Time interval statistics in speech synthesis: A critical evaluation
Thesis
Underwood, M. J. (1968). Time interval statistics in speech synthesis: A critical evaluation

A speech wave that has been successively amplified and limited so that it is reduced to a rectangular form is intelligible to a human listener. Much information is retained in the temporal pattern of the time-intervals between the changes of state of... Read More about Time interval statistics in speech synthesis: A critical evaluation.

Isolation and structural studies on a locust feeding inhibitor from neem seeds
Thesis
Butterworth, J. H. (1969). Isolation and structural studies on a locust feeding inhibitor from neem seeds

Two species of Meliaceae, neem (Azadirachta indica A.Juss) and Melia azedarach L. have been reported by various workers to inhibit feeding in the desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria). In this work a systematic investigation of extracts of neem seeds... Read More about Isolation and structural studies on a locust feeding inhibitor from neem seeds.

Studies on the syntheses of azonia-azulenes and related compounds
Thesis
Collington, E. W. (1969). Studies on the syntheses of azonia-azulenes and related compounds

Some substituted azonia-azulenes have been prepared for the first time. The synthetic route involves the double elimination of hydrogen bromide from the appropriate a,a-dibromoketone using lithium chloride in dimethylformamide. Attempts have been m...

A comparison of two measures of attitude: Scalogram analysis and the semantic differential test
Thesis
Cooney, D. S. (1969). A comparison of two measures of attitude: Scalogram analysis and the semantic differential test

The supposed identity of the evaluative factor of the semantic differential with another measure of attitude, a Guttman scale, is discussed and empirically investigated. Theoretical considerations suggest that the degree of association observed may... Read More about A comparison of two measures of attitude: Scalogram analysis and the semantic differential test.

The geology of the Lewisian rocks north of Loch Torridon, Ross-Shire, Scotland
Thesis
Cresswell, D. (1969). The geology of the Lewisian rocks north of Loch Torridon, Ross-Shire, Scotland

The Lewisian rocks of Loch Torridon consist of banded acid gneisses enclosing a number of basic and ultrabasic bodies and cut by a swarm of NW-SE trending basic dykes and by a later set of pegmatite dykes and a granite sheet. No definite conclusion... Read More about The geology of the Lewisian rocks north of Loch Torridon, Ross-Shire, Scotland.

“My husband knows what is best for me…”: An exploration of educated Saudi women’s views towards domestic violence
Thesis
Nahshal, M. (2018). “My husband knows what is best for me…”: An exploration of educated Saudi women’s views towards domestic violence

Domestic violence, as we know from existing literature, is an ancient and global phenomenon (United Nations Report, 1970-90, 1991; World Health Organisation, 2005; Kaur & Garg, 2008). However, in Saudi Arabia, the problem of domestic violence only ca...

Set theory and truth
Thesis
Dale, A. J. (1969). Set theory and truth

This thesis covers a number of related topics in the foundations of set theory. Section 1 contains an analysis of the paradoxes which suggests a way of looking at the axioms of any formalised set theory as to a certain extent legislating how 'is a me... Read More about Set theory and truth.

A study of the paramagnetic resonance and transport properties of electrons in gallium phosphide
Thesis
Thompson, F. (1969). A study of the paramagnetic resonance and transport properties of electrons in gallium phosphide

The work described in this thesis is concerned with the transport properties and paramagnetic resonance of electrons from shallow donor impurities, namely, silicon, sulphur and tellurium, in gallium phosphide (GaP). The crystals of GaP, which had bee... Read More about A study of the paramagnetic resonance and transport properties of electrons in gallium phosphide.

Theoretical studies of vacancy pair centres in the alkaline earth oxides
Thesis
To, K. C. (1969). Theoretical studies of vacancy pair centres in the alkaline earth oxides

This thesis is concerned with colour centres, particularly the FC+-centre, in the alkaline earth oxides. The FC+-centre consists of an electron trapped at an anion-cation vacancy pair and is intimately connected with the F+-centre, an electron trappe...

Experimental study of coherence phenomena in electric dipole systems at millimetre wavelengths
Thesis
Uppal, G. S. (1969). Experimental study of coherence phenomena in electric dipole systems at millimetre wavelengths

The work described in this thesis is concerned with the development of millimetre wave spectrometers and their application to the study of coherence phenomena in a system of electric dipoles. The investigations reported here were aimed at developin... Read More about Experimental study of coherence phenomena in electric dipole systems at millimetre wavelengths.

The structure of polyacrylonitrile based carbon fibres as studied by electron spin resonance and other electronic properties
Thesis
Assabghy, F. Y. I. (1970). The structure of polyacrylonitrile based carbon fibres as studied by electron spin resonance and other electronic properties

In view of their recently acquired technological importance, the structure and properties of carbon fibres are currently receiving considerable attention. Although the use of electron spin resonance (CSR) in the study of carbons and graphites has lon...

Voluntary effort in English elementary schools, 1846 to 1870: a study of the contribution of school managers to educational developments
Thesis
Ball, N. (1970). Voluntary effort in English elementary schools, 1846 to 1870: a study of the contribution of school managers to educational developments

Before 1070, the decision as to whether to establish a public elementary school and whether to accept or reject government aid rested with private individuals, the 'promoters of schools' who are the concern of this study. Some schools, both denominat... Read More about Voluntary effort in English elementary schools, 1846 to 1870: a study of the contribution of school managers to educational developments.
