Calhoun and the concept of the "reactionary enlightenment": an examination of the disquisition on government
Thesis
Clarke, J. (1982). Calhoun and the concept of the "reactionary enlightenment": an examination of the disquisition on government

In the 1950s, Louis Hartz drew attention to the curiously paradoxical nature of antebellum Southern political thought by coining the descriptive phrase the "Reactionary Enlightenment". The essence of the paradox lay in the apparent impossibility of c... Read More about Calhoun and the concept of the "reactionary enlightenment": an examination of the disquisition on government.

Implementation and policy change: aspects of bus passenger transport in the U.K.
Thesis
Dudley, G. (1982). Implementation and policy change: aspects of bus passenger transport in the U.K

The dynamics of policy change are inevitably complex, and can involve inputs at all stages of the policy process. These stages are to some extent interdependent, and the expertise of the implementer, together with the usually long time-scale involved...

X-ray diffraction and molecular modelbuilding studies on the deoxyribonucleic acid double helix
Thesis
Greenall, R. J. (1982). X-ray diffraction and molecular modelbuilding studies on the deoxyribonucleic acid double helix

The known nucleic acid conformations and the methods by which they are determined using X-ray fibre diffraction are reviewed and discussed. A new stacking scheme for Watson-Crick base-pairs is described and a left-handed model of B-DNA which incorpor...

Images in conflict: visual imagery and the troubles in Northern Ireland (1968 - 1981)
Thesis
Loftus, B. (1982). Images in conflict: visual imagery and the troubles in Northern Ireland (1968 - 1981)

This thesis examines the roles of visual imagery in relation to Northern Ireland's present troubles. It surveys fine art and popular imagery employed in Northern Ireland with relevant material from England and the Irish Republic. The theoretical appr...

Leisure-rich and leisure-poor: the place of leisure in the life styles of young adults
Thesis
Bernard, M. (1983). Leisure-rich and leisure-poor: the place of leisure in the life styles of young adults

Any attempt to understand the nature of leisure must explore how it meshes with other aspects of people's lives. Early research on leisure tended to be large-scale and activity rather than peopleorientated, which has proved restrictive in planning te...

The sedimentology and stratigraphy of red beds in the Westphalian A to C of central England
Thesis
Besly, B. (1983). The sedimentology and stratigraphy of red beds in the Westphalian A to C of central England

Red beds in the Westphalian A to C of Central England belong to the Etruria Formation. Examination of exposures and cores has allowed subdivision of this Formation into three Facies Associations. Facies Association I forms the gradational base of t... Read More about The sedimentology and stratigraphy of red beds in the Westphalian A to C of central England.

Ethnicity, politics and education: a study in the development of Malayan education and its policy implementation process 1955-1970
Thesis
(1983). Ethnicity, politics and education: a study in the development of Malayan education and its policy implementation process 1955-1970

Basically, the problems of Malayan education centred around the 'language of instruction in schools' and its position in the national system of education. What invoked the controversy was over the claim of legitimacy each ethnic group had over their...

X-ray fibre diffraction studies on the polymorphism of DNA and its synthetic analogues
Thesis
(1983). X-ray fibre diffraction studies on the polymorphism of DNA and its synthetic analogues

The known conformations of DNA are b r ie fly reviewed. Methods which are developed and used to prepare DNA fibres are described. A left-handed model having 8 7 symmetry has been proposed in an attempt to explain the D-DNA diffraction pattern. Co...

The Laxfordian structure of the Kenmore inlier, Loch Torridon, Ross Shire
Thesis
(1983). The Laxfordian structure of the Kenmore inlier, Loch Torridon, Ross Shire

Detailed mapping has been carried out of an area l2sq.km in extent around Kenmore on the south side of Loch Torridon together with a reconnaissance traverse on the north side of Loch Torridon in Diabaig. The Kenmore area exhibits particularly strong... Read More about The Laxfordian structure of the Kenmore inlier, Loch Torridon, Ross Shire.

Strategies in the reproduction of geometric figures: a developmental analysis
Thesis
(1983). Strategies in the reproduction of geometric figures: a developmental analysis

The thesis examines one important area of the skills that underlie the development of non-representational graphic ability, namely the strategies used by children and adults when reproducing geometric figure stimuli in a variety of test conditions. A... Read More about Strategies in the reproduction of geometric figures: a developmental analysis.

Recent and late quaternary ecology, distribution and provincialism of Ostracoda in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans
Thesis
(1983). Recent and late quaternary ecology, distribution and provincialism of Ostracoda in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans

A total of 393 samples were examined, of which 259 samples contained ostracods. Some 15,800 individual benthonic ostracod specimens were counted and assigned to 172 species. Of these, 1250 individuals of 58 species were live. The majority of the Ost...
