, stoichiometric form and paraelectric phase to determine whether the preference of doping schemes changes, specifically when the concentration of a dopant is varied. Mott-Littleton... Read More about Computer modelling of pure and doped stoichiometric and congruent lithium niobate.

Delivering nanoengineered neural stem cells within neurosurgical grade biomaterials
Thesis
(2018). Delivering nanoengineered neural stem cells within neurosurgical grade biomaterials

Achieving neural regeneration after spinal cord injury (SCI) represents a significant challenge. Neural stem cell (NSC) therapy offers replacement of damaged cells and delivery of pro-regenerative factors, but >95% of cells die when transplanted to s...

An enquiry concerning justice in health, or what ethical account best informs health policies aimed at tackling health inequalities.
Thesis
(2018). An enquiry concerning justice in health, or what ethical account best informs health policies aimed at tackling health inequalities

The present thesis investigates the role of justice when informing health policies such as the reforms of health systems or those aimed at tackling health inequalities. I set the problem as a case study derived from the reforms of the Chilean health...

How can the concept of parrhesia be used to challenge the politics of sovereign exceptionalism?
Thesis
politics of sovereign exceptionalism?

This research paper is one that seeks to contribute to the resistance debate that focuses on ‘life’ as a governmental practice of ‘sovereign exceptionalism’. Sovereign exceptionalism is a term given to encompass a wide-ranging literature with its key...

Against the physicalist zeitgeist: evaluating the contemporary case for physicalism and the prospect of property dualism
Thesis
(2018). Against the physicalist zeitgeist: evaluating the contemporary case for physicalism and the prospect of property dualism

This thesis employs Chalmers’ (1996) hard problem of consciousness in an attempt to highlight the fundamental issues with the physicalist zeitgeist that has predominated much of contemporary philosophical thought, before championing an alternative me...
