Training in counselling: the development, implementation and evaluation of 'listening and responding', an approach to teaching communication skills to nurses
Thesis
Connor, M. (1987). Training in counselling: the development, implementation and evaluation of 'listening and responding', an approach to teaching communication skills to nurses

A model for training nurses in the skills of communication and counselling was developed from microcouselling and problem management approaches. The model was used with twenty trainee nurse teachers during a course of one day per week, for ten weeks...

Homoclinic bifurcation and saddle connections for duffing type oscillators
Thesis
Davenport, N. M. (1987). Homoclinic bifurcation and saddle connections for duffing type oscillators

The study primarily considers the nondlmensionallsed Buffing's equation x" + kx' - x + x3 = F Cos wt, (k, F, ?) > 0, and investigates the various phenomena associated with small damping and forcing amplitude. Through the use of Liapunov functions... Read More about Homoclinic bifurcation and saddle connections for duffing type oscillators.

Dynamic properties of an ammonia maser incorporating a disc resonator
Thesis
Davis, J. A. (1987). Dynamic properties of an ammonia maser incorporating a disc resonator

The oscillation properties of an ammonia maser employing dual molecular beams and a Fabry-Perot type disc resonator are investigated. The molecular beam flux is pulsed by the use of small fuel injection valves. The resulting gas pulses entering the m...

The United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) 1948-1965, with postscript on the impact on UNMOGIP of the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971
Thesis
Dawson, P. (1987). The United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) 1948-1965, with postscript on the impact on UNMOGIP of the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971

In January 1949 the first UN Military Observers arrived in Kashmir to supervise a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, following hostilities arising from Kashmir's disputed status after Independence. In-accepting the resolutions of a UN Commission w...

Evaluation of the pinocytic uptake and cellular processing of antibody-N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide copolymer conjugates and estimation of their potential use in "targeted" drug delivery
Thesis
Flanagan, P. A. (1987). Evaluation of the pinocytic uptake and cellular processing of antibody-N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide copolymer conjugates and estimation of their potential use in "targeted" drug delivery

125 I-labelled protein (entibody or trensferrin)-N-(2-hydroxypropy1)methacrylamide (HPMA)copolymer conjugates were characterised using gel permeation chromatography and their average molecular weight (Kw) determined (Chapter 3). It was estimated that...

The population dynamics of field pansy (Viola arvensis) and red deadnettle (Lamium purpureum) in winter cereal and oilseed rape fields
Thesis
Gilbert, J. (1987). The population dynamics of field pansy (Viola arvensis) and red deadnettle (Lamium purpureum) in winter cereal and oilseed rape fields

The population dynamics of Viola arvensis Murr. and Lamiuni purpureum L. were studied in winter cereal and oilseed rape fields in North Staffordshire and Cheshire. The seedling emergence, seedbank density, population survival and potential seed input...

Arms and influence in Saudi Arabia/United States relations, 1973-1983
Thesis
Ishgi, M. H. (1987). Arms and influence in Saudi Arabia/United States relations, 1973-1983

This thesis investigates empirically the realist argument that the United States arms transfers produced political influence on Saudi Arabia's foreign policy behaviour between 1973 and 1983. Within six chapters I set out the conditions and interactio... Read More about Arms and influence in Saudi Arabia/United States relations, 1973-1983.

An edition of D.H. Lawrence's verse and prose as contained in the Ada Lawrence Clarke Collection
Thesis
Jones, J. C. (1987). An edition of D.H. Lawrence's verse and prose as contained in the Ada Lawrence Clarke Collection

This thesis presents an edition of the largely unpublished Clarke Collection of holographs of D.H.Lawrence. The Ada Lawrence Clarke Collection, which is in the possession of Mr.W.H.Clarke, son of Ada and nephew of D.H.Lawrence, contains, in addition... Read More about An edition of D.H.

The rural community: a case study of two regions of Staffordshire, 1750 - 1900
Thesis
Kitchener, M. J. (1987). The rural community: a case study of two regions of Staffordshire, 1750 - 1900

In studies of community in the past there is a general absence of conscious, structured theory, invariably resulting in a lack of coherence and comparability. This thesis is, then, an application of the concept using an explicit theory of community.... Read More about The rural community: a case study of two regions of Staffordshire, 1750 - 1900.
