Temporal characteristics of spoken consonants as discriminants in automatic speech recognition
Thesis
Green, P. D. (1970). Temporal characteristics of spoken consonants as discriminants in automatic speech recognition

Three time-varying functions, which can be extracted. directly from the raw speech waveform, are of importance in the field of automatic speech recognition. These functions arc the zero-crossing rate, the turnaround (local maximum or minimum) rate an...

Selected reactions of photo-excited carbonyl compounds in the liquid phase
Thesis
Holmes, J. D. (1970). Selected reactions of photo-excited carbonyl compounds in the liquid phase

The work presented in this thesis falls into two parts; firstly, a study or the cis-trans isomerisation or methyl tiglate (trans 2-carbometho:xy-2-butene) and secondly, a study or the quenching of the Norrish Type II reaction by cyclohexene. Both set... Read More about Selected reactions of photo-excited carbonyl compounds in the liquid phase.

Studies related to the polymerisation of styrene by perchloric acid
Thesis
Mathias, E. (1970). Studies related to the polymerisation of styrene by perchloric acid

The interaction of styrene with HCl04 has been studied in
CCl4, CHCl3, CH2Cl2, EtN02 and PhN02.
No polymerisation occurs in CCl4 at 0 degrees.
The polymerisation in CHCl3 at 0 degrees, -30 degrees and -60 degrees is complicated by side reactions o... Read More about Studies related to the polymerisation of styrene by perchloric acid.

Vibrational energy transfer processes in gaseous systems at high temperatures
Thesis
Millward, G. E. (1970). Vibrational energy transfer processes in gaseous systems at high temperatures

A study has been made of the rate of vibrational excitation in shock heated CO for the temperature range l300K - 2500K, by observation of the infrared emission behind the incident shock wave. Care was taken to eliminate'impurity effects and the non u... Read More about Vibrational energy transfer processes in gaseous systems at high temperatures.

Studies on nucleotides and related compounds
Thesis
Rehan, A. H. (1970). Studies on nucleotides and related compounds

The chemistry of polynucleotides is reviewed. Polydeoxyribonucleotides containing thyuddylate and deoxyadenylate residues were synthesised using aqueous solutions and either l-cyclohexyl-3 (2-morpholinoethyl) carbodiimide metho-p-toluenesulphonate (w...

The themes and techniques in the pre-conversion novels of J.K. Huysmans
Thesis
Roach, J. (1970). The themes and techniques in the pre-conversion novels of J.K. Huysmans

Our study covers the novels from Marthe to La-bas.
In Part I, we examine four themes: Time, Death, Alienation, Love. In each case we establish the theme in the individual novel and trace its evolution across the work, showing how the theme finds it... Read More about The themes and techniques in the pre-conversion novels of J.K. Huysmans.

Britain, her Middle East mandates and the emergence of Saudi-Arabia, 1926-1932: a study in the process of British policy-making and in the conduct and development of Britain's relations with Ibn Saud
Thesis
Hagar, . G. M. M. A. (1981). Britain, her Middle East mandates and the emergence of Saudi-Arabia, 1926-1932: a study in the process of British policy-making and in the conduct and development of Britain's relations with Ibn Saud

The aim of this study is to analyse Britain's relations with Ibn Saud between 1926 when he conquered the Hejaz and 1932, when reconciliation between the Saudis and the Hashemites was achieved. From analysis of the policy making process it is hoped to...

Motivation and function of play in early childhood
Thesis
Hughes, M. (1981). Motivation and function of play in early childhood

It is argued that a classification of play which can be systematically related to motivation and function is a prerequisite for empirical studies. 'Arousal' theories have come closest to providing a framework for understanding motivation and function... Read More about Motivation and function of play in early childhood.

The nature and origins of boredom
Thesis
Perkins, R. E. (1981). The nature and origins of boredom

It has been assumed, stemming from the work of Hebb (1955, 1966) and Berlyne (1960, 1967), that boredom occurs when stimuli are physically monotonous. Further the authors argue that boredom is accompanied by an aversive state of physiological arousal... Read More about The nature and origins of boredom.
