Experimental studies of 9-15 year old children's use of categorisation in solving problems
Thesis
Experimental studies of 9-15 year old children's use of categorisation in solving problems. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416810

This thesis reports seven experiments on how children, aged 9 to 15 years, deal with problems in which categorizing may be used to impose advantageous order on the problem-solving process. The first three experiments present a total of 108 children w... Read More about Experimental studies of 9-15 year old children's use of categorisation in solving problems.

Pinocytosis and protein degradation in the rat visceral yolk sac
Thesis
Pinocytosis and protein degradation in the rat visceral yolk sac. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416822

The rat visceral yolk sac (17.5 days gestation) was incubated in vitro to try to elucidate some of the factors important in controlling pinocytosis and protein degradation. An investigation of four closely- related ribonuclease molecules revealed tha... Read More about Pinocytosis and protein degradation in the rat visceral yolk sac.

Changing patterns of educational development in Shropshire from the restoration until the first Treasury grant 1660 - 1833
Thesis
Changing patterns of educational development in Shropshire from the restoration until the first Treasury grant 1660 - 1833. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416825

This study aims to investigate the nature and extent of education in so far as it concerned Shropshire children in the period between the Restoration and the first Treasury grant to education. A vide variety of hitherto largely unexploited sources, b...

The use of sewage sludges as nitrogenous fertilizers for grassland
Thesis
The use of sewage sludges as nitrogenous fertilizers for grassland. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416826

The value of liquid anaerobically digested (LDS), liquid activated (LAS) and pressed cake (PC) as nitrogen fertilizers for grassland was compared to that of ammonium nitrate (AH) in a field trial containing 16 treatments applied to 1.5m x 10m plots r...

Theoretical models of thermo-mechanical ductile shear zone deformation in rocks
Thesis
Theoretical models of thermo-mechanical ductile shear zone deformation in rocks. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416844

Thermo-mechanical models of ductile shear zones have been constructed for both viscous and viscoelastic materials. The viscous model has been applied to both shear zones and ductile thrusts for constant velocity and constant shear stress boundary con...

An investigation of some factors affecting the variability of the McCollough effect
Thesis
An investigation of some factors affecting the variability of the McCollough effect. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416845

A series of experiments are reported which have attempted to isolate some factors causing inter and intrasubject variability of the McCollough effect.* A number of such factors were found.
1. The initial strength of the OCCA is strongly influenced b... Read More about An investigation of some factors affecting the variability of the McCollough effect.

Reliable file storage in a distributed computing system
Thesis
Reliable file storage in a distributed computing system. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416853

This thesis considers the problem of how to construct a file-store which is reliable in terms of high accessibility of data and low likelihood of data loss. In particular the problem is discussed in the context of a local area network computer archit... Read More about Reliable file storage in a distributed computing system.

Spatial, temporal and chromatic properties of human scalp-recorded potentials evoked by patterned visual stimuli
Thesis
Spatial, temporal and chromatic properties of human scalp-recorded potentials evoked by patterned visual stimuli. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416858

A series of experiments are reported in which the spatial, temporal and chromatic properties of the initial components Cl and CII of the transient pattern-onset VEP, of predicted striate and extrastriate origin, are examined. Where relevant the respo... Read More about Spatial, temporal and chromatic properties of human scalp-recorded potentials evoked by patterned visual stimuli.

Social aspects of production and reproduction in Bonda society
Thesis
Social aspects of production and reproduction in Bonda society. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416859

As of now there is an enormous empirical material on the
Indian tribes. But an adequate explanation of the present state and status of tribal societies is yet to emerge. Indian tribal studies, however, fall into two different paradigms - cultural an... Read More about Social aspects of production and reproduction in Bonda society.
