Thesis
(1982). The biostratigraphy and palaeoecology of Middle to Late Miocene Planktonic Foraminifera and Radiolaria from the equatorial Pacific Ocean (DSDP sites 289 and 71)

Planktonic foraminifera and Radiolaria from the Middle to Late Miocene of DSDP Sites 289 and 71 in the western and central equatorial Pacific have been investigated with the aim of explaining certain changes in the biota in terms of pre-mortal (palae...

Changing patterns of educational development in Shropshire from the restoration until the first Treasury grant 1660 - 1833
Thesis
(1982). Changing patterns of educational development in Shropshire from the restoration until the first Treasury grant 1660 - 1833

This study aims to investigate the nature and extent of education in so far as it concerned Shropshire children in the period between the Restoration and the first Treasury grant to education. A vide variety of hitherto largely unexploited sources, b...

Theoretical models of thermo-mechanical ductile shear zone deformation in rocks
Thesis
(1982). Theoretical models of thermo-mechanical ductile shear zone deformation in rocks

Thermo-mechanical models of ductile shear zones have been constructed for both viscous and viscoelastic materials. The viscous model has been applied to both shear zones and ductile thrusts for constant velocity and constant shear stress boundary con...

An investigation of some factors affecting the variability of the McCollough effect
Thesis
(1982). An investigation of some factors affecting the variability of the McCollough effect

A series of experiments are reported which have attempted to isolate some factors causing inter and intrasubject variability of the McCollough effect.* A number of such factors were found. 1. The initial strength of the OCCA is strongly influenced b... Read More about An investigation of some factors affecting the variability of the McCollough effect.

Thesis
(1982). Some aspects of the Romano-British Church of the fourth and fifth centuries

Evidence for the Baptismal and Eucharistic liturgies used by the Romano-British Church of the fourth and fifth centuries is at the moment confined to a few incidental references in the writings of St. Patrick and of fEastidiusf - in so far as these r...

Spatial, temporal and chromatic properties of human scalp-recorded potentials evoked by patterned visual stimuli
Thesis
(1982). Spatial, temporal and chromatic properties of human scalp-recorded potentials evoked by patterned visual stimuli

A series of experiments are reported in which the spatial, temporal and chromatic properties of the initial components Cl and CII of the transient pattern-onset VEP, of predicted striate and extrastriate origin, are examined. Where relevant the respo... Read More about Spatial, temporal and chromatic properties of human scalp-recorded potentials evoked by patterned visual stimuli.

An imperial frame of mind: imperialist and racialist attitudes in the British periodical press 1851-1914
Thesis
(1982). An imperial frame of mind: imperialist and racialist attitudes in the British periodical press 1851-1914

Study of Britain's periodical press from 1351 to 1914- reveals a widespread and continuous interest in imperial affairs. Expectations of economic reward from colonial ventures were accompanied by the desire to prevent foreign powers extending their t...
