Convention and constraint in the operation of musical groups: two case studies
Thesis
(1983). Convention and constraint in the operation of musical groups: two case studies

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the ways in which Howard Becker's notions of convention and constraint operate in the functioning of selected musical groups. In particular, areas under investigation include the interrelated networks of media... Read More about Convention and constraint in the operation of musical groups: two case studies.

Thesis
(1984). The application of iterative, decomposition and comparison methods to dual extremum principles

ii.is thesis is concerned with dual extremum principles and their applications. Dual extremum principles provide bounds to a functional associated with a given equation, and in some cases this functional is a measure oi a physical quantity. These bou...

Studies on the analysis of ecdysteroids and on the seasonal variation of the moulting hormones of the barnacle, Balanus balanoides
Thesis
(1984). Studies on the analysis of ecdysteroids and on the seasonal variation of the moulting hormones of the barnacle, Balanus balanoides

The separation properties of a number of ecdysteroids were examined. The ecdysteroids themselves were separated by thin layer and reverse phase thin layer chromatography. Trimethylsilyl ethers of the ecdysteroids were prepared by reaction with trimet...
