Visual comparison of patterns: the significance of pattern transformation and pattern arrangement in the visual field
Thesis
(1980). Visual comparison of patterns: the significance of pattern transformation and pattern arrangement in the visual field

The two main types of scheme for the internal representation and internal processing of visual stimuli involve either a 'pointlllistic' internal representation to which various internal compensatory transformations can be applied, or a structured, in...

The effects of hydrogen, oxygen and water vapour on the work function and resistance of titanium films
Thesis
(1980). The effects of hydrogen, oxygen and water vapour on the work function and resistance of titanium films

The changes of work function; ? and resistance; R of titanium films were measured in U.H.V. at room temperature, when- hydrogen, oxygen and water vapour interacted with them. The interaction of hydrogen reduced R by 30% after an initial increase of 1... Read More about The effects of hydrogen, oxygen and water vapour on the work function and resistance of titanium films.

Social stress in female mice: effects of differential housing on adrenocortical activity and the oestrous cycle
Thesis
(1980). Social stress in female mice: effects of differential housing on adrenocortical activity and the oestrous cycle

The general aim of this study has been to examine some physiological and behavioural aspects of crowding in mice. The notion of stress has been central to this study. Using Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome hypothesis as a framework, modern ideas o...

Aspects of the stratigraphy and ammonite faunas of the Aalenian-Bajocian stages in Great Britain
Thesis
(1980). Aspects of the stratigraphy and ammonite faunas of the Aalenian-Bajocian stages in Great Britain

A detailed stratigraphic revision of parts of the Aalenian-Bajocian Stages is undertaken. The status of the Sowerbyi zone is discussed and reasons given for its rejection and replacement by the Discites and Laeviuscula Zones. The Sauzei Zone is rede...

Fracture and flow in glass
Thesis
(1980). Fracture and flow in glass

The indentation creep Behaviour and the apparent healing of cracks are studied in several silicate glasses in different environments and at different temperatures. The results obtained do not confirm previous findings that the indentation creep rate... Read More about Fracture and flow in glass.

1497 and the western rising
Thesis
(1981). 1497 and the western rising

1497 waa a year critical to the development of the Tudor state. The first dawning of a distinctly Tudor, as opposed to Yorkist or Lancastrian regime emerged from it. The events of that year are described in narrative form, as are the preceding ten ye... Read More about 1497 and the western rising.

Importing the Sonic Souvenir: issues of cross-cultural composition
Presentation / Conference
Importing the Sonic Souvenir: issues of cross-cultural composition. Presented at Electroacoustic Music Studies Network Conference (Sforzando!), New York

Sourcing sound materials from distant and foreign locations has become a relatively commonand elementary practice for the electroacoustic music composer to engage with. The ease andfrequency of traveling has been responsible, in part, widening the av... Read More about Importing the Sonic Souvenir: issues of cross-cultural composition.

An evaluation of a distance-teaching approach to science teacher education
Thesis
Brophy, M. (1982). An evaluation of a distance-teaching approach to science teacher education

This study examines the role played by science education in developing countries and finds that the effectiveness of science education in promoting either economic or social development is limited by the shortage of trained science teachers. The way... Read More about An evaluation of a distance-teaching approach to science teacher education.
