The rural community: a case study of two regions of Staffordshire, 1750 - 1900
Thesis
Kitchener, M. J. (1987). The rural community: a case study of two regions of Staffordshire, 1750 - 1900

In studies of community in the past there is a general absence of conscious, structured theory, invariably resulting in a lack of coherence and comparability. This thesis is, then, an application of the concept using an explicit theory of community.... Read More about The rural community: a case study of two regions of Staffordshire, 1750 - 1900.

Adaptive cancellation techniques for noise reduction in electrocardiography
Thesis
Mukalaf, A. (1987). Adaptive cancellation techniques for noise reduction in electrocardiography

This thesis describes an investigation of the application of adaptive filtering techniques in electrocardiography (ECG), with particular reference to exercise testing. The main objective in this study was to observe the effectiveness of adaptive meth... Read More about Adaptive cancellation techniques for noise reduction in electrocardiography.

The separation technique for nonlinear partial differential equations: general results and its connection with other methods
Thesis
Malloki, I. A. (1987). The separation technique for nonlinear partial differential equations: general results and its connection with other methods

This thesis is primarily a study of the separation method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations, which is a generalisation of the classical separation approach as applied to linear equations. The method is of Importance since it produc... Read More about The separation technique for nonlinear partial differential equations: general results and its connection with other methods.

Psychophysical evidence concerning the integration of curvature information in short contours
Thesis
(1980). Psychophysical evidence concerning the integration of curvature information in short contours

Performance of curvature discrimination was measured for a wide range of stimulus curvatures and sizes, using an adaptive version of the Method of Constant Stimuli. Performance is expressed both in terms of curvature difference thresholds, and effici...

Run-time diagnostics in programming languages with data-structuring facilities
Thesis
(1980). Run-time diagnostics in programming languages with data-structuring facilities

Modern high level programming languages have been designed with the intention of providing the means of expressing the solution to a problem in the most natural way possible. This thesis is concerned with the correctness of such solutions.
The relia... Read More about Run-time diagnostics in programming languages with data-structuring facilities.

Sedimentation and shallow structure of the south Cretan-Karpathos sector of the Hellenic trench system
Thesis
(1981). Sedimentation and shallow structure of the south Cretan-Karpathos sector of the Hellenic trench system

The Central Hellenic Trench System is part of a well-developed convergent plate boundary, the Hellenic Trench and Arc, associated with the continental collisions of the Aegean and African Plates,and divided Into the Gavdos, Gortys, PHny and Strabo se...

The application of numerical modelling techniques to the mechanisms of reservoir- and mining-induced seismicity
Thesis
(1981). The application of numerical modelling techniques to the mechanisms of reservoir- and mining-induced seismicity

A survey of the 31 case histories of reservoir-induced seismicity has failed to Indicate any relationships between the geology of an area and the induced tremors. The occurrence of induced seismicity Is however related to the water height and, to a l...

The supernatural reference: the presence and effect of supernatural terror in English fiction of the mid-nineteenth century
Thesis
(1981). The supernatural reference: the presence and effect of supernatural terror in English fiction of the mid-nineteenth century

I. Introduction. II, Animal electricity, mesmerism, Swedenborgianism and phrenology all had a bearing on ideas of the supernatural. Of particular importance were studies by Ferriar and Hibbert which accounted for apparitions on the basis of sensory d...

Neighbourhood attachment and patterns of behaviour: a theoretical and empirical analysis of urban life
Thesis
(1981). Neighbourhood attachment and patterns of behaviour: a theoretical and empirical analysis of urban life

This thesis sets out to examine the spatial aspects of microsocial behaviour at the neighbourhood level. It seeks to achieve a better understanding of what ordinary people think about their local area, and how this affects their behaviour within that...

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...
